3. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter expansion will feature Place Cachée in Paris and the London Ministry of Magic

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is getting its third Orlando expansion at Universal Epic Universe and it looks like park-goers will be able to see some of the sights of Paris when they enter as Twitter user Bioreconstruct has noted the construction of a copy of the Porte Saint-Denis arch in the land in recent construction photos. This likely means that the land will be based on Place Cachée, as seen in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. 

The land will also feature an attraction that transports guests to the Ministry of Magic (which is located in London) via Floo powder. Rumors indicate the attraction will be based on the flagship Harry Potter series (and not the Fantastic Beasts spinoff) and will take guests inside the sentencing of the evil Delores Umbridge at the Ministry of Magic. Reportedly, actor Imelda Staunton has signed on to reprise her role for the ride. 

Not much else is known about the upcoming ride except that it features a huge show building (the biggest in the entire theme park) and is rumored to be a dark ride that will use a system similar to that of The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure. 

In addition to the main ride, this land will also have a live-action show inside a theater, and more wand interactivity. Originally, a VR-based ride that would have taken place at the France Ministry of Magic was also supposed to be built in this land, and though the front of the ride show building is still being constructed, the ride itself has been canceled. The space behind the facade will instead be used as an expansion pad for later attractions. 

4. A reservation system similar to Walt Disney World's could be used to manage early demand for the park

When it opens in 2025, Universal's Epic Universe will be the most ambitious Universal theme park in the world, with new attractions that harness the most cutting-edge technology to deliver experiences that will be unlike anything we've seen before. And with that designation, will surely come huge crowd levels. 

In an effort to manage potential throngs of guests, Universal Orlando Resort is said to be considering an online reservation system, similar to that in use at Walt Disney World. The resort sent out an online survey that gauged how respondents felt about their neighbor's heavily-criticized reservation system, which could indicate one way the resort could manage demand during the new park's opening period. 

While a reservation system probably wouldn't be used long-term, if guest demand during the first few months of operation is overwhelming, it may be Universal's best option to preserve the guest experience during the park's early days. 

Though we already know a lot about what to expect from this new land, Universal will likely continue to make changes in the months to come and may even surprise us down the line with something that we were not expecting! Which part of Universal's Epic Universe are you looking forward to the most? And do you have any predictions about the future of this upcoming theme park?
