EPCOT is working on the Moana Journey of Water attraction, among other projects, while Magic Kingdom is still working on TRON Lightcycle Run. Disney isn’t the only theme park working on construction right now though, as Universal is working on their new theme park, Epic Universe. If you’re as excited about this new park as we are, we’ve got an exciting construction update for you!

Twitter user @bioreconstruct recently shared a bird’s eye look at the Epic Universe construction.

As you can see, buildings are now standing on the property, but about half of the property is still awaiting any sort of development. For comparison, this was what the area looked like back in April!

And the track has been laid on the ground for the roller coaster in How To Train Your Dragon Land, and we’re really starting to see how this area of the park will be laid out.

We’re also getting a look at the placement for a “dual high speed coaster” coming to the park.

Construction appears to be moving along at a steady pace, and at this time, the park is still set to open in 2025. It hasn’t all been smooth sailing, however, as Universal was recently in the middle of a $250 million lawsuit regarding land used for the new park.
