Epic Universe: Universal's NEW park

Are you ready for Universal's BRAND NEW PARK coming in 2025? Epic Universal might just revolutionize the theme park industry! Today, I will explain Epic Universe to you and why it might be Orlando's best new park!

Epic Universe is Universal's new park located a bit farther away from the rest of Universal Orlando Resort, actually closer to the airport and the Orange County Convention Center. If you are at the main Universal Orlando Resort (the two parks), you will need to take a bus, similar to how you go to Volcano Bay.

But what will Epic Universe have?

Epic Universe will feature different IPs from various generations. In fact, some of these themed lands already exist in other Universal theme parks! Let's start from the beginning, and by that, I mean the entrance. We will enter via an arch! Instead of a main street, there will be a large garden with a lake and a flat ride (carousel). Each land will be separate from this main garden. You will enter this "gate" similar to how you do so at Diagon Alley. Our tour will be counterclockwise on the concept art.

Super Nintendo World

Similar to the version at Universal Studios Japan, this land will have a Mario Kart ride and a Yoshi-themed people-mover-esque ride. Additionally, there will be a Donkey Kong mini-land that's also coming to Universal Studios Japan. This will feature a Donkey Kong coaster that will "jump" the fake tracks.

Next up is a land themed to Universal Monsters, from landscapes of European villages to what might just be the park's best ride: a KUKA Arm dark ride. Yes, similar to Forbidden Journey. Additionally, there will also be a roller coaster. So, this might just be the land for you.

Next to the Monsters land will be a hotel, similar to Disneyland Hotel (Paris) or Disney Hotel Miracosta. By that, I mean that after the park closes, you can sleep near the park (if you have the money). According to rumors, this will be Universal Grand Hells Hotel if the trademarks are to be treated seriously.

Right next to the hotel is a new Harry Potter land. Now, according to rumors (and simple observation), this land was supposed to be dedicated to Fantastic Beasts but has since changed after the not-so-successful last Fantastic Beasts movies. It has become simply Harry Potter (again). This time, it is in France, with views of glamorous Paris and places like the Sacre Cour in the background. But what about the main attraction? Well, that long-rumored Ministry of Magic attraction might be coming true with a British Ministry of Magic ride. Yes, if the rumors are to be believed, this ride will recreate the iconic scenes from the movies, similar to Rise of the Resistance. The main villain will apparently be that pink lady from the movies, whatever her name is.

Located near the Harry Potter French land will be a MACK Rides roller coaster, specifically a dueling coaster.

The last land is "How to Train Your Dragon." Are you ready to enter a world where humans and dragons coexist? Then get ready to experience a roller coaster and an awesome theater!

Epic Universe is coming really soon, in 2025, and it has theme park fans on the edge of their seats! What is your favorite part of Epic Universe? Special thanks to Alicia Stella and Bioreconstruct for the info in this article.

Disney unveils a NEW hotel in Shanghai...

Get ready, Disney fans, as a new hotel is on its way to Shanghai Disneyland, and I haven't seen anyone talking about this, at least on major news sites like WDWNT. So, let's take a closer look at this new Art Nouveau hotel! During the opening of Zootopia , Josh D’amaro took the stage with concept art for this project, credit to 吃喝玩乐在上海 for the image. We were able to obtain this information from Xue Bingbing: “Regarding the future plans for the Shanghai Disney Resort, Dai Mingzhe said that Disney is currently planning to build the third resort hotel. On the day of the opening ceremony, the concept image of the third resort hotel was also released.” Shanghai Disney Resort already offers the Toy Story Hotel and Shanghai Disneyland Hotel , so we are excited about what's in store. Keep in mind that SHDL has major expansion plans, so keep your eyes open, as we might see a new land (with a roller coaster) and even a second gate in the future (all based on zoning, planning a

Disneyland's Red Car Trolley closing permanently

Disneyland Resort revealed the closure of another classic attraction, this time its the Red Car Trolley at DCA in early 2025... The announcement was made public via a tweet by @ScottGustin , he said: "NEW: Avengers Campus construction at DCA, set to begin in early 2025, will require the removal of the backstage Red Car Trolley barn and will result in Disney discontinuing operation of the attraction in early 2025, Disneyland officials said. A specific date will be shared later." This suggests that the future of the attraction is likely uncertain and most likely is set to close FOREVER! To understand why the Red Car Trolley is closing forever we need to look back and understand why it exists in the first place! When Disney's California Adventure opened in 2001 it featured no Trolley at all, in fact the entrance experience was different. To describe it in 2024 is complicated, think of a giant post card with The Monorail Passing Thru the Golden Gate Bridge. This Post-modern

New Back to the Future the ride opens... But it's not what you think

The biggest surprise of the year just happened, a new Back to the Future inspired ride opened, but not at Universal... Fans of the IP might be eager to experience a new ride, unfortunately I have bad news: It's from Movieland Studios in Italy! "We Are Back: Kids from the Future" is the newest ride in the park that just premiered, and it shares some striking resemblance to the Iconic 80s & 90s movies. The park describes this attraction as: " We Are Back: Kids from the Future is a simulator that is based on characters of the Back to the Future-film franchise. It revolves around the children and grandchildren of Dr. Emmet 'Doc' Brown. The ride system includes 8 benches seating 6 people, making for 48 people per ride. Benches are placed in two rows of 4 benches." The entrance features a sign reading: ' Dr. Brown & Sons enterprises', Possibly referring to Jules and Verne that appear in the last movie of the franchise. The int
