Well, it finally happened. We got to go INSIDE Epic Universe and share that experience with you. Yes, our jaws have been dropping non-stop all weekend (and yes, there were some tears of joy, too), and we’re not done yet telling you all about it.
Now that we’ve visited all five lands in Epic Universe, we’re coming in with our takes, and we’ll admit that a lot of things surprised us (those big lockers at Monsters Unchained, for example). But the best news that came out of our visit might surprise you, so let’s get into it.
Let’s just say this weekend has been…EPIC.
We finally got a chance to explore Universal Orlando’s new theme park, Epic Universe. We’ve been running all over Super Nintendo World, as well as How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Celestial Park, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic. We also got to get our first really good look at Dark Universe, including the INCREDIBLE Monsters Unchained ride. Well, there was something about that ride that REALLY impressed us that we haven’t talked about yet: the lockers.
To travel to a new universe, one must first go out of this world.
We’re just a few months away from the opening of Epic Universe, the Universal Orlando Resort’s revolutionary, years-in-the-making new theme park. This game-changing theme park is going to include portals based on major franchises, including Universal’s Monsters, Nintendo, The Wizarding World, and How to Train Your Dragon. However, to reach those lands, you’ll need to cross through another…
We love casting spells at Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, but we’ve been twiddling our wands waiting for more details about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe to drop.
Ever since Universal Studios Orlando announced a brand new third gate, they’ve been slowly releasing information about what to expect inside the park. We finally have an insider look into the Ministry of Magic, and we have so much to share! [Read more…]
It’s finally happening — we are here at Epic Universe!

Epic Universe — The Chronos Tower
The park will open to the public on May 22nd, but we are here for a special sneak peek! Universal gave us a preview inside the How To Train Your Dragon area called How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk. These are the BEST hidden details we noticed.
The grand opening of Universal Orlando’s third theme park, Epic Universe, is coming up soon.
On May 22nd, we’ll finally see ALL of Epic Universe for the first time, and we cannot wait. The new park will be bringing five NEW themed lands to Universal, including a land dedicated to How To Train Your Dragon called How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk. Well, ahead of Epic Universe’s opening, Universal gave us a FIRST LOOK inside the land AND we have all the details!
It’s time! Yep, that’s right — we’re taking you BACK inside the brand-new Epic Universe theme park at Universal Orlando Resort. We had a preview of this park not too long ago, but now we’ve returned with a vengeance — and with photos!
We’re taking you INSIDE Universal’s brand-new theme park, Epic Universe. We’re stepping through the portals and daring to experience all that this epic park has to offer — and you won’t believe your eyes.
