Transportation to Epic Universe
To me, it seems all of Orlando is gearing up for this new park as there is construction everywhere. There will be complimentary resort shuttle bus transportation between Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Volcano Bay, and Universal CityWalk, along with all of the Universal hotels.
Epic Universe is about 3 miles away from the main Universal Orlando Resort area. The Kirkman Road extension runs 1.7 miles from Carrier Drive through Sand Lake Road down to Universal Boulevard. Once complete, the stretch will include multiple lanes, including dedicated bus lanes.
One of the main features of the extension will be the elevated traffic circle, situated between Universal Stella Nova and Universal Terra Luna Resorts and the south end of Epic Universe. Not only will the circle purpose traffic flow, but Orange County leaders say the circle will serve as a regional landmark.
Kirkman Road traffic circle at Universal’s Epic Universe will serve as landmark in Orlando.
The overall goal of the Kirkman Road Extension is to improve the transportation network for the Orange County Convention Center, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and the UCF Rosen School of Hospitality Management.
Guests will first enter Epic Universe via Celestial Park, which will have a carousel, a roller coaster, stores, restaurants and portals to each of the four other worlds, including Super Nintendo World which I think will be th most popular of all.
Is Disney World worried about Epic Universe?
Disney is certainly taking notice. I mean this will be the largest park Universal has built and they are bringing everything they learned about creating theme parks to Orlando. Here’s a video on how I think Epic Universe will change Orlando.
