Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

[Tonkso]

A permit has been filed for the construction of a building of 150,000 square feet in area at Epic Universe: https://behindthethrills.com/2025/1..._n3AMB3xKvIRH64AmA_aem_I_kRr7DXBGo4XlHtw4nYLg

It is strongly suspected that this is for a major new attraction, with the size of the building being similar to that for Battle at the Ministry, and it also lines up suspiciously well with an empty area behind an unoccupied facade, with what looks like an empty entrance put into it, in the Harry Potter area, so rumours are pointing to it being a second attraction installation in that area.

It is exciting that Epic Universe is seemingly being expanded so soon after its opening, and another Harry Potter ride should be interesting if that rumour is true! I wonder what they could do?

That's the location of the cancelled ride, so the space exists. With the popularity of ministry, it would be a mistake not to leverage that. However, there IS room there to stick another portal and land in, between Wizarding and Stardust.

I loved my two visits to the park (even if the second was during the Stardust shutdown), but it does need more rides, particularly filler. If anything, just to moderate the queues on Ministry* and Minecart.

There's a huge plot between Dark Universe and Nintendo for a whole land, and I believe a smaller one behind Mario Kart, probably better suited to a Nintendo expansion. There's a lot of room for them to play with.

*MInistry's queues are not as bad as they're made out to be, not even close. Minecart's are.
