Universal leaks details of massive Epic Universe expansion… and Disney may be forced to take drastic action
Universal Studios' brand new theme park Epic Universe just opened a little over two months ago... but a massive expansion is already in talks. The dazzling amusement park launched on May 22, 2025, introducing five immersive new lands - including Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, and the Isle of Berk from How to Train Your Dragons, amongst others. From battling the Ministry of Magic in a thrilling Harry Potter-themed ride to visiting the spooky village of Darkmoor, where Henry Frankenstein's great-great-granddaughter has accidentally set free a slew of famous monsters like Dracula, the Mummy, and the Werewolf, to name a few - there is so much to see and do. But according to Universal's executives, this is just the beginning, as they've already been teasing some pretty exciting updates to the glorious new park. And the upcoming expansions may force Disney World, which is located just down the road, to take drastic action to ensure it doesn't lose guests. Karen Irwin, president and chief operating officer of Universal Orlando Resort, was first to tease a potential Epic Universe expansion in a video shared to Universal's YouTube channel in March, two months before the park even opened. 'There are already so many things in the works now. We have a slate of new attractions that we're already developing for every one of our parks. We're already planning for the next thing at Epic,' she said. Mark Woodbury, Chairman and CEO of Universal Destinations & Experiences, also hinted at the future of Epic Universe last month during a press conference. He told reporters from inside the park, 'What you can't see sitting here are all the expansion areas that are outside the spaces that you can see. 'There's a lot of room for expansion. We're already thinking about how that plays out, and it's the same on the north end of the campus, new attractions coming, new intellectual property coming.' Last month, Universal sent theme park fans into a frenzy when it filed new work permits for a 40,178-square-foot construction site at Epic Universe, titled Project 915. It was described as 'site preparation for new construction building, including but not limited to relocating existing utilities, installing new utilities, site grading, and foundation for new building.' According to popular theme park blog That Park Place, the project is set for the area 'between Super Nintendo World and Celestial Park, right across the path from the Atlantic full-service restaurant.' They theorized it will be 'a multi-purpose soundstage or theater, possibly designed for events, seasonal shows, or even temporary exhibits.' The permit expires in December 2025, giving a hint as to when the mysterious new building will be finished. Aerial shots taken by a theme park photographer known as Bioreconstruct on X (formerly Twitter) show that Epic Universe as multiple 'expansion pads' - areas of land just outside of the park that have been completely cleared out for future construction. Universal's executives have already been teasing some pretty exciting updates to the glorious new park. Some of the lands at Epic Universe are seen There is one next to Super Mario World that's about seven acres, one connected to Dark Universe that's about 3.5 acres, and one adjacent to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic that's a whopping 17 acres, amongst others. In addition, the gate at the center of Epic Universe has a symbol for all five of the current worlds - and there's two more spots that are empty, hinting that two new lands may be added in the future. Naturally, social media has been ablaze with theorizes about what new things will be coming to Epic Universe. Many people believe a Wicked-themed area will be next to arrive, while others have speculated that Luigi's Mansion, a Lord of the Rings land, or something to do with Legends of Zelda or Pokemon will come to the park. There are also a slew of rumors that a Creature from the Black Lagoon boat ride will be added to Dark Universe in the future, as well as a second ride for the Harry Potter area. When asked about a potential Wicked land by the New York Times in February, Mark said, 'When I saw it, my first reaction was, "This is a theme park waiting to happen."' So what does all this mean for Disney World? Well, for years, Disney has been looked at by many as the top theme park in the world, offering four amusement parks, two water parks, and a slew of hotels, shopping, and dining. But there's no denying that the opening of Epic Universe tilted the scale slightly - and Universal's fast and ambitious talk of expansions has got many avid theme park fans talking. 'The opening of Universal's Epic Universe sent ripples through the industry - and now, just two months later, those ripples have become a tidal wave,' Inside the Magic wrote earlier this month. From battling the Ministry of Magic in a thrilling Harry Potter-themed ride (seen) to visiting the spooky village of Darkmoor - there is so much to see and do at Epic Universe 'Universal didn't just throw open the gates to its most ambitious park ever - they also just confirmed that expansion is already in the works. 'It's fast. It's aggressive. And it's exactly the kind of pressure Disney hasn't had to deal with in decades. 'And if the rumors and leaked plans are anything to go by, Universal isn't just trying to compete anymore. They're aiming to take over the market. 