He said the new park will be minutes away from the existing Universal Orlando Resort.
"It is an epic day in Orange County," Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said.
Williams said the new park will help Universal Orlando Resort win the battle to attract visitors flocking to theme parks in the Orlando area.
He said that last time he checked, "a universe is a little bigger than a world."
