And because we keep being asked and keep coming back we’re all invited for even more monster fun at Universal’s Epic new world.
Universal Orlando will always hold a special place in my heart as my gateway to the great rollercoaster state that is Florida.
And we continue to catch up wherever we find ourselves in the world, which this week has meant my old stomping ground Dublin.
The word on everyone’s lips down Orlando just now is, of course, Epic Universe, the five-land new theme park, slated for 2025.
New worlds out there
Now we’ve dipped our toes into one of those universes, the Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood, already this summer.
And we can report that it is a pizza-loving, coin-spinning karting thrill.
So you should be coins in when you transport yourself through the green tunnel next year and also explore the other Epic lands.
Muggles are already counting down the days until Ministry of Magic is added to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter experiences.
Dragonheads, and of course there’s a natural crossover here, will be hotfooting it to the Isle of Berk and learn How to train your Dragon.
Frankenstein & family
Now those of us who grew up watching Dracula, Frankenstein and the Werewolf through our fingers will love Dark Universe.
There’s a new generation of monsters and characters now, including Dr. Victoria Frankenstein.
She’s the great-great-granddaughter of the infamous Henry Frankenstein.
And she has continued his misguided experiments.
Now guests will venture through Darkmoor – the ravaged village within Dark Universe – they’ll encounter her handiwork.
And even get made up to look like your favourite monsters.
Spin through the woods aboard a family coaster and enjoy the themed diners.
And Celestial Park is the verdant vista.
Of thrilling rides, entertainment, dining, shopping plus Universal Helios Grand Hotel,
Epic reveals
We could go on and will with Universal, a lead sponsor at our annual US Soiree travel assembly in Dublin.
And they have vowed to tell us first and fastest of all their Epic reveals.
What we know is what is always guaranteed that it will be Monster fun at Universal’s Epic new world.
And remember that the best way to travel through Ireland with pre-clearance.
