Axis Travel Group, the premier travel agency specializing in Universal Studios vacations, is thrilled to share an official first look inside Universal Epic Universe, the groundbreaking fourth theme park set to open at Universal Orlando Resort on May 22, 2025. With vacation packages now available for booking, travelers can secure their spot to experience this revolutionary park alongside Universal’s three existing Orlando attractions—and even combine it with a Disney getaway this summer.
Epic Universe: A New Era of Theme Park Innovation
Universal Epic Universe promises an unprecedented level of immersion, inviting guests to step into five meticulously crafted worlds: Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. From soaring on dragon wings to battling monsters alongside classic Universal characters, the park’s cutting-edge rides, dining, and entertainment are poised to redefine theme park adventures.
“This is a game-changer for Orlando,” said Natali Bohm, owner of Axis Travel Group. “Epic Universe isn’t just a new park—it’s a portal to entirely new stories. And with its proximity to Disney, families can now easily blend the magic of both resorts into one unforgettable summer trip.”
New Photos Showcase Epic Universe’s Unmatched Detail & Adventure
The newly released images highlight the extraordinary scale and creativity of Epic Universe’s worlds, from celestial gardens to monster-filled villages. Here’s a closer look at what travelers can expect (Click on the photos to enlarge):
1. Celestial Park: A Gateway to the Stars
The first official photo reveals the awe-inspiring Chronos – the towering portal that marks the entrance to Celestial Park. Bathed in golden light, the structure features intricate astronomical carvings and a comet-like coaster soaring overhead. Guests can glimpse lush gardens dotted with shimmering fountains, starlit pathways, and the park’s signature roller coaster, Starfall Racers, where twin tracks spiral through a celestial map of constellations. A nighttime shot shows the park aglow with thousands of twinkling lights, while a daytime image highlights al fresco dining at The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant, where guests can savor dishes under a canopy of cherry blossoms.
Why Book Now? Axis Travel Group’s packages include Early Park Admission to Celestial Park, letting guests beat the crowds and snap photos of Chronos at sunrise.
2. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic: 1920s Paris Comes to Life
A dramatic new photo transports viewers to Place Cachée, a hidden wizarding square in 1920s Paris. Cobblestone streets are lined with ornate wrought-iron balconies, glowing lanterns, and shops like Mademoiselle L’Elegance’s Hat Emporium. Another image captures the grandeur of Le Cirque Arcanus, a circus-style theater where acrobats soar above guests. The highlight? A thrilling snapshot of “Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry”, showing riders dueling Death Eaters in a chaotic courtroom filled with spellbinding special effects.
Why Add This to Your Disney Trip? Universal’s Parisian wizardry is just a 20-minute drive from Disney’s magic. Axis can arrange seamless transfers between resorts, so families don’t miss a moment.
3. SUPER NINTENDO WORLD: Step Into the Mushroom Kingdom
Vibrant new photos confirm this is Universal’s most interactive land yet. One image shows guests wearing Power-Up Bands punching “?” blocks to collect digital coins, while another reveals Mt. Beanpole – a towering green mountain where Mario Kart-style attractions twist through familiar landscapes. A family is pictured racing through Yoshi’s Adventure, riding past Piranha Plants and Cheep Cheeps. The most playful snapshot? A life-sized Bowser’s Castle, complete with lava effects and menacing statues.

4. How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk: Soar Like a Viking
The newly released images of Isle of Berk are nothing short of cinematic. One wide-angle shot showcases the land’s 40-foot Viking statues guarding a sparkling lagoon, with Hiccup’s Wing Gliders coasting above turquoise waters. Another photo captures the lively Hooligan Village, where guests can meet Toothless or feast on smoked turkey legs at The Mead Hall. A thrilling action shot reveals the Fyre Drill water ride, where riders dodge flames and splashdowns in a competitive Viking training exercise.
Perfect for Disney Fans: Add 1-2 days at Universal to your Disney trip for a “best of both worlds” summer 2025 adventure.
5. Dark Universe: Enter the Realm of Monsters
The most haunting images yet come from Dark Universe, where fog-shrouded streets lead to Frankenstein Manor. A chilling photo reveals the manor’s crumbling façade, lit by flickering lanterns, while another teases Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment – a ride photo shows guests fleeing a horde of glowing-eyed creatures in the catacombs. Shops like Dr. Oddfellow’s Twisted Antiquities brim with eerie curios, and a nighttime image highlights the land’s eerie ambiance, with lightning crackling above the village.
