JustinLovesGaga 883 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 https://twitter.com/UniversalORL/status/1156934664180961280 Universal Orlando Resort finally announced their 4th Orlando Park, called Epic Universe, Thursday, 08/01 Florida locals who are annual pass holders like myself, or just theme park enthusiasts in general, know that Universal has recently confirmed ownership status of land in Orlando, FL, near the two already established theme parks - Universal Studios FL and Islands of Adventure, and the water park, Volcano Bay. Universal has been working on the land for the last year or so, clearing the trees and leveling, etc. Construction plans submitted to the city have leaked, confirming this space will be used for a 4th park and hotel(s). As for the theme of this new park, concept art released today shows to be similar to Islands of Adventure - multiple different themed islands/'worlds' you can explore within the park, with rumored 'worlds' (labeled on concept art) including the following.... Super Nintendo World Mario Kart Ride Yoshi Family Ride (Similar to Disney's Spaceship Earth in EPCOT) Donkey Kong Roller Coaster Universal Classic Monsters World Dark coaster ride with simulations, similar to Escape From Gringotts at Universal Studios, that will feature most/all classic monsters Life size replica of Dracula's castle Jurassic World (Separate from Islands of Adventure's Jurassic Park) New Jurassic coaster is currently being constructed at Islands of Adventure, what can they put here? Third Harry Potter World (Probably something Fantastic Beasts related) Dreamworks Animation World Dueling launch coaster likely to be 'How To Train Your Dragon' themed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast and Furious and the new Kong ride severely frustrate me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
