The next Universal Orlando Resort theme park, Epic Universe, is on track to open by the summer of 2025. A lot of details on this brand new theme park are still unannounced, but there’s a lot happening around the construction site. Aerial photographer bioreconstruct has been providing construction updates on Twitter and we’ve collected the latest round of photos to share with you.

Some of the columns have already been connected with walls. To the right in the photo above are two domes, part of a larger structure.

The photo above labels approximately where elements of the entrance will be.
- Admission sales
- Security and admission
- Oval entrance courtyard
- Signature gateway
Crews are preparing to pour concrete for a building near the admission sales locations.

A building on the west side of the entrance is partially constructed. Some of it is still a steel framework in need of walls and roofing.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 6 epic universe july 2023 construction 5 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-5-1-1200x675.jpeg)
The central corridor of Epic Universe will have several water features and circular structures.
- Service access to waterside restaurant kitchen
- Entrance to the restaurant above the kitchen
- Curved walkway between two water features
- Water feature excavation
- Park gateway
Central Hub (“Celestial Park”)
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 7 epic universe july 2023 construction 6 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-6-1-1200x673.jpeg)
The park will also have celestial theming. This photo shows more of the central corridor and “Celestial Park.”
- Park gateway
- Water feature adjacent to the restaurant
- Walkways between water features
- Walkways between water features
- Dual-racing coaster
- Entrance to How to Train Your Dragon land
The dual-racing coaster has two tracks: yellow and orange. They cross over and under each other in an offshoot of the park’s center. Though Universal’s Islands of Adventure once had Dueling Dragons, a dragon-themed dual-racing coaster, this new coaster is not part of the How to Train Your Dragon section of the park.
In the photo above, bio points out theming work underway by the coaster, plus a small dome recently constructed next to a larger dome — rumored to be a water-based carousel.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 8 epic universe july 2023 construction 7 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-7-1.jpeg)
Here’s a closer look at the new elements at the front of the dual-racing coaster. Three curved beams of steal stretch from the roof of the building to a support on the ground. A construction worker sits atop the support.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 9 epic universe july 2023 construction 8 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-8-1-1200x673.jpeg)
Work has begun on installing a roof over the coaster’s launch building. A curved frame is now over the loading area, but paneling hasn’t been installed.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 10 epic universe july 2023 construction 9 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-9-1.jpeg)
Trees have been planted around the curves of the coaster at the edge of the park.
Nearby, a boom crane is hoisting two brown towers into place. These are part of the How to Train Your Dragon land, for an aerial spinning ride.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 11 epic universe july 2023 construction 10 2](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-10-2-1200x675.jpeg)
In the photo above:

