Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’ve been talking nonstop about Epic Universe, and we’re not going to stop anytime soon (#sorrynotsorry). It’s not every day a brand-new theme park comes along in Florida!
We can’t help it. Epic Universe is…well…EPIC. And there’s so much to talk about. Not only did this new theme park bring five NEW lands to Universal Orlando, but it also brought new food and new restaurants — which you KNOW we get excited about. Plus, if you stay at a Universal Orlando hotel, you get a SWEET perk: you can get into Epic Universe (and other Universal Orlando parks) an hour earlier than everyone else. Well, that early admission perk just got a DARK update.
Okay, you see where we’re going with this, right? By DARK, we mean that you can now ride both rides in Dark Universe in Epic Universe with early admission. Yep, if you want to hop on Curse of the Werewolf or Monsters Unchained, you’ll have a chance to do it BEFORE the crowds arrive in the park (as long as you’re staying at a Universal Orlando hotel).
Other rides available for pre-admission include Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, Yoshi’s Adventure, Mine-Cart Madness, Stardust Racers, and Constellation Carousel. At this time, early admission does not include rides in How To Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic.
Early admission also gets you into selected attractions at Universal Volcano Bay, Universal Studios Florida, and Universal Islands of Adventure. So keep that in mind if you’re booking a trip to Universal and want to get that special perk.
