Universal Reveals Very Strict Admission Information for Epic Universe

Epic Universe will be the biggest theme park opening in 20+ years, and Universal is already planning to manage the crowds with a strict ticket policy.

Epic Universe

Universal Orlando created something groundbreaking when it introduced The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Now, Universal Orlando is working on a new theme park called Epic Universe.

It will open in 2025 and will offer an entirely new level of experience that will change theme park entertainment. Guests will travel into beloved stories and through vibrant lands on adventures where the journey is as amazing as the ultimate destination.

Epic Universe will have a theme park, an entertainment center, hotels, shops, restaurants, and more. This expansion will create more space and freedom to let loose and create lasting memories with the people you love.

Ticket Information

However, getting in may be harder than we all anticipated. Universal reportedly released ticket information for Epic Universe to third-party vendors, and in order to visit Epic Universe you have to buy a 3-day ticket. Then, you can only visit Epic Universe for one of those days.

In addition, there will be no park-to-park option, so Guests will be limited to 1-day only with no work-arounds.

We have heard there will be several weeks (months?) of previews, so hopefully this will alleviate the crowds that would be mostly made up of UOAPs and other specialty groups.

What does this mean for you?

We are unsure if this is really what Universal intends to do to manage crowds, or if they are just putting it out there to see what the public thinks. If this plan does proceed, I expect that a lot of people will wait until this ticket option is no longer the only way to visit Epic Universe.

People will want to spend multiple days at Epic Universe and not be forced to buy tickets to the other parks.

There is still no opening date set, but we anticipate a summer 2025 opening with weeks of previews leading up. If Guests are severely restricted in how they can purchase tickets to Epic Universe, we expect a slow summer and busy fall/Christmas season (if the above opening timeline holds true).

Are you shocked with Universal’s decision to limit tickets? Do you think this is a good idea or a bad idea? Let us know in the comments below, and share this post with a friend.
