Epic Universe 2025: A Dream Trip 6 Years in the Making

This June 2025, I’ll be stepping into a park I’ve been dreaming about for years — Epic Universe at Universal Orlando. As a lifelong theme park fan, this trip is shaping up to be a true game-changer, not just for me, but for every fan of immersive, next-level experiences.

For starters, my love for the Universal Monsters runs deep. Thanks to shows like Svengoolie, I grew up appreciating these iconic characters — Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf Man — and now seeing them come to life in an entire themed land is beyond exciting. Walking through Dark Universe is going to feel like stepping into cinematic history.

Then there’s How to Train Your Dragon. Ever since I first watched it back in 2010, it’s been one of my favorite animated films. The world of Berk is so rich and vibrant, and knowing I’ll get to fly with dragons (and maybe meet Toothless?) is a dream come true!

Of course, no visit would be complete without diving into the Wizarding World’s Fantastic Beasts. While Harry Potter introduced us to magic, Fantastic Beasts opened up a new layer of adventure, and I can’t wait to see how Universal brings this to life with their upcoming Ministry of Magic area.

And let’s not forget Nintendo. From the original NES to the latest Switch, Nintendo has been a constant in my gaming life. Having the chance to walk through Super Nintendo World — seeing Mario, Bowser, and friends in real life — is going to be pure nostalgia and fun combined.

Epic Universe feels like it was built for fans like me. With groundbreaking attractions, incredible food, and immersive lands, I believe this park will redefine what a theme park experience can be.
