The biggest thing coming to Universal's US parks is Epic Universe, a whole brand new park coming to Universal Orlando Resort in 2025.

Epic Universe will be situated just across the road from the resort's current two theme parks and will bring lots of new attractions, restaurants and fun experiences.

Though Universal have been tight-lipped on what will be coming to the park, they have confirmed that this will be where its east coast Super Nintendo World will reside. This land will be the home of both Mario and Donkey Kong.

With construction on the site moving along at an rapid pace, a huge "dueling" coaster can be seen towering across the skyline.

Rumours as to what will feature in the park have been circulating since the announcement of Epic Universe with the Wizarding World, Universal Monsters and How to Train Your Dragon being prominent features among many people's predictions.

The huge park will bring with it new hotels for guest to be closer to the fun. With a hotel overlooking the park expected to be part of the new infrastructure.

As the Epic Universe is located in place that would not allow for guests to walk from Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal Studio's Florida, it is likely that the resort will provide bus transportation to the new park, as well as a separate car park.

Roll on 2025 as it's sure going to be EPIC!