'Universal is building hype, driving bookings, and reshaping expectations. Disney needs to meet that energy, or risk falling behind.' They pointed out that Disney has become somewhat known for its 'slow and calculated' expansions - something the company might have to reconsider amidst the immense excitement surrounding the future of Epic Universe. And Disney may already be taking notice as it has announced a slew upcoming changes to its parks in recent months. A new Cars-themed land is in the works at Magic Kingdom, as well as an area inspired by the Disney villains. In addition, an Encanto river ride, an Indiana Jones attraction, and a Zootopia show are all set to come to Animal Kingdom in the upcoming years. Over in Hollywood Studios, a new Monsters Inc. land will replace Muppets Courtyard, and it's set to have a suspended rollercoaster that will put riders 'right in the middle of the monster action.' But the all the new stuff has meant that a slew of beloved rides have been forced to close, including the Liberty Square Riverboat ride, the Dinosaur ride, and Muppet*Vision 3D, leaving many die-hard Disney fans outraged. Earlier this year, a new Comprehensive Plan 2045 from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District even showed potential plans for Disney to build a fifth sprawling theme park. The plans detailed a reserved development capacity for another 'major theme park' and two 'minor theme parks' that could be built over the next few decades. The expansion at the Orlando resort could be expansive - mirroring the scale of other popular parks such as Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. The documents allotted 400 to 500 acres for the new park which would be Disney's first all-new gate in over 25 years. It is thought that the two smaller parks will be water parks, spanning an estimated 147 acres each. Walt Disney World has not officially confirmed a fifth Florida theme park, and the Comprehensive Plan does not mean that the fifth park is definitely happening, but it opens the door for one in the future should Disney want to go forward with it. In the end, only time will tell what will come next for both Epic Universe and Disney World, but all in all, it's an exciting time for theme park lovers.

Matt Rife buys infamous Annabelle doll's house and reveals plans for its future
Comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee have purchased the home of the infamous Annabelle doll. Located in Monroe, Connecticut, the building houses the Raggedy Ann doll, which is a classic fixture in the horror genre, specifically in The Conjuring film franchise. Rife shared the news Friday via Instagram, calling it an 'insane announcement.' 'I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren's home and Occult Museum, including being the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years, of the entire haunted collection including THE ANNABELLE DOLL, with my good friend @eltoncastee!! If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted,' Rife wrote. 'You also may know The Conjuring films are my favorite scary movies of all time. So I'm incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history. Ed and Lorain Warren arguably put demonology and paranormal into the mainstream and are the very heart of some of the most famous haunted stories of all time, The Conjuring House, Amityville Horror , et.' Matt Rife has purchased the home of the infamous Annabelle doll (Getty Images) Sharing the future of the home, Rife continued: 'We plan to open the house for overnight stays and museum tours so you yourself can experience and learn all the haunted history surrounding this amazing place.' While some of Rife's supporters applauded his news, others raised a grave concern. 'Didnt someone just die for taking that Annabelle doll on tour or something???' one person commented, referring to the recent death of the doll's handler. Dan Rivera, 54, died July 13 while on tour with the doll. According to a Facebook post from the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR), which is hosting Annabelle's tour, Rivera suddenly died while at an event with the doll. Rivera was also the lead investigator for NESPR. Annabelle the doll in her specially built case at Warrens' Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut (New England Society for Psychic Research) Pennsylvania State Police shared a report via X about Rivera's death saying: 'Members from PSP Gettysburg responded to a hotel in Straban Township, Adams County for a report of a deceased [man]. The decedent was discovered in his hotel room by workers. Nothing unusual or suspicious was observed at the scene. His cause of death is pending.' Meanwhile, Annabelle the doll will continue traveling throughout the next few months, with her next stop in Augusta, Maine, on September 6 and September 7. She's also expected to be at the Rock Island Roadhouse Esoteric Expo in Rock Island, Illinois, on October 4, and ScareFest Weekend 17 in Lexington, Kentucky, which is from October 17 through 19. The appearances come months after rumors circulated in May that Annabelle had somehow gone missing while in Louisiana when some visitors claimed they didn't see the doll during a tour. However, Rivera debunked theories that the doll had gone missing in a TikTok video at the time. 'I'm here at the museum right now, and I just wanna show you guys that Annabelle is in the Warrens' Occult Museum,' he said. 'Let's go inside and let's check.' After entering the museum, he walked over to show the doll sitting in a wooden case. Annabelle first appeared in 2013's The Conjuring before receiving her own spin-off franchise. Annabelle was released in 2014, followed by Annabelle: Creation in 2017 and the latest entry, Annabelle Comes Home, in 2019.

