Epic Universe will introduce five breathtakingly immersive worlds.
Enter the iconic green pipe and find yourself in the vibrant world of SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, home to fan-favorites like Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country.
From the high-speed action of Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, quirky quests of Yoshi’s Adventure, and the pulse-pounding Mine-Cart Madness, the fun here is limitless.
Plus, your Power-Up Band adds an extra layer of excitement with interactive features throughout the park.
As you pass through the Emerald Gate and beneath the majestic Chronos device — the heart of the park’s power — you’ll enter Celestial Park, a mystical space between worlds and the gateway to the other four realms.
By day, you can stroll through vibrant gardens and marvel at stunning fountains. As night falls, the entire park transforms, bathed in shimmering lights.
Along with its beautifully themed eateries and shops, you’ll encounter two delightful attractions: the Stardust Racers and Constellation Carousel.
Step back in time and stroll through the magical streets of 1920s Paris, inspired by the Fantastic Beasts films, and journey into the magical world of the British Ministry of Magic from the 1990s.
Prepare for the extraordinary Le Cirque Arcanus live show and take on the intense Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry dark ride.
Don’t forget to master the art of spell-casting with interactive wand experiences at every corner.
Welcome to the Dark Universe, a place where darkness breeds both monsters and their creators.
Cross the crackling portal and enter Darkmoor, a cursed village where dangerous experiments run wild, and secrets are never truly buried.
Prepare to face the terror of Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment and Curse of the Werewolf, two thrilling attractions that honor the iconic Universal Monsters.
Venture into the world of How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, where dragons rule the skies and Vikings run wild.
From soaring with Hiccup’s Wing Gliders to racing in the Dragon Racer’s Rally, and testing your skills at Fyre Drill, the island is brimming with excitement.
Plus, experience the unforgettable The Untrainable Dragon show and meet Toothless and Hiccup in person.
