Ever since news broke of Universal’s newest Orlando park and all of its themed worlds (and its delicious-looking eats) coming in 2025 we’ve been very busy gathering any and all updates as they’ve come.

However, Universal recently flexed a bit of the new technology we can expect to find within one of the immersive worlds and it has us screaming in an ear-deafening tone!