The dual-racing coaster will be between the How to Train Your Dragon land and the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter area — neither land has been announced, though the visible theming all but confirms them.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 13 epic universe july 2023 construction 13](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-13-1200x675.jpeg)
Here’s another look at the rumored carousel. There is one large dome and one smaller dome. As crews finish installing the smaller dome’s frame, temporary supports are still being used.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 14 epic universe july 2023 construction 14](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-14-1200x673.jpeg)
The flat sections of concrete next to the domes are the beginnings of the water feature’s floor.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 15 epic universe july 2023 construction 15](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-15.jpeg)
Earlier this year, Universal patented a type of carousel and trademarked the name Constellation Carousel. We don’t know for certain if the patented system or name will be used for this attraction, though.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 16 epic universe july 2023 construction 16](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-16-1200x673.jpeg)
This photo shows the circular features of the central corridor. From bottom to top: a restaurant, the carousel, and a fountain.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 17 epic universe july 2023 construction 17](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-17.jpeg)
Tiered concrete benches have been installed around the circular fountain for show viewing.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 18 epic universe july 2023 construction 18](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-18.jpeg)
The fountain is in front of the in-park hotel, which will have its own dedicated entrance to Epic Universe.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 19 epic universe july 2023 construction 19](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-19.jpeg)
The circular waterside restaurant isn’t the only dining location — a BBQ restaurant is also planned. Arrows in the above photo point at the restaurant’s chimneys.
Near the entrance to the park, crews are excavating an area between two buildings. Number 3 in bio’s top photo is at a potential VIP room.
The bottom photo looks at more excavation and future water features near the front of the park, and the waterside restaurant.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 20 epic universe july 2023 construction 20](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-20-1200x675.jpeg)
A closer look at the restaurant shows tiers of seating going down from the entrance.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 21 epic universe july 2023 construction 21](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-21-1200x673.jpeg)
Meanwhile, behind the in-park hotel is one water feature already filled with water. A peninsula — already covered in grass — sticks into the center of this lake, presumably as a fireworks launch area.
Epic Universe In-Park Hotel
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 22 epic universe july 2023 construction 22](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-22-1200x673.jpeg)
Speaking of the Epic Universe in-park hotel, it’s already a few stories tall now. The hotel is curved along the edge of the park at the far end from the main entrance.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 23 epic universe july 2023 construction 23](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-23-1200x673.jpeg)
Directly behind the hotel, in front of the lake, is a parking garage.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 24 epic universe july 2023 construction 24](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-24.jpeg)
Elements of the park line up with the center of the hotel for a cohesive look.
How to Train Your Dragon Land (‘Isle of Berk’)
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 25 epic universe july 2023 construction 25](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-25.jpeg)
The How to Train Your Dragon land is rumored to officially be named the “Isle of Berk.” At the entrance are two statues that also appear in the “How to Train Your Dragon” films — hence why we know this is definitely the theme of the land.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 26 epic universe july 2023 construction 26](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-26.jpeg)
There’s a Viking statue on the left and a dragon statue on the right, both painted blue and gold. Viking boats are behind them with rocks surrounding.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 27 epic universe july 2023 construction 27](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-27.jpeg)
Crew members are painting the boats.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 28 epic universe july 2023 construction 28](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-28-1200x675.jpeg)
They have dragon figureheads.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 29 epic universe july 2023 construction 29](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-29-1200x673.jpeg)
A wider shot of the land reveals the entrance portal at number 1 and a pole at the center of a bridge walkway at number 2. Numbers 3 and 4 are rockwork, while 5 is a smaller bridge.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 30 epic universe july 2023 construction 30](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-30-1200x673.jpeg)
The statues and boats will eventually be surrounded by water. In the films, the statues are a gateway for ships.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 31 epic universe july 2023 construction 31](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-31-1200x673.jpeg)
In this photo, we can see the How to Train Your Dragon coaster going beneath the entrance bridge and over the future lake.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 32 epic universe july 2023 construction 32](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-32-1200x675.jpeg)
This building near the land’s entrance has a steel tower atop it and three peaked grooves.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 33 epic universe july 2023 construction 33](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-33-1200x673.jpeg)

Under the scrim at number 3, another Viking ship is under construction.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 35 epic universe july 2023 construction 35](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-35-1200x673.jpeg)
Themed roofing has been installed at the station for the How to Train Your Dragon coaster. The planks appear misaligned and rough. There are two chimneys.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 36 epic universe july 2023 construction 36](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-36-1200x673.jpeg)
A restaurant in the land will be inspired by the Great Hall in the films. It’s at number 1 in the photo above. 2 is the roller coaster station and first launch, 3 is the coaster’s service bay, 4 is a service building, and 5 is a power and water plant.
Here are the spinning ride towers again. One is installed — at number 1 — while another is staged next to its concrete foundation — at number 2.
Number 4 is the loading platform for a boat ride.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 37 epic universe july 2023 construction 37](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-37.jpeg)
The large building is a theater for a show likely similar to one that already exists at Universal Studios Beijing called “Untrainable.”
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 38 epic universe july 2023 construction 38](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-38.jpeg)
Roofing has been installed over the theater seating inside.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 39 epic universe july 2023 construction 39](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-39-1200x675.jpeg)
The boat ride will move through a section of the bay beyond a bridge.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 40 epic universe july 2023 construction 40](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-40-1200x673.jpeg)
The second launch of the How to Train Your Dragon coaster is in the center of this photo.
Samples of rocky theming are highlighted in this picture.
Additional Hotels
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 41 epic universe july 2023 construction 41](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-41-1200x675.jpeg)
Offsite are two more hotels. One building seems complete.
The oval shape of a pool is already visible.
A road runs between the two hotels.
- Medians ready for the intersection of Universal Blvd and Kirkman Rd
- Future site of a full-circle raised ramp
- Resort access road
- Resort access road
Super Nintendo World
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 42 epic universe july 2023 construction 42](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-42-1200x673.jpeg)
Back in the park, the only land that has been announced is Super Nintendo World. The land already exists at Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood. The Florida version will open with both attractions from Japan, as well as the Donkey Kong expansion (which is also under construction in Japan).
Guests enter through Peach’s Castle, and paving of the walkway past the castle is already complete.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 43 epic universe july 2023 construction 43](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-43.jpeg)
A grand staircase descends from the courtyard in front of Peach’s Castle. Unlike at Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood, guests will enter the land from the top via an escalator, instead of from the bottom.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 44 epic universe july 2023 construction 44](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-44-1200x673.jpeg)
The yellow-orange track in these photos is for Yoshi’s Adventure, an omnimover ride. The arrow points at the entrance to the other attraction — Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge (Koopa’s Challenge in Japan).
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 45 epic universe july 2023 construction 45](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-45-1200x673.jpeg)

