By this time next year, Universal Orlando’s new park, Epic Universe, could be open!

We’re still waiting for an official opening date to be announced, but until that comes, we’re keeping a close eye on all the latest construction updates. One of the most anticipated new lands is the new Ministry of Magic section, which is partially set in Paris (from the Fantastic Beasts films), and well, we think it’s looking really familiar!

Thanks to @bioreconstruct on Twitter/X, we’re able to see a bird’s eye view of all the construction happening in the new park, and s it just us, or does the Paris section of the Ministry of Magic look a LOT like the France Pavilion in EPCOT?

While the colors aren’t exactly the same, we’re loving that the architecture looks so familiar. We love the EPCOT pavilion, so we’re really hoping we’ll feel like we’re in Paris here too!

Some scaffolding is returning to the area, which means they are likely working on the outside facades of these buildings.

Plus, they’ve added a tent at the front of the suspected theater attraction!

Overall, the land looks like it’s coming along really nicely, and we can’t believe we could be just a year(ish) away from experiencing it!
