"Universal is building a brand new theme park at its resort in Orlando. Universal’s Epic Universe will join Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure as the third theme park at Universal Orlando Resort, and the first brand new theme park in Orlando in more than 20 years. In a press conference announcing the park last week, Tom Williams, chairman and chief executive officer for Universal Parks & Resorts, said Epic Universe will be 'the most immersive and innovative theme park we have ever created.' It’s a tall order for the company that brought J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World to life."
