Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s highly anticipated new theme park, opened today on May 22. The official media event took place last night, May 21st, but today marked the first day the park is officially open to the public.

Universal Epic Universe is a theme park lovers’ theme park. The new addition to Universal Orlando Resort takes immersive theming to new levels in five fully fleshed worlds connected by ornate portals throughout the park.

Universal's new theme park pushes the boundaries of what's being done with animatronics today -- especially in extreme Florida heat. The design teams behind Epic Universe's attractions talk about bringing the tech to life and future stunts for guests (spoiler: it's drones).
