Here is the update from April 19. In these first two aerial photos you can see a clear overview of Epic Universe and new additions such as arrival of the frame for the dome in the center of the park and the completed track for the rumored How to Train Your Dragon roller coaster. 

Here is an overview and then a closer up aerial photo of the rumored Classic Monsters land in Epic Universe which is being referred to as Dark Universe.

This is a look at Super Nintendo World as it currently stands.

Here is the progress being made on the Donkey Kong roller coaster.

There appears to be a lot of work being done on the Kirkman Rd extension and the access road for the in-park hotel. In this photo we get to see Epic Universe in context to the park entrance, day guest parking on Epic Blvd and the position of the rumored How To Train Your Dragon land and Super Nintendo World with the Donkey Kong rollercoaster.

In this photo you can see where the two new Universal hotels are located. This can be tallied up with the previous photo and you can see Epic Universe positioned top right.

Here is a closer up aerial photo of the new Universal hotel which is located South of the park as well as guest parking and dedicated bus lanes.

And finally here is a photo of the center of Epic Universe where there looks to be a domed attraction.

These photos are from the previous update back on March 17. In the first, you can clearly see the in-park hotel with the circular fountain basin. Paving of the access road has begun and it is expected that there will be a nighttime show with lighting, projections on the hotel and fireworks.

Heading to the rumored Wizarding World area and you can see a frame which is assumed to be a copy of Porte Saint-Denis and a recently added steel frame.

This aerial photo shows the rumored Wizarding World land at Epic Universe as well as the dual-racing roller coaster and in-park hotel. It also shows areas that could be used for future expansions to Epic Universe.

Below is a clearer photo of the fountain basin and a water based attraction. There are also some interesting pipes currently being buried.

Finally we see a collection of aerial images of the confirmed Super Nintendo World including the Donkey Kong roller coaster, Mount Beanpole, Toad's Cafe, Peach's castle and Yoshi's Adventure. 

We now know that Epic Universe will now be known as Universal Epic Universe rather than Universal's. You can see the updated logo below.

We will continue to update you with all the construction progress at Universal Epic Universe over the coming months. So you can see the developments here are the updates from the beginning of March...

I’m not sure if it’s too late to reconsider but for Universal’s Epic Universe in the DreamWorks area could you go back to the other option and make it look more like Fantasyland at Disney. This way it would be better because it should have more than one land from previous DreamWorks animated franchises. For Instance you should leave room too great a Madagascar land and make it just like the one in Singapore which sadly is being changed to Minions land and that’s stupid because Despicable Me is pretty common cat every Universal Studios around the world. However, Madagascar land isn’t common that land was pretty unique and while your at also make room for a Kung Fu Panda land even though there’s one at the Universal Studios in Beijing it would still be a good idea because that land will be pretty much unique also if it gets changed in the future. My point being is if you’re going to have a DreamWorks themed land don’t just let it be How to Train Your Dragon there add these two lands too it as well. If you can’t reconsider then just add these two lands separately too the park.
