The resort also opened a new attraction at its Islands of Adventure park—Jurassic World VelociCoaster—and brought back its popular Halloween event, Halloween Horror Nights.
Also, theres recent news on the development of Universal Orlando’s new Epic Universe theme park. Construction of the park was halted in April 2020 because of the pandemic, but resumed in March of this year. Before the construction delay, Universal initially planned for the park to open in 2023, however a new opening timeframe has been announced for Summer 2025.
