Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of being among the first to experience Universal Orlando’s newest theme park: Epic Universe! I spent two full days exploring every “epic” corner, soaking it all in, and gathering plenty of tips, tricks, and insider insights to share with my clients.
At the heart of Epic Universe lies Celestial Park—a lush, vibrant oasis that serves as the cosmic hub of the park. With its tree-lined walkways, dancing fountains, and serene greenery, Celestial Park feels like a world between worlds. From here, you’ll find sparkling portals that transport you to incredible lands, including Super Nintendo World, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, Dark Universe, and How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk.
Attractions in Celestial Park
One of the park’s headliners, Stardust Racers, quickly became a favorite of ours. This dual-launch coaster blasts you through the constellations at literally breathtaking speeds! If you’re a fan of VelociCoaster, I’d say this one is right up there on the thrill scale—fast, exhilarating, and absolutely unforgettable.
Prefer something a little more laid-back? Hop aboard the Constellation Carousel, where mythical creatures glide gracefully beneath a glowing canopy of stars. It’s pure celestial charm and perfect for all ages.
And be sure to keep an eye out for the street performers sprinkled throughout this dazzling land. They’re some of the most unique and enchanting I’ve seen in any theme park. We had the sweetest moment when a performer wrote us a personalized friendship poem—truly a magical little memory!
