Epic Universe

“the chronos knows the way”

Universal's newest park is built like a wish: a celestial garden with a great astronomical gate at its heart, and four glowing portals that each open onto a different world.

Epic's big idea is the oldest one in the book: a hub and spokes — but the hub is a real garden park and the spokes are portals, so crossing between worlds feels like the ride.

Stardust Racers is the best night coaster in Florida right now, and Celestial Park after dark — fountains, lanterns, the Chronos lit — is worth the ticket on its own.

Every piece above is hand-drawn and animated — the Chronos turns, all four portals glow and flicker, the twin racers trade the lead, and the monster keeps rising off the table.
