Over a year after it first debuted, Universal\u2019s Epic Universe<\/a> remains a major draw for first-time and repeat guests alike.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Celestial Park in Epic Universe<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve visited Epic a lot over the last year, and over that time we\u2019ve picked up several tricks about visiting Orlando\u2019s newest theme park, starting at the park\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re heading to Epic Universe in the morning \u2014 for the hotel guests-exclusive Early Entry or the park\u2019s standard operating hours \u2014 or later on throughout the day, you\u2019re liable to find crowds of guests milling about waiting to enter the park. And that\u2019s where our lesson comes in.<\/p>\n

\"\"Epic Universe<\/p>\n

As you\u2019re approaching security and ticketing, make sure you veer to the left. As we\u2019ve discussed before when talking about which direction to head in theme parks like the Magic Kingdom<\/a> or EPCOT<\/a>, members of crowds tend to head to the right. Therefore, heading to the left should lead to shorter lines at security and scans, and in turn entry into the park.<\/p>\n

And because you\u2019ll get into the park faster, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy more offerings! So, once you get into Epic Universe, you\u2019ll be inside the Celestial Park area, which features two attractions. But because everyone will likely head to the first ride they see, you can enter the four other portals connected to Celestial Park to experience other attractions!<\/p>\n

\"\"Celestial Park<\/p>\n

These four portals include Super Nintendo World, featuring areas based on the world of both Mario and Donkey Kong\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"Super Nintendo World<\/p>\n

\u2026Dark Universe, based on Universal\u2019s iconic stable of monsters including Dracula. Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and more\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"Dark Universe<\/p>\n

\u2026the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic, Universal\u2019s latest land dedicated to the boy wizard, this time based on the city of Paris as presented in the Fantastic Beasts series\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"Ministry of Magic<\/p>\n

\u2026and Isle of Berk, based on the beloved How to Train Your Dragon franchise.<\/p>\n

\"\"Isle of Berk<\/p>\n

Within these five lands, you\u2019ll find eleven rides \u2014 Constellation Carousel, Curse of the Werewolf, Dragon Racer\u2019s Rally, Fyre Drill, Hiccup\u2019s Wing Gliders, Mine-Cart Madness, Stardust Racers, Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, Harry Potter and the Battle of the Ministry, Mario Kart Bowser\u2019s Challenge, and Yoshi\u2019s Adventure \u2014 and numerous restaurants, shops, shows, and character meet and greet opportunities.<\/p>\n

\"\"Stardust Racers<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to be in the park after dark, you can also now experience the brand-new nighttime show Celestial Goodnight, featuring pyrotechnics, lasers, and fountains telling the story of the park through sections themed to each of the aforementioned portals and Celestial Park.<\/p>\n

\"\"So much color!<\/p>\n

Next time you\u2019re heading into Epic Universe, make sure to veer to the left to make your way through security so that you can begin experiencing all the park has to offer as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
