Overview
- On November 7, a county permit was submitted for "site utilities and foundation work" tied to new construction at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe.
- The filing covers approximately 150,000 square feet at the park’s address, a scale comparable to major ride show buildings reported by multiple outlets.
- One report lists Baker Barrios Architects Inc. as the applicant, and the permit carries an expiration date of May 7, 2026.
- Aerial mapping and field observations suggest the permitted area corresponds to the empty plot behind the Ministry of Magic facades in the Wizarding World.
- Universal has not confirmed any attraction or expansion, and while speculation is active, the project’s purpose remains unverified.
