Whether you’re living your Disney dream, chasing adrenaline or simply young at heart, these adult and kid-friendly mega-playgrounds know no bounds. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From dragon-chasing in Orlando to seaside spins at the Santa Monica Pier, here\u2019s what\u2019s new, now and next in the world of USA theme parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Epic Universe \u2013 Orlando, Florida <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buckle up, one of this decade’s most anticipated theme park openings arrived in Orlando<\/a> in May 2025: Universal Epic Universe. The fourth jewel in Universal Orlando Resort\u2019s crown, this shiny addition features five distinct worlds.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter\u2122 \u2013 Ministry of Magic\u2122<\/a>. As soon as you enter, you\u2019ll walk through the streets<\/span> of 1920s wizarding Paris, where fantastic beasts roam. Spellbinding adventures alongside Ron, Hermione and Harry await inside the anticipated attraction Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry\u2122<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

In Super Nintendo World\u2122<\/a>, collect coins, face Bowser and refuel at Toadstool Cafe. Dare to enter the Dark Universe<\/a>, where monsters lurk in every shadow, soar on a dragon coaster in How to Train Your Dragon \u2013 Isle of Berk<\/a> world or get lost in the lush, mystical beauty of Celestial Park<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney Land Resort \u2013 Anaheim, California  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The original magic-maker since 1955, Disneyland Park<\/a> still draws crowds with iconic rides like Space Mountain, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Indiana Jones Adventure. Right next door, Disney California Adventure Park<\/a> amps things up with Marvel heroes, Pixar favourites and Cars Land thrills. Both theme parks make up Disney Land Resort<\/a>. Disneyland Resort celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, kicking off the festivities with a birthday extravaganza on May 16 and continuing the celebration all year long. Expect character-filled cavalcades, the return of Wondrous Journeys<\/a> fireworks and the dazzling light show Tapestry of Happiness<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Six Flags Great American \u2013 Gurnee, Illinois  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Powered by amusement park giant Six Flags, this mega-playground<\/a> promises non-stop excitement just 45 minutes outside Chicago<\/a>. Joining the impressive portfolio of G-force machines this year is the Wrath of Rakshasa, a dive coaster that will climb 180 feet, linger at the edge, then dive straight down with five upside-down loops<\/a>. Pro tip: If the USA is your playground for a holiday, and adrenaline is your game, opt for a Gold or Prestige pass with an All-Park<\/span> Passport add-on, which allows you to access the many Six Flags parks throughout the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
