Universal Orlando releases first details about new Epic Universe park
Universal Orlando Resort has released new details about its highly anticipated new theme park, Universal Epic Universe, which will open in 2025.
The heart of the new park is Celestial Park which will be landscaped with lush gardens and shimmering waters.
Guests looking for thrills can hop on Starfall Racers, a dual-launch racing coaster that will reach speeds up to 62 mph and heights up to 133 feet along 5,000 feet of track.
"Starfall Racers will be Epic Universe's most thrilling coaster experience with unique maneuvers such as the "Celestial Spin," in which the two coaster vehicles perform an inverted crisscross while speeding through the air - creating an "out-of-this-world" adrenaline rush," according to the resort.
The grand centerpiece of Celestial Park will be the Constellation Carousel where riders will move forward and backward, and even turn 360 degrees, as travel through a "milky way in a choreographed dance of music and starlight."
Celestial Park will be the gateway to explore these lands, "each bringing to life extraordinary adventures that go beyond guests' wildest imaginations," per the Universal Orlando Press Release.
