The Magic of Interactive Wands
One of the most exciting reveals so far is the new interactive wands for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. These enchanting wands will be available for purchase at Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique in Place Cachée when Epic Universe opens.
Each wand is designed with incredible intricate details, unique textures, and eye-catching jewel-tone colors. But what makes these wands extra special is a sensor at the tip, enabling them to interact with spells via an infrared camera in the land. It’s going to be a magical experience for people of all ages!
Countdown to the Grand Opening
As we get closer to the grand opening, park operations will soon take over at Epic Universe, with a desired transition date of February 15, 2025. Although a specific date for previews hasn’t been revealed yet, Annual Passholders can look forward to a special soft opening. This has everyone on the edge of their seats!
A New Era in Theme Parks
Epic Universe is not just another park; it’s the first new theme park in Orlando in over 25 years! This much-anticipated addition will mark Universal’s fourth theme park, joining the ranks of Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal Volcano Bay. With over 50 attractions across the five themed lands, there will be endless excitement for everyone!
Ticketing and Access Information
For those eager to visit, a multi-day package is necessary for purchasing tickets due to current ticketing rules. An annual pass will not automatically give you access, but passholders can buy single-day tickets to explore this new magical world.
And let’s not forget about accommodations! The new Universal Helios Grand Hotel is set to open on May 22, 2025, right alongside Epic Universe, complete with a dedicated entrance into the park. Plus, with the Stella Nova Resort now open, there’s no shortage of options for where to stay.
