Awards Galore: Epic Universe and John Wick Experience Shine
Las Vegas, USAThu Nov 20 2025
The International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions (IAAPA) Expo is where the amusement park world comes together to celebrate the best in themed entertainment. This year, Universal's Epic Universe stole the show, but another winner caught everyone's attention.
Epic Universe grabbed a whopping 20% of the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) awards. It won big for being an outstanding theme park, alongside Legoland Shanghai. The Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry ride also got an award, which is no surprise since it's a fan favorite. Even Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment got some love.
But let's talk about the John Wick Experience in Las Vegas. It's not your typical theme park ride, but it's a fantastic example of themed entertainment done right. Located in Area15, this experience takes you into the world of John Wick with sets, props, and actors. You can either jump in and role-play or just enjoy the show.
What's cool is that the John Wick Experience shows how themed entertainment can go beyond traditional theme parks. It's a great reminder that there's so much more to explore in this world. And with awards like these, it's clear that creativity and innovation are being recognized and celebrated.
