Overview
- Universal said Friday the Epic Universe Preview Center will close Monday, April 13, with the Universal Legacy Store set to reopen in late April.
- The Burger King Whopper Bar will serve its last guests Tuesday, April 21, and Five Guys will take over the space later this summer with no opening date announced.
- The returning Legacy Store will focus on retro Universal favorites with merch and photo spots tied to E.T., Jaws, Back to the Future, and Universal Monsters.
- Several outlets note the swap from Burger King to Five Guys could raise meal costs for visitors because Five Guys meals often run about $15 to $20 per person.
- Looking ahead, Luke Combs’ Category 10 live-music venue is planned for a new CityWalk waterfront site in late 2027, roughly 33,000 square feet over three stories with construction targeted to start this summer.
