Details Revealed: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

Universal kicked off the modern theme park ‘immersive’ trend with The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in 2010 – and now, it plans to up the ante. In 2025, as part of EPIC Universe, Universal Orlando Resort will debut its third installment of Harry Potter-themed lands with The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. The central ride ‘Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry’ is Universal’s most ambitious ride and promises to take guests across countries and time to 1990s London using the Métro-Floo for a thrilling adventure inside the iconic British Ministry of Magic. Meanwhile, in a remarkably fast turnaround, Disneyland workers ratified a new contract, setting base wages at $24 an hour.
