Can you take SunRail or Brightline to Universal Orlando's Epic Universe? Sort of, see how
Floridians can travel to Epic Universe by car and plane, but can they also get there by train? Universal Orlando's newest theme park will open its doors to the public on Thursday, May 22, taking guests into five immersive worlds through themed portals. Florida has two commuter rail systems that go to Orlando: SunRail in Central Florida and Brightline in South Florida. Here's how you can take them to Epic Universe. Epic Universe is located at 1001 Epic Boulevard in Orlando. Please note: it's not right next to the other Universal Orlando theme parks. It is located about 4 miles away from Universal's "north campus"— which includes Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and CityWalk. This might mean a 13 to 15-minute drive for visitors. There will be complimentary transportation between Epic Universe and the other parks. Brightline operates between South Florida and Orlando with stops at Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and Orlando. Brightline ticket prices vary based on the distance traveled and the type of ticket purchased. Parkgoers can take Brightline to the Orlando stop at the Orlando International Airport, where Universal Orlando offers the SuperStar Shuttle for traveling round-trip or one-way between the airport and Universal Orlando hotels. The ride from MCO to Universal Orlando is roughly 30 minutes. It costs $39 round-trip per adult, $36 round-trip for children ages 3-9, and free for children 2 and under. As for one-way prices, it costs $23 per adult, $18 per child ages 3-9 and children under 2 ride free. This service can be added to any Universal Parks & Resorts Vacation package with a UOR hotel, or individual UOR hotel reservations. The shuttle must be booked at least 24 hours before guests' scheduled flight time. Rideshare services, such as Uber and Lyft, are also available as an alternative. SunRail is a Central Florida-based commuter train with stops from Volusia County to Osceola County. It began services back in May 2014, currently seeing a daily ridership of over 4,500 people. Like Brightline, SunRail ticket prices vary based on the distance traveled and the type of ticket purchased. While it does not have a stop directly at Universal Orlando, you can get pretty close. The nearest stop to Epic Universe is the Sand Lake Road Station, which is roughly 7 miles away from the new theme park. From the station, you can use rideshare services to travel to the theme park. There is hope that SunRail will be extended to the Orlando International Airport and other areas. The Florida Department of Transportation previously proposed a study looking into an expansion of SunRail between Orlando International Airport and Disney Springs, referred to as the 'Sunshine Corridor.' This would also allow parkgoers to ride to MCO and take the shuttle to the theme park. Epic Universe officially opens to the public on Thursday, May 22, 2025, ahead of Memorial Day weekend. Some might be able to see it early. Universal is currently offering a park preview to select guests through May 19. This article originally appeared on Palm Beach Post: Epic Universe opens on May 22. Can Floridians take Brightline to park?
