Ahead of the opening of Epic Universe, Universal Orlando is going to preview its new theme park in four US cities as part of the National Epic Universe Portal Tour.
The interactive experience will give fans a first look at Epic Universe before it opens to the public on 22 May.
The tour will include stops in Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.
The centrepiece of the tour will be a 30-foot-tall Chronos tower, a replica of the park’s front gate.
Via a press release, guests “will be invited to approach the mesmerizing portal structure to witness action-packed sequences that celebrate the incredible adventures of the new theme park“.
Guests will also get to take a photo next to the portal, and can visit it at night for an evening show with dynamic lighting and immersive music.
