Highlights of the year ahead include Disneyland’s 70th anniversary, a revamped roller coaster at Knott’s and the opening of Universal Epic Universe in Florida.
Thousands of visitors pack Main Street, U.S.A., at the start of Disneyland’s 60th anniversary celebration on July 17, 2015.The park will celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2025. After this week’s election, I will wager that many of you will be ready to put 2024 behind us. So allow me to offer several diversions for theme park fans to look forward to in 2025.
Next year also will bring a new resident to Disneyland’s Main Street Opera House. For the first time, Disney will produce an Audio Animatronic of its founder, Walt Disney. Disney announced at the D23 event in August that the new figure will star in “Walt Disney — A Magical Life,” opening sometime next year and sharing the theater with “Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln.”
Roller coasters fans will get to welcome two new tilt-track roller coasters in 2025. Imagine coming to the end of the track at the top of the lift hill, only to have your train stop and the track underneath you tilt forward to reveal and connect with the rest of the coaster. Put your faith in engineering on Circuit Breaker at Cotaland in Austin, Texas, and Siren’s Curse at Cedar Point in Ohio when those thrill rides open next year.
By far biggest thing to look forward to next year will be the May 22, 2025 opening of Universal Epic Universe in Orlando. The biggest new theme park to open in the United States since Disney California Adventure in 2001, Epic Universe promises to shake up the industry. The park will feature Orlando’s expanded Super Nintendo World as well as lands themed to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon and Universal’s classic monsters.
