The Lands Of Epic Universe

Epic Universe has 5 intricately themed lands including Celestial Park, a lush multi-levelled garden landscape with interconnecting water features.

 

Dark Universe

Welcome to Darkmoor, the fictional home of Dr Victoria Frankenstein. A village ravaged by the wrath of unearthly creatures, a shadowy village where the unknown lurks around every imposing corner.

Ministry Of Magic

Epic Universe'sWizarding World is the first to transport us to 1920's Paris and the fictional location of Place Cachee from the Fantastic Beasts movie series.

Celestial Park

The central hub of Epic Universe aims to put the "park" back in theme park with lush multi-levelled landscaping complete with interlocking water features. Colourful portals with icons of the land they represent lead into fantastical worlds on either side.

Isle Of Berk

Step into the heart of the Isle Of Berk from How To Train Your Dragon. Epic Universe's largest land by area is filled with welcoming characters and dragons. Look for dragons everywhere, even high in the sky!

Super Nintendo World

The largest Super Nintendo World to date including a sub land dedicated to Donkey Kong with the world's first Boom Coaster.

Celestial Park

Putting the park back in theme park

The central hub of Epic Universe, designed by some of the same creative minds that brought us Port Of Entry at Islands Of Adventure, aims to put the park back in to theme park by combining nostalgia with a futuristic flair based on “World Fair designs and a larger 1850s to 1930s aesthetic.”

40 hours of music split into 16 background musical zones aim to make Celestial Park a "series of sensorily connected experiences". The landscaping and colour choices of each of Celestial Park's gardens reflect the portal you are walking toward. The portals themselves will continue blending Celestial Park's energy using curved LED screens creating "gorgeous nebulas" representing the world's you are walking into.

Super Nintendo World

The largest Nintendo Land to date

The largest of the 3 current Super Nintendo Worlds, Epic Universe has already been split into 2 zones. The entrance portal opens up into Super Mario Land. Tucked away on the right-hand side a warp pipe transports you to Donkey Kong Country.

The multi-level Super Mario Land is a colourful explosion for your eyes. Dotted throughout both areas, interactive elements react to power up bands available to purchase separately. The bands link up with the Universal App so you can track your scores and rank plus collect digital coins and stamps.
