We did talk a little about that, and they say this year. The way the creatives describe the update to Expedition Odyssey as the first phase in their approach to more story-driven experiences, which will be on full display in SeaQuest.

Our first real hint at the next attraction for Epic Universe? 👀 "There's always more magic coming out of Epic Universe, especially in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but I think that's all I can say for now," director of projects for Universal Creative Anisha Vyas tells @CWatkinsWESH wesh.com/article/1-year-sinc…

After a multi-month wait, Universal is finally ready to get started on the other expansion coming to Epic Universe. It’s ironic this project got filled first, but Universal waited to pay all the fees while they started paperwork and got dirt moving on the Dark Universe expansion.
NEW: the permits for the NEW Harry Potter attraction at Epic Universe has finally been issued!

At center of this aerial photo is a 1970 Black Dodge Charger car in pull testing in the first launch at Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. Look close, there's a rope attached to the front. Rider reach envelopes also attached. These arching pipes represent maximum reach of a rider.
