Universal Epic Universe includes five separate lands, most of them fully immersive.

Epic Universe officially opens May 22 , but employees, their guests and media have been visiting.

Super Nintendo World is a loud, chaotic arcade come to life, despite my apathy toward video games.

The experience wasn't perfect, but I didn't expect it to be. The moments that stick with me: watching my daughter brave big rides.

The world built around the “How to Train Your Dragon” franchise was a favorite, and it also was the area I left the most untested.

At Epic Universe, most of the rides have single-rider lines.

The Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry is a battle just to get on, requiring luck.

Epic Universe could have used more shaded or misted areas, especially in the central section.

There are so many restaurants that I'd need to visit a dozen times to try them all.

I wished all day that I had a paper map as I crisscrossed the park.
