Going to Epic Universe opening week? See weather for Memorial Day weekend in Orlando, Florida
Starting this Thursday, Florida will get a little more epic. Universal Orlando's Epic Universe will be fully operational and open on May 22, finally opening its doors to the general public since its announcement in August 2019. The new theme park will house five worlds for guests to explore and fully immerse themselves in — Celestial Park, Dark Universe, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic and Super Nintendo World. Between the grand opening and Memorial Day weekend, the park is bound to be packed. Florida theme park fans know that the state's wild weather can easily make or break a day at the parks. Epic Universe is located at 1001 Epic Boulevard in Orlando. The new park isn't 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. Epic Universe is about 15 minutes away from the main campus, by car.
