Universal’s NEW Epic Universe theme park officially opens on May 22nd, 2025 — and to say we’re ready is an understatement.

The new theme park will include five themed lands with new attractions, restaurants, shopping, and more. We’ve scoped out the newest updates on the construction of the park and have already stayed in one of the newest Universal hotels to put us as close to the action as possible! And now, Epic Universe has officially been added to the Universal Orlando app!

We are officially ONE STEP CLOSER to the opening of Epic Universe, y’all!!! The park has been added to the Universal Orlando app, which means you can check out the FULL map of each land, along with information about rides, restaurants, shops, and more.

You’ll want to make sure you’re in the Map tab, and you can either use the map to scroll to Epic Universe or select the menu at the bottom of the map and choose “Universal Epic Universe” to be taken to the park directly.

And there she is in all her glory! You can clearly see the name of each land along with shopping and dining locations, depending on how you’ve got your map filtered at the moment.

To switch up the filters, click on the drop-down menu in the top left corner to bring up options like Attractions, Entertainment, Dining, Shop, and more.

We did notice something interesting as we were playing around in each land, though. If you click on the land’s icon, like we did with Celestial Park here, a little pop-up will come up giving you the option to click the heart and “favorite” it, but below that — it says “Virtual Line.”

It wasn’t just Celestial Park that said that, either. As we clicked through each land, we noticed they all said it.

But, then suddenly, the “Virtual Line” label disappeared from each of the lands as well.

Now, Universal hasn’t made any official announcements about any Virtual Lines — whether for attractions or to enter each land altogether — but it could be their way of managing crowds when the park first opens. In addition to limiting ticket sales for each day (and park capacity, by default), this could help keep each land from becoming unmanageable. We’re not sure if this label was added by mistake, but we’ll keep an eye on things.

Either way, it’s clear that Universal is expecting full crowds and capacity for the opening of Epic Universe!

Both SUPER NINTENDO WORLD at Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood used virtual lines to help control crowds when they opened and demand was at an all-time high. The Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter also restricted entry when they initially opened. You can check out more information about each land as you click through them, like SUPER NINTENDO WORLD…

…and Dark Universe!

You can even view the layout of the Helios Grand Hotel as well!

We also spotted additional ride information in the app, such as which rides will have a Single Rider line and which ones will not! Also, keep in mind that just because a ride will support a Single Rider line, it doesn’t mean that a Single Rider line will be available from day one.

You can check out the list of rides with Single Rider lines below!
