Building work on Universal's Epic Universe – a new theme park at the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, US – is advancing and the park is set to open to visitors in 2025.

The park, whose construction was severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic throughout 2020 and 2021, was initially set for a 2023 opening.

When open, it will become Universal's third theme park in Orlando and is located on a 750-acre (300 ha) site south of Sand Lake Road and east of Universal Boulevard.

Work on the development is led by Universal Creative.

As well as a theme park, the site will include an entertainment centre, hotels, shops, restaurants and more.

"Universal's Epic Universe will offer an entirely new level of experience that will forever change theme park entertainment," Universal said.

"Guests will venture beyond their wildest imagination, travelling into beloved stories and through vibrant lands on adventures where the journey is as astounding as the ultimate destination.

"Epic Universe will be the most immersive and innovative park we've ever created."
