The team behind Universal Epic Universe - set to open in Orlando - said that guests will enter 'the imaginative world' to 'embark on a journey of discovery, thrills and excitement'.
What are the five themed worlds?
The mythical themed 'Celestial Park' world is one of the five themed lands on the park.
"With acres of rolling gardens, chasing waterways and strolling pathways, Celestial Park puts the 'park' back in 'theme park'," the group said in a statement.
"As soon as guests enter the imaginative world, they’ll embark on a journey of discovery, thrills and excitement as they wander through lush living gardens nestled along shimmering waters surrounded by stunning architecture inspired by astronomical and mythological elements.
"Here, guests can relax while taking in the sights and sounds around them, board a shooting comet for an exhilarating roller coaster adventure, dine on delectable cuisine, shop exclusive merchandise to commemorate their visit and more."
From there guests can enter 'portals' to the other worlds: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, How To Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe.
The attractions
Some of the attractions will include Starfall Racers, a dual-launch racing rollercoaster that speeds up to 62 mph and reaches heights up to 133 feet.
Dubbed the grand centrepiece of the park is Constellation Carousel which glides forward, backwards and makes 360-degree rotations.
Not one for me that.
Astronomica will also be an interactive wet-play area that doubles as a giant compass rose, featuring crystal blue fountains that spring to life and dance around guests.
Universal Destinations and Experiences
The hotel
Let's not forget, alongside the worlds will be the mega Universal Helios Grand Hotel with 500 rooms, unreal views, and its own entrance to the park.
Commenting on the first look video, viewers were barely able to hold in their excitement, as one person wrote: "I am absolutely blown away by the level of heart they put into this. It’s gonna be EPIC!"
"The level of production. The incredible visuals. The returning director icon. I could help but tear up. God bless Universal Orlando!" a second added.
Meanwhile a third person said: "As an employee of Universal Studios Hollywood, I’m definitely planning my day at Epic Universe. Truly a park inspired by incredible movies. Old and new.
"You’ll need to give Universal credit for this amazing experience that at this moment would really shake things up with Disney."
Opening date
We can expect the park to open in the summer of 2025.
