“Goodnight” will be the park’s first nightly show since it opened in May 2025.
The end-of-night event will pay tribute to the “inspiring characters and adventures” within Epic’s lands, including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe and How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Universal said. The show will be staged in Epic’s Celestial Park, which stretches from the entrance to the foot of the Helios Grand Hotel.
“Celestial Goodnight” will feature synchronized choreography utilizing the park’s 600 light fixtures, 350 water fountains, 7 million embedded LEDs and pyrotechnics set to a “high-energy musical core,” Universal said.
Show time has not been announced, but Epic Universe’s posted operating hours through the end of August are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
