It's the first major, traditional theme park to open in Florida since 1999, when Universal Islands of Adventure debuted, though Universal opened a themed Orlando water park, Volcano Bay, in 2017. The addition of Epic Universe brings the total number of parks at the Florida resort to four, including Universal Studios.

Universal's Epic Universe, opening May 22, 2025, features five themed worlds connected through Celestial Park, with attractions, dining, and shops, offering an immersive experience.
