Universal is hard at work creating a theme Park that will rival the likes of Walt Disney World Resort, dubbed the “Disney Killer.” Universal’s Epic Universe will open to the public in 2025, and progress is full steam ahead.
Very soon, Guests visiting Universal Orlando Resort will have much more time to spend on their vacation as its fourth Park will give Guests that week-long experience, dubbed “The Disney Killer.”
What’s Been Going On at Universal Orlando Resort?
A lot has been announced by Universal these past few months. With less than 100 days to go until Halloween Horror Nights, Universal has yet to release any official house details other than a Chucky-themed house.
This year’s spooky event title is “See You In The Fog.” Some merchandise has been released for fans to pick up throughout the Parks.
Lady Gaga might be heading to HHN 32, and a rumored house that will be themed around the famous singer has been announced.
Could an anime-themed house also be coming to HHN this year? That’s the word around the mysterious world, as HHN fans have gotten rumors of a possible place themed after the iconic Demon Slayer anime.
Suppose you’re a fan of Five Nights At Freddy’s. In that case, you’re in for a treat as another rumor circulating the internet is a themed house is also coming to HHN 32 this year but again – all rumors until Universal makes that official announcement.
There are also some significant updates regarding the new Minions Land taking shape at Universal Studios Florida, along with the opening of the Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Tribute Store.
And now to those incredibly gigantic new details surrounding Universal’s Epic Universe.
It’s Full Steam Ahead for Universal’s “Disney Killer,” Epic Universe Theme Park
Epic Universe will feature new lands, attractions, and dining experiences for Universal fans to enjoy year-round.
Some of the themed lands coming soon will be:
