Universal's Epic Universe is a theme park that has been built with every member of your party in mind.

Want to ride a thrilling coaster? Then Stardust Racers is for you. Prefer a coaster that is more immersive and has less scares? Head over to Hiccup's Wing Gliders in Isle of Berk. Thrills are not your thing at all? Yoshi's Adventure in Super Nintendo takes in the views at a gentle pace.

The attractions in Epic Universe are a range of simulator rides, thrill coasters and relaxing experiences. Get you and your party soaked on the Fyre Drill ride or go head to head on Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge. 

It's also clear the love and attention that Universal have put into each and every ride. Fans of Islands of Adventure's now extinct Duelling Dragon ride will appreciate the nod to red and blue dragons in Isle of Berk's Dragon Rally Racers. Over at the Curse of the Werewolf spinning coaster in Dark Universe if you look closely you may see a reference to 1981's An American Werewolf in London. There's even a Flux Capacitor on the back of the Stardust Racers trains!

There's something for everyone at Epic Universe no matter how scary you want your thrills.
