First Look Inside Universal’s Epic Universe – Stunning New Images Released!
With just two months to go until Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe officially opens its gates on May 22, 2025, Universal has unveiled brand-new images from inside the park—and they are nothing short of EPIC!
While Team Member previews have been underway for the past few weeks, strict no-photo policies meant that fans have been eagerly waiting for ground-level images of the completed lands. Now, for the first time, we’re getting an official look at the park’s breathtaking environments, and the details are absolutely incredible.

Celestial Park & Chronos Tower
The first image gives us a stunning look at Chronos Tower, the grand icon of Celestial Park. Guests will walk beneath this towering structure as they enter the park, with each of Epic Universe’s five themed lands represented on the tower itself. As the hub of Epic Universe, Celestial Park is not just an entryway—it’s a lush, immersive world of its own, filled with fountains, gardens, and cosmic-inspired architecture that set the stage for the adventures that await. Here guests will encounter Stardust Racers, a dueling coaster that many guests are relaying goes toe-to-toe with VelociCoaster!
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic
Next, we step into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic, where we get our first official look at Wizarding Paris! The highlight here is Le Cirque Arcanus™, a magical spectacle where guests will encounter incredible beasts through live performers, puppetry, and cutting-edge special effects. Fans of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will recognize the legendary traveling wizarding circus, now brought to life in a jaw-dropping immersive experience.
Dark Universe – Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment
From there, we dive into the eerie and foreboding world of Dark Universe, where Frankenstein Manor looms over the landscape. This sinister estate is home to Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, an attraction that puts guests right in the middle of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein’s latest experiments. Things go terribly wrong when Dracula leads an uprising of classic Universal Monsters including The Wolf Man, The Mummy, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Early Team Member previews have been overwhelmingly positive, with many calling it one of Universal’s best dark rides ever—and we can’t wait to see it in action ourselves!
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
The next image takes us to the breathtaking world of How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk. Towering entrance statues stand proudly, welcoming guests into a land that is a near-perfect recreation of the village from the films. The shot also captures boats resting in front of the mountain backdrop, making it feel like you’ve stepped straight into the Viking world of Hiccup and Toothless. The attention to detail is astounding, and it looks like this land will be an instant fan favorite.
Super Nintendo World – Yoshi’s Adventure
Finally, we get a bright and colorful look at Super Nintendo World, where the entrance to Yoshi’s Adventure sits at the base of Mount Beanpole. The area is bursting with classic Mario elements, including floating Prize Blocks, Thwomps, and lush green hills straight out of the Mushroom Kingdom. Fans who have visited Super Nintendo World in Japan or Hollywood will recognize familiar elements, but this version of the land promises to be bigger and more immersive than ever.
Counting Down to Opening Day
These newly released images are a thrilling preview of what’s to come, and with only two months left, anticipation for Epic Universe’s grand opening is at an all-time high. From magical encounters in Wizarding Paris to monster mayhem in Dark Universe, high-flying Viking adventures in Berk, and iconic Nintendo action, Epic Universe is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious and immersive theme parks ever built.
