Universal Epic Universe is the theme park resort’s biggest bang yet in Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – From Harry Potter to Super Mario Bros. to Frankenstein, Universal Orlando Resort is pulling out all the pop culture stops at its newest theme park.

There are five separate worlds within Epic Universe.

The park is set to open in mid-May, just as the Orlando area’s theme parks become jammed with families. It’s the first major theme park to open in Florida since 1999, when Universal Islands of Adventure debuted, though Universal opened a themed water park called Volcano Bay in 2017.

Universal’s resort will now have four theme parks, challenging cross-town rival Walt Disney World for Orlando’s annual influx of 74 million tourists.
