The original plan

Though the future of Universal's Epic Universe is in flux, if this project is not cancelled or slimmed Universal’s Epic Universe will be the single biggest investment Comcast NBCUniversal has made in its theme park business and in Florida overall. The currently empty land parcel located on a 750-acre site south of Sand Lake Road and east of Universal Boulevard.

The new park 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 would double its current size, even though the location is several miles away from the current Universal Orlando Resort theme park complex. 

Other than Nintendo Land, no specific lands or IPs have been confirmed for this new expansion, but rumors have indicated that Universal Monsters as well as several characters from the DreamWorks library could be a part of Universal's Epic Universe. Here's hoping Universal is able to pick this project back up and we'll get updated information about the expansion in the near future

As always, while this situation is evolving, all theme park fans should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.
