What if there were a place where you could portal back to the wonder you felt as a kid? 

Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida, is a real-life, tangible immersion into worlds you couldn’t actually visit...until now.  

Epic Universe is more than a nostalgic journey through the past. It’s your passport into a world where the impossible comes to life right before your very eyes!

What You’ll Learn: 

2:36 What’s special about Orlando’s Super Mario Land

3:26 Donkey Kong’s US debut

7:09 A fun and furious Viking flight in Isle of Berk

9:17 Why Celestial Park is the place to be after dark

10:57 Monster transformations at Dark Universe

17:40 A visit to Harry Potter’s Ministry of Magic

20:52 The most technologically advanced ride at the park

Today, host Angie Orth is on location at Epic Universe, bringing you firsthand accounts of what it’s like to visit the places we once thought were just make-believe. She interviews the people behind the making of these whimsical lands, learning how they came to life and the inspiration behind the magic. 

You’ll experience the childlike wonder of worlds like Nintendo’s Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country. You’ll dig into the viral Mac N’ Cheese Cones on the Isle of Berk (but you might have to share with the fire-breathing dragons). You’ll take a 7 million star-lit journey through Celestial Park. You’ll go deep into the monstrous underworld of Dark Universe, then grab a Butterbeer at the Ministry of Magic.
