Earlier this year Universal Orlando Resort confirmed that its newest theme park will be Universal’s Epic Universe. Universal describes this new park as one that will introduce an “entirely new level of experience that forever changes theme park entertainment”.
“Our new park represents the single-largest investment Comcast NBCUniversal has made in its theme park business and in Florida overall,” said Brian L. Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast Corporation. “It reflects the tremendous excitement we have for the future of our theme park business and for our entire company’s future in Florida.”

Though no IPs or attractions have been confirmed, we can see from the concept art above that this park will have dueling roller coasters, multiple indoor rides, and what looks like an outdoor performance stage. And while we originally thought that Super Nintendo World would be heading to Universal Studios Florida, rumors now indicate that this new land will actually be housed in this new theme park. This development was seemingly confirmed when Chairman and CEO of Universal Parks & Resorts Tom Williams said on a recent earnings call that there was nothing to share about the stateside version of Super Nintendo World right now, and he will not be able a timeframe for opening any time soon, which would make sense if this new land is heading to universal's Epic Universe, which also doesn't have an official opening timeframe.
4. Unnamed hotels and shopping district (TBA )

Universal’s Epic Universe will be located on a 750-acre site south of Sand Lake Road and east of Universal Boulevard, and though the centerpiece of this new site will of course be the theme park, Universal has announced that Universal's Epic Universe will be part of a larger complex, complete with entertainment district, restaurants, hotels and shops (similar to the existing CityWalk area).With this new addition, Universal Orlando Resort will double its current size,even though the location is several miles away from the current Universal Orlando Resort theme park complex.
