Epic Universe construction update: Nighttime lighting testing
*SpongeBob voice* “Look at me! I’m at Epic Universe … at night.”
Epic Universe is only a little over two months from its grand opening, but the park’s lighting packages are already blowing us away. Thanks to @bioreconstruct on X, we have a new look at lighting across the park, as well as a new feature being tested in Celestial Park.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic … at night
Wizarding Paris looks like it might end up being the superior rendition of Paris in an Orlando-based theme park. While there are no rat chefs in this land, there are plenty of Fantastic Beasts for guests to discover during the show inside the glowing red tent known as “Le Cirque Arcanus.” With its warm, cozy lighting, these Parisian streets are going to be a must-visit at night. Lucky for you, the wait time for Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry (the land’s “E-Ticket” attraction) may be long enough that it might even be night by the time you exit!
Super Nintendo World … at night
Already a vibrant kingdom during the day, Super Nintendo World’s nighttime lighting will brighten up this two-story land greatly. A slow-moving ride aboard a Yoshi under the moonlight? Sign us up, right now.
Traveling to the Kongo Jungle of Donkey Kong Country is sure to make for an even more thrilling ride aboard Mine-Cart Madness, as you won’t be able to see the hidden track as well as you might be able to during the day!
Celestial Park … at night
Celestial Park seems to be testing out a synchronized lighting package across the entire land. bioreconstruct’s photos show lights syncing up and glowing the same color. While it’s unlikely you’ll see Celestial Park in full red, blue, or green lighting at any given point in time, it is interesting to see how this feature will be used when the park is open to the public.
The Epic Universe Chronos is truly stunning at night. The way it lights up in the evening gives some serious competition to other park icons across Orlando. Epic Universe’s “portal” appears as if you’e truly walking among the stars.
Lights are also installed in the pool surround Constellation Carousel, which could make for some neat effects at night. What’s your favorite out of the three color lights on display? That blue sure is gorgeous…
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk … at night
A land fit for a Viking, Isle of Berk is absolutely stunning in the evening. Soaring through the land on Hiccup’s Wing Gliders at night is going to be one spectacular experience!
