Since the park’s opening in May 2025, Universal’s Epic Universe has been a huge part of driving parent company Comcast’s growth for the 2025 third quarter.
The company's most recent financial reports revealed that theme park revenue increased to $2.7 billion in 2025, up from $2.3 billion in 2024, representing a 19 percent rise. Adjusted EPITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization increased to $958 million in 2025 compared to $847 million in 2024, marking a 13.1 percent change.
Mike Cavanah, co-CEO of Comcast, said in a statement, “Broadly, the full resort of Orlando is very strong, so we’re very pleased.”
He added, “The idea was to have Epic head us towards a week-long vacation type of experience. What we're seeing as Epic is now in the market is that it's driving higher per cap spending and attendance across the entirety of Universal Orlando. One of the nice things is that there's lesser cannibalization of attendance from our two pre-existing parks than we had expected.”
Cavanah also said “In terms of Epic itself, our focus now is just driving increased ride capacity. It's a new park and very technologically advanced, so working on the labor and the kinks to drive it to full capacity. We've been holding back a little bit to make sure the experience is what we want it to be. We expect it to fully scale up in the months ahead, and we'll really be driving higher attendance, per caps, and improved operating leverage.”
Universal Orlando recently sought out an expansion project to be located between Epic Universe’s main entrance and Super Nintendo World.
