It’s certainly not news that people are LOVING Universal’s brand-new theme park, Epic Universe (it’s us, we’re “people”).
With five immersive lands, incredible theming, exciting entertainment, stellar attractions, and more, it’s no wonder this land is getting so much love. And, in a recent Comcast earnings call (the parent company of Universal), it was revealed that Epic Universe is responsible for more spending at Universal Orlando.
Comcast recently held its second-quarter earnings call for fiscal year 2025, and we learned just how much of an impact the opening of Epic Universe has had on the company. During the call, Comcast executives said that Epic Universe was responsible for higher per capita spending at Universal Orlando Resort, and is “trending in line with expectations.”
In addition, second-quarter theme park revenue increased by 18.9%. Theme park profit surged 26% to $1.7 billion on revenue, up 19% to $2.3 billion.
But, it wasn’t just theme parks that drove revenue, as studio profit and revenue rose 8% and 5.3%, respectively. The newly released live-action How to Train Your Dragon has grossed over $600 million at the worldwide box office.
As of now, Annual Passes cannot be used for admission to Epic Universe — only single-day and multi-day tickets are available. Not only that, but since it’s a brand-new theme park, visitors are more likely to spend money on souvenirs and upgraded experiences to commemorate their trips — and we definitely don’t blame them!
Five themed lands make up Epic Universe: Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe.
