Universal Orlando Unveils National Epic Universe Portal Tour

Universal Orlando Resort announced it would launch the National Epic Universe Portal Tour across select cities this spring to give fans a glimpse of the adventures that await in the immersive new theme park.

The tour will include stops in Atlanta, New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago, and will bring a one-of-a-kind “epic” experience directly to fans. The centerpiece of the tour will be a gigantic, 30-foot-tall Chronos, which is a replica of the gateway entrance to Universal Epic Universe.

Universal Epic Universe will boast five immersive worlds, including Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe.

Attendees can take a photo beside the portal and visit the structure at night for a show with dynamic lighting and all-encompassing music. Theme park enthusiasts can also enter a sweepstakes to win a trip to Universal Orlando and Universal Epic Universe.
