Universal Orlando Resort: news and guide

Last updated 11 November 2026

Universal Orlando Resort is Universal’s flagship destination in Florida, and it now includes Universal Epic Universe alongside Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure and CityWalk. Epic Universe opened in 2025. On 5 November 2026, just over a year after that official debut, Universal Orlando announced the park’s first major new attraction: an all-new indoor coaster in Dark Universe, next to Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, with an original story inspired by the Universal Monsters franchise. Construction is already under way. The opening is described only as “in the years ahead”; no name, ride system or date has been given (Universal Orlando, 5 November 2026).

The same announcement listed other confirmed additions across the resort: a reimagined Universal Horror Make-Up Show featuring Blumhouse later in 2026, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift at Universal Studios Florida in 2027, a new full-service restaurant in Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure in 2027, and Luke Combs’ Category 10 at CityWalk in late 2027.