The tallest point of Super Nintendo World is Mount Beanpole. We can see the steel beginnings of it in the photo above.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 48 epic universe july 2023 construction 48](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-48-1200x673.jpeg)
Super Nintendo World is near the entrance to the park.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 49 epic universe july 2023 construction 49](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-49-1200x673.jpeg)
A building directly outside of the land is believed to be a Nintendo-themed cafe and store.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 50 epic universe july 2023 construction 50](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-50-1200x675.jpeg)
Mushroom Kingdom is at the front of the land, while the Donkey Kong section is at the back. Here is the Donkey Kong roller-coaster. It uses a sideways track running alongside fake tracks, which will be used to make it look like cars are hopping.
A ride envelope, used to test clearance, is already being used. It’s visible at number 2 in this photo. Like much of Epic Universe, water will flow around this coaster.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 51 epic universe july 2023 construction 52](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-52-1200x673.jpeg)

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Paris
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 53 epic universe july 2023 construction 54](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-54.jpeg)
Florida’s third The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be inspired by the Paris version of Diagon Alley seen in “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” — Place Cachée.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 54 epic universe july 2023 construction 55](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-55.jpeg)
The land has some of the tallest structures, with façades mostly blocked by scaffolding.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 55 epic universe july 2023 construction 56](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-56.jpeg)
Different types of roofing are visible at the edges of the buildings.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 56 epic universe july 2023 construction 57](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-57.jpeg)
Fake windows line the buildings. A courtyard is through one building to the right.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 57 epic universe july 2023 construction 58](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-58.jpeg)
1 is at the opening into the courtyard (2). 3 is at a backdrop street under construction.
The land has thin streets and, like the other Wizarding Worlds, will use perspective to make it seem as if there are even more buildings to behold.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 58 epic universe july 2023 construction 59](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-59.jpeg)
More confirmation that this land is definitely Paris: at number 1 is a recreation of Porte Saint-Denis, a real-life monument.
Also in this photo:
2. Courtyard
3. Backdrop street
4. A tower that is the beginning of a recreation of the Basilica of Sacré Coeur de Montmartre

The show building will contain two attractions. One is a show, while the other will transport guests from Paris to the London Ministry of Magic.

Dark Universe (Universal Monsters)
The last land rumored for Epic Universe is “Dark Universe,” inspired by Universal Monsters.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 61 epic universe july 2023 construction 62](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-62.jpeg)
The entrance portal to Dark Universe resembles a giant tree with rocks around it.
Guests will purportedly walk through an old village to a mansion.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 62 epic universe july 2023 construction 63](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-63-1200x675.jpeg)
A barn-like structure has dark brown wood walls and a light blue roof. It’s the launch area of a roller coaster, believed to be a spinning coaster.
Dark Universe will also have a restaurant. Stone walls have been installed on the outside of it.
The main attraction, within the mansion, will reportedly be a robotic arm ride like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Pinch rail track is staged in the nearby Team Member parking lot.
![PHOTOS: Epic Universe Construction Adds Themed Elements in How to Train Your Dragon, Classic Monsters Lands 63 epic universe july 2023 construction 64](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/07/epic-universe-july-2023-construction-64.jpeg)
The mansion is covered in scaffolding, but the distinct shape is showing through.
