As if three amusement parks weren't enough, Universal Orlando has officially announced that the company's adding another source of thrills to its lineup—and this park will be its biggest yet.

The park, known as Epic Universe, "will offer an entirely new level of experiences that will forever redefine theme park entertainment." That may sound like a tall order, and the company's planning on living up to that promise by creating more than a traditional theme park: There will also be an entertainment center, hotels, shops, and restaurants. At face value, that may sound a lot like CityWalk, the shopping and hotel complex that surrounds Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in the Sunshine State. But this one will be all new—and therefore, different.

Along with the name and a description of the new park, Universal also gave the public a peek at what the layout will look like. While the exact theme hasn't been revealed, it's safe to say it will be...magical.

The gigantic park won't sit alongside the other three parks, but will be situated on a larger, 750-acre plot nearby, according to the Washington Post. Universal reps haven't revealed just how big the theme park portion will be, or what kind of rides to expect, or even when, exactly, it will open. Stay tuned! We'll update this story as we know more.
