Universal Orlando Gears Up for Grand Launch of Epic Universe Theme Park This May

Excitement is building as Universal Orlando Resort gears up to unveil its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe, officially opening its gates on May 22. The much-anticipated addition promises an array of thrilling upgrades and immersive adventures for theme park lovers planning their next getaway.

Guests who secure admission to Universal Epic Universe can elevate their experience with the Universal Express Pass, which allows them to skip standard lines at select attractions. With this perk, visitors can dive straight into adrenaline-pumping experiences like Stardust Racers, encounter cinematic horror in Dark Universe: Monsters Unchained, explore wizardry in Ministry of Magic: Le Cirque Arcanus, and enjoy a host of other exhilarating rides—without the wait.

Visitors have the option to enhance their adventure by purchasing a 1-Day Universal Express Pass or opting for a multi-day version, both of which grant the ability to skip regular lines at Epic Universe, Islands of Adventure, and Universal Studios Florida, making for a faster and more seamless park experience.

Those seeking a premium experience at the park can opt for exclusive VIP tours, offering front-of-line access to top attractions, live shows, and more. Guests can choose between a 1-Park, 1-Day VIP Experience or go all out with the 3-Park, 2-Day VIP Experience for a fully immersive adventure across Universal’s top destinations.

Monster lovers won’t want to miss the Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience, where fans can be transformed into legendary creatures like Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, or The Wolf Man. A face makeup session is priced at $45 plus tax, while the full Transformation Ticket, complete with themed accessories, is available for $169 per adult and $109 per child.
