US EditionUniversal opens $7bn Epic Universe theme park to rival Disney World in Florida
- Universal Orlando Resort opened its $7 billion Epic Universe theme park today at 9 a.m. in Orlando, Florida, on a 750-acre site.
- Announced in 2019, Epic Universe is Comcast’s biggest theme park investment in over two decades and marks the most significant development in Central Florida’s theme park industry during that time.
- The new theme park includes five distinct areas inspired by NBCUniversal’s movie and game franchises, and benefits from a recently completed $285 million extension of Kirkman Road to improve access and reduce traffic congestion for visitors.
- Theme park expert Seth Kubersky highlighted that rerouting the buses away from the primary road has improved the experience for visitors, while Orange County Commissioner Mayra Uribe stressed the importance of maintaining efficient local transportation.
- Epic Universe is expected to attract millions of visitors, enhance Universal's global revenue opportunities, and mark a milestone in Orlando's tourism infrastructure growth.
