“It’s alive! It’s alive!”
That quote from the 1931 film adaptation of Frankenstein ushered in an era of classic monster films for the production company Universal Pictures. Now, almost 100 years later, it is helping Universal herald a new era of theme parks in the US state of Florida.
Opening on May 22, Universal Epic Universe is the third theme park at the Universal Orlando Resort – fourth if you count Universal Volcano Bay water park – and the first major traditional park to open in the state since 1999’s Universal Islands of Adventure.
Located about 5 miles (8km) southeast of the existing Universal resort, the new complex includes Epic Universe, as well as three hotels. There is plenty of expansion space for future additions.
In a media preview, five of Epic Universe’s fantastic worlds – Celestial Park, Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic and How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk – were open recently for exploration.
So, what can you expect to experience when the park officially opens? Here is an inside look.
