Epic Universe Begins Day-Testing New Monster Roller Coaster Coming to the Dark Universe
Recent aerial footage captured by Chopper 2 of WESH 2 News in Orlando during Thursday’s flight reveals the testing phase of several new roller coasters at Epic Universe, Universal’s forthcoming theme park.
Among the roller coasters undergoing comprehensive testing, one located within the “Dark Universe” realm of the park remains unidentified. This particular section of Epic Universe promises to transport guests into a realm inspired by Universal’s iconic monsters.
Scheduled to inaugurate its gates in 2025, Epic Universe marks Universal’s latest addition to Orlando’s vibrant entertainment landscape. In January, Universal divulged details about the park, outlining its design to encompass five distinct thematic realms for visitors to explore and indulge in.
At the nucleus of Epic Universe lies Celestial Park, an enchanting realm drawing inspiration from astronomical and mythological motifs. As a gateway to four other themed realms, Celestial Park is slated to house the park’s most exhilarating roller coaster experience. From dark matter to dark energy, the Universal Monster land will undoubtedly bring the Dark Universe stories to like in more ways than one. Get ready to Monster Mash all year round, as the Classic Monster cinematic universe will be brought to life at this Universal theme park next year.
The four additional worlds constituting Epic Universe include The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – the Isle of Berk, and the Dark, as mentioned earlier, Universe. Experts interviewed by WESH 2 expressed admiration for the rapid progression of the park’s construction. Thursday’s test run serves as yet another indication of Epic Universe’s commendable strides toward completion.
In addition to its attractions, Epic Universe is poised to become a premier destination for vacationers. The park will feature the Universal Helios Grand Hotel, boasting up to 500 rooms, and its dedicated entrance into the theme park.
