10 Reasons Why Universal's New Epic Universe Theme Park Is The Best In The World

There are two words that are rarely seen together; "theme parks" and "relaxation." Yet right in the heart of the most immersive theme park ever created sits an oasis of calm.

The hub of Epic Universe is Celestial Park; providing a gateway not only into the park itself but also each of the four themed lands. Given that it's the first thing that greets guests, you might expect the land to pump you up for all the action you are about to encounter. Instead you will find yourself surrounded by greenery, Jules Verne inspired architecture and dancing water features.

The uplifting music that plays across Celestial Park feels designed to inspire you into adventure rather than fill you with adrenaline. These charming visuals and musical notes offers guests a palate cleansing moment between each land. A place to catch your breath as you cross from one immersive world to the next.

It is also the food and shopping district of the park. The stores are located towards the park's entrance, allowing you to stock up on souvenirs prior to leaving on an evening. Whilst Celestial Park's dining spots feature throughout the land, providing a place to grab something to eat no matter where you go.

Though Celestial Park offers a moment of chill in an otherwise energetic park, that doesn't mean it's not without its thrills. The utterly charming Constellation Carousel invites guests to hop onboard astronomy themed animals under a canopy of stars. The beautiful ride sees the animals dance to music that ranges from the ethereal to party inducing.

Despite its relaxing vibe, Celestial Park is home to the biggest thrill ride in the whole park, Stardust Racers. Yet the coaster's speedy comet themed trains don't ruin the serenity of the land. With the main bulk of the track leading away from the hub, taking with it the screams of those aboard.

Although Epic Universe is one of many "hub and spoke" theme parks across the world, there are few that allow guests to find a true moment of tranquillity in the way Celestial Park does.