Inside Lindsay Lohan's transformation from wild child to married mum as she reveals what she would do differently
SHE is the Hollywood wild thing who notched up five trips to rehab, 20 court appearances and one 84-minute jail stretch. Now former Disney child star Lindsay Lohan, 39, insists that if she could turn back the clock she would have done things differently. 4 4 4 She said: 'I was always such a 'yes' person to my agents and everyone that no one ever really took the time to ask me, 'Do you wanna chill for a second?' 'And if I knew then what I know now, I'd definitely have used the word 'no' a lot more.' Over a six-year period, she was arrested a number of times for drink and drug offences. But the star's life nowadays could not be more different from her hellraising years in Hollywood. She turned teetotal and removed herself from bad influences in 2014 by moving to Dubai, where she still lives. In 2022 she married Kuwaiti financier Bader Shammas, 38, and the following year gave birth to their son Luai. Showbiz feuds Lindsay now believes her younger self would be 'very proud of the mother and wife that I am today' and added: 'I love it so much. I'm obsessed with my kid. 'The other day I said, 'Luai, don't do that — not a good idea', and now he goes, 'Luai, don't do that . . . ' He mocks me. 'If my husband's like, 'No, Luai', then he listens. But for me, it's like he laughs at me. But I'm fine with it. I love every second.' Despite being an 'It Girl' of the Noughties, starring in 2004 high school comedy Mean Girls at the age of 18, she jokes she is now just an embarrassing mum who struggles to keep up with Gen Z slang. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis delight fans as they finally reunite for epic Freakier Friday trailer Lindsay said: 'I don't know any cool new words except for 'rizz' [meaning charisma]. 'But I would probably say it in the wrong context, like, 'Yeah. That was a rizz day'.' Stormy love life Lindsay first found the limelight aged just three, in fashion ads for Calvin Klein Kids and Abercrombie Kids. After a stint in US soap Another World aged ten, she landed her big break two years later in Disney film The Parent Trap. Roles in teen comedy films followed — Disney hit Freaky Friday in 2003, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, then Mean Girls — as she earned three MTV Movie and four Teen Choice Awards. 4 By now she seemed unstoppable — and in 2004 a dabble in music saw her single Rumors reach No6 in the UK. But in her early twenties, her private life and partying became more notable than her acting. She became a fixture in LA's nightclubs and made headlines for all the wrong reasons, including showbiz feuds and a stormy love life. She had failed flings with US rapper Aaron Carter, English singer-songwriter Samantha Ronson and Brit rugby hunk Danny Cipriani. In 2007 she was sent to rehab after a conviction for driving under the influence and possession of cocaine. There were multiple further arrests over the next four years for violation of probation orders and other offences — plus several stints in rehab. But then, in a bid to finally clean up her act for good, Lindsay left behind her old haunts to move to the Middle East. She said: 'I get the privacy, I get the peace, the space. I don't have to worry — I feel safe.' She has also rebuilt her career with a series of films for Netflix including two festive hits — 2022 romance Falling For Christmas, and last year's Our Little Secret and comedy Irish Wish. Jamie and I have remained in close contact over the past two decades. She's a very important person in my life. Lindsay Lohan Last year she also had a cameo in a remake of Mean Girls, and she has been welcomed back to Disney, reprising her role opposite Jamie Lee Curtis in Freakier Friday, a sequel to Freaky Friday that hits UK cinemas next week. Lindsay said: 'Jamie and I have remained in close contact over the past two decades. She's a very important person in my life. 'Working with her again felt like it was yesterday.' But despite her career revival, she puts her son first when she is working. She said: 'Time manage-ment is a big part of it, like the timing of when they're going to shoot the film and how it's going to work out for my son. 'That's a big deal because he comes first in my life.' She also hopes to revive her music career — and hints at a new release soon. Lindsay said: 'I love making music, it's just the time has to be right. I have to have a certain amount of downtime to discover what story I want to tell through my music again.' But unlike her old self she is in no hurry to impress. She said: 'There's no need to rush. Because my life was so busy then, I never took the time to pause.'
