Universal Orlando's Epic Universe rolls out new Express Pass options and a nightly spectacular

Universal Orlando Resort has expanded its Express Pass offerings at Epic Universe, adding the standard Express Pass, Express Unlimited (included for guests staying at selected on‑site hotels), and the flexible Express Now option that lets visitors purchase skip‑the‑line access for individual attractions via the park app. The passes cover popular rides such as Stardust Racers, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, Monsters Unchained, and Volcano Bay water slides, allowing guests to reduce wait times especially during busy periods.

Starting July 7, Epic Universe will also host its first permanent nighttime show, "Universal Celestial Goodnight," featuring synchronized fountains, more than 600 lighting fixtures, LED effects, original music and a fireworks finale that highlights themed areas like Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon, and the Wizarding World. The production is expected to draw large evening crowds, encouraging visitors to stay through park closing for a final immersive experience.
