Good morning, Orlando Treasures families! Let’s take a peek behind the scenes at Universal’s Epic Universe, a dreamlike world that officially opened in May 2025. If you’ve been wondering what new thrills and immersive lands await, here’s a fun update.
Construction is more than just buildings—it’s about storytelling. A new permit reveals an additional 50-acre parcel being prepared near Epic Universe, expanding beyond the current park’s footprint. Meanwhile, the iconic Stardust Racers roller coaster—Universal’s latest dual-launch thrill ride—continues to wow fans with its futuristic design, racing dueling track, and top speeds of 62 mph.
Earlier in 2025, aerial photos also captured the completion of the park’s majestic Chronos Tower entrance, framing each journey into Epic Universe with grandeur and style. These updates show that Universal isn’t just opening a new park—they’re launching a fully realized world, constantly expanding with new storytelling opportunities.
Planning Tip for Families
If you didn’t visit Epic Universe yet, now is still a great time—crowds are easing post-launch, and the early expansion signals long-term investment in the park’s experience. You might even spot new dining or character experiences soon!
