Universal Epic Universe opens to the public in Orlando, Florida, on May 22, 2025. Team members are currently testing park operations for the media and others.

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, visible work has begun on a transformation from DinoLand USA into an area called Tropical Americas. It will include “Encanto” attractions and the retheming of the Dinosaur ride into an “Indiana Jones” attraction.

It’s apparent in the tunnel-like “portal” entries into each land, stunning landscapes like the towering statues in Celestial Park or the new Helios hotel, the first one to be situated within a theme park itself. With its fountains and statues and hemispherical domes, the giant palace would look at home in Las Vegas.
