Universal Orlando’s fourth theme park will house Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic and an area themed around Universal Classic Monsters.

Universal Orlando will open its fourth theme park – Universal Epic Universe – in 2025.

Epic Universe will house zones centred around brands like Wizarding World, Nintendo, How to Train Your Dragon and Universal Classic Monsters.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic blends the 1920s Paris seen in the Fantastic Beasts films with the British Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter series.

Elsewhere, the park’s Super Nintendo World will see guests enter the iconic green pipe for an immersive experience based on the company’s smash-hit games, while How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk takes fans into the world of the films.

A Dark Universe world will bring visitors into a land of myths and monsters based on Universal Classic Monsters, while Celestial Park is set to boast acres of gardens and acts as a gateway to the other worlds.

Epic Universe will also house three new Universal hotels: Universal Stella Nova Resort, Universal Terra Luna Resort and the Universal Helios Grand Hotel.
