The last time Universal Destinations & Experiences launched a new theme park in the United States was 25 years ago. Now, with the game-changing Epic Universe in Orlando, the stakes couldn't be higher for one of the world's legendary entertainment companies. Ride engineers, costume and production designers, choreographers, performers and an array of creative executives race to the finish line to deliver the theme park of the future -- a high risk, high reward proposition matching the story of Universal from its beginnings. When founder Carl Laemmle launched his movie studio in 1912, he had to overcome big odds. His adventurous spirit has lived on ever since, from creating a new genre of monster movies in the 1930s and revolutionizing the studio tour in the 1970s, to partnering with Steven Spielberg in the 1980s and building Epic Universe today. Iconic creator Spielberg joins Vin Diesel, Michelle Yeoh, Bryce Dallas Howard and others to tell this tale of how an Epic Universe was built.
