Soar with Toothless and Hiccup at Universal Epic Universe, which will soon boast an imaginative world of Vikings inspired by DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon. Details for the Isle of Berk area, one of the five new cinematic portals of Universal Orlando’s newest theme park, have just been revealed—and if you’re a fan of the fantasy franchise and excited for the live-action adaptation, you’ll want to visit when the park opens in 2025, because here there be dragons!
How to Train Your Dragon’s Isle of Berk is gearing up to be an incredible recreation of the DreamWorks film’s Viking dragon village by the sea, with its rocky terrain and carved statues and shacks. Leave it up to Universal Creative to give us a fully true-to-the-film world to explore. We’re especially excited about the animatronic dragons that will be placed throughout the land and attractions—if you’ve encountered the dinos at Jurassic Park’s Islands of Adventure or in the queue for the Velocicoaster, these dragons are sure to feel just as lifelike (but not as scary, we’d assume).
Additionally, three thrilling rides will headline the Isle of Berk: Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, a coaster; Fyre Drill, an interactive water boat adventure; and Dragon Racer’s Rally, a high-flying but kid-friendly ride. There will also be a performance inspired by Universal Beijing Resorts’s technological stage wonder Untrainable, a re-telling of Hiccup’s tale of meeting Toothless.
Take a look at the gallery ahead to see what to expect in the world where dragons and people can hang out (without, you know, actual fire danger) and get conceptual glimpses at the attractions, character meet-and-greets, dining, shopping, and more.
