Epic Universe Projected to Reach 9.2 Million Visitors in 2026

Industry projections published in early 2026 forecast Epic Universe attendance climbing from 5.2 million guests in its debut year to 9.2 million in 2026. Monthly averages for January, February, and March are projected to be the three highest attendance months in the park's short history.

The growth is driven by visitors who waited out the first-year crush and new multi-day ticket options that make Epic Universe more accessible. The park's maximum daily ticket availability is capped at around 22,000 guests.

If the projections hold, Epic Universe would rank among the top 10 most-visited theme parks in the world in only its second year of operation, a remarkable achievement for any new park.
