Universal Orlando is bringing a little bit of Epic Universe, it’s highly-anticipated new theme park, to four U.S. cities this spring.
The National Epic Universe Portal Tour kicks off April 11 in Atlanta before making stops in New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago.
The tour will feature a 30-foot-tall Chronos, a replica of the portal visitors will use to enter the theme park. Visitors of the tour will get a preview of the park and its five themed lands through sequences shown on the Chronos.
Visitors also will be able to take photos with the portal and experience a nighttime show with lights and music.
The tour schedule:
- April 11-13: Atlanta, Georgia (Pemberton Place, next to World of Coca-Cola)
- April 23-26: New York, New York (Rockefeller Center)
- May 16-18: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (The Rocky Steps)
- June 13-18: Chicago, Illinois (Pioneer Court)
The tour will be open to visitors from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Visitors will have a chance to enter a sweepstakes for a trip to Universal Orlando and the opportunity to experience the new park.
Epic Universe will include five lands: Celestial Park, Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic.
The park officially opens to the public on May 22.
