Comcast NBCUniversal, the parent company of Universal Destinations & Experiences, just revealed some great news. Universal’s newest park, Epic Universe, is now the most profitable theme park in Universal history. This fall had Epic Universe’s best earnings yet and surpassed 1 billion dollars in earnings, the highest of every Universal park across the world.
Epic Universe!
Universal theme parks brought in 23.5% more earnings from last October to December compared to the summer quarter. During the winter quarter, Universal Destinations & Experiences brought in record profits, largely due to their newest theme park, Epic Universe.
Epic Universe isn’t even at full capacity, and it’s breaking records. It was the highest-attended theme park opening in the US in the past 20 years this spring. Epic is causing longer stays, higher per capita spending, and increased demand across Universal’s parks and hotels.

Epic continues to drive higher per capita spending and attendance across the entirety of Universal Orlando Resort, and it already has plans to expand. In 2025, they added three new hotels – Stella Nova Resort, Terra Luna Resort, and the Helios Grand Hotel – which created two thousand new rooms. Their main goal for 2026 is to boost hotel attendance, which had an average daily rate up 20% and occupancy rates up 3%.
