1-Day Touring Epic Universe
The wait is over! Universal Orlando has officially released 1-day tickets for Epic Universe for travel starting June 1st. From Super Nintendo World to the Dark Universe, find out how much a day at this brand-new park will cost and how to transition from multi-day bundles to a single-day adventure.
I Spent a Full Day Touring Epic Universe. Here’s How it Went.
Epic Universe Entrance
If you’re searching for Epic Universe rides, tips, best attractions, and an immersive walkthrough from gate to coaster, you’re in the right place. Universal Orlando’s brand-new Epic Universe theme park is not just another park — it’s a portal-to-portal exploration of worlds, and I captured the full experience in my new YouTube video.

Epic Universe isn’t just about rides and lights — it’s about stepping into five fully themed lands, each with its own signature coasters, dark rides, immersive restaurants, and unique atmosphere.
What You’ll See in the Video
In the video, I walk you land by land, from the moment I enter Celestial Park to my final ride of the day. Here’s a taste of what I captured:
Celestial Park — The Heart of Epic Universe
This central hub feels like the gateway to endless adventure. Gorgeous fountains and themed dining set the tone before we even step into the first portal. It’s the heart of the park and a great starting point for first-timers.
Super Nintendo World — Mario & Donkey Kong Fun
Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe - Orlando
Everyone searching for “Epic Universe Super Nintendo World rides” will love this segment. I go inside the warp-pipe entrance and take you through:
Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge (mixed-reality racing fun)
Donkey Kong: Mine Cart Madness — an innovative coaster-style ride
Yoshi’s Adventure — a whimsical family ride
Plus, you’ll see interactive Power-Up Band gameplay, where I punch blocks and collect digital coins — straight inside the video!
👉 Fun fact: this is one of the most requested Epic Universe attractions people ask about before their trip.
Dark Universe — Monsters, Story, and Eateries
Next, we walk through the eerie portal into Dark Universe, where classic Universal Monsters come alive. In the video you’ll ride:
Monsters Unchained — a dark ride with animatronics and immersive storytelling
Curse of the Werewolf — a family coaster with a twist
The theming around Burning Blade Tavern
This land’s atmosphere and details make it a standout, and it’s all in the video.
Wizarding World — Ministry of Magic
Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Epic Universe
No Epic Universe tour would be complete without Harry Potter magic. My video shows:
The Battle at the Ministry — a trackless dark ride you have to see to believe
Café and Paris-style wizarding streets
Butterbeer and themed snacks — yes, I taste them too!
Isle of Berk — Dragons & Viking Thrills
A highlight for families and thrill-seekers alike, this How to Train Your Dragon land delivers:
Hiccup’s Wing Gliders
Dragon Racer’s Rally
Live shows with Toothless flying overhead
The sights, sounds, and character moments are all in the video — and yes, dragons are every where!
Stardust Racers — Epic Universe’s Must-Ride Coaster
In my video’s grand finale, I ride Stardust Racers — one of the most anticipated dueling coasters in Orlando. This high-speed, airtime-filled coaster gives a thrilling finish to the park tour.
