Epic Universe is Universal Studios❜ Epic New Theme Park

Like a mother's love, our love for theme parks knows no bounds, so when we caught wind of Epic Universe, the epic new theme park opening in Orlando, Florida, we were tempted to book our flights right then and there, and we bet you will too!

Aptly named Epic Universe, Universal Studio's new theme park is going to be epic to say the least. According to Universal Parks and Resorts, Epic Universe will be "the most immersive and innovative theme park we have ever created." Squeee!
