Universal Orlando has spent around $7 billion on its new theme park Epic Universe, and it shows. I was among hundreds of media members from across the world invited to preview the new park on Saturday.

We run through everything you'll find at Universal Orlando's Epic Universe, from Mario Kart rides to the Ministry of Magic, Frankenstein's castle and cute dragon animatronics.

A new Universal theme park near Bedford - the first in Europe - was announced to much fanfare earlier this week. Set to open in 2031, construction is to begin at the 476-acre (1.9-sq-km) site, where attractions are likely to feature James Bond, Paddington and The Lord of the Rings.
