More Wizarding World Coming to Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando Resort’s new theme park, Epic Universe, will include a new Wizarding World of Harry Potter land called The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. This land will combine 1920s Paris from the Fantastic Beasts films with the British Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter series.

The official announcement came just hours after Universal revealed a seven-minute sneak peek into Epic Universe, confirming all the new lands coming to the latest theme park in 2025.

The land will include rides, a Starfall Racers racing coaster, and a carousel inspired by constellations. It will also feature a lush, green world with thrills, entertainment, dining, and shopping.

Epic Universe is scheduled to open in the summer of 2025 and will take up almost 750 acres of land, almost twice the size of EPCOT and seven times that of The Magic Kingdom.

Universal CityWalk is a shopping, dining, and entertainment area beside Universal’s theme parks. It’s not part of admission, but some say it’s a place to shop hop and enjoy the environment. Universal CityWalk has many options, including snacky options, a food court, and several places to get ice cream. Some stores are unique, but items can be pricey.

Aside from this location opening inside of CityWalk, Universal is also gearing up to overhaul its Wand experiences within Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida.
