Universal has officially announced details of How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, one of the lands coming to the new Epic Universe theme park. The full reveal for the land includes attractions, restaurants, and shops. Take a closer look at the latest Epic Universe announcement.
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
Guests will enter How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk through a portal in Celestial Park. The portals are designed to transport you to the different worlds of Epic Universe. This dragon-topped portal will lead you into the Isle of Berk. The land offers 4 attractions, along with shopping and dining.
Attractions
Hiccup’s Wing Gliders
On this soaring coaster, guests are taking a ride in Hiccup’s new glider contraption: a winged flying machine that launches aspiring Dragon Riders into the sky for a dragon’s eye view of Berk.
Dragon Racer’s Rally
At Dragon Racer’s Rally, guests can practice aerobatic maneuvers and high-speed barrel rolls on a Viking-made dragon-riding trainer in hopes of becoming champion dragon-racers.
This high-thrill flying attraction features a ride system new to Universal Destinations & Experiences and is themed after the worst dragon racer from the series, Snotlout, and the best dragon racer, Astrid.
Fyre Drill
In this wild and wet ride, Ruffnut & Tuffnut (the films’ often hysterical twin duo) have transformed Berk’s Fyre Skööl into a boat battle where teams of Vikings compete to outscore and outsoak each other while trying to hit over 130 moving targets found throughout the attraction. Located in the middle of the world within the lagoon, guests will be able to see the attraction from multiple different angles.
Viking Training Camp
Junior Vikings will discover all types of dragons as they climb, slide and explore their way through a sprawling interactive adventure camp and kids play area hosted by Fishlegs, Isle of Berk’s resident dragon expert.
The Untrainable Dragon
In this live show featuring beloved characters (including Hiccup, Gobber and Astrid), a new dragon shows up on the Isle of Berk and the Vikings think they may have finally met their match with the mystery of the untrainable dragon. A show highlight includes Toothless flying directly overhead.
“I’m really excited to watch Toothless fly because he’s pretty impressive and exciting,” says Pacitti. “In addition, the untrainable dragon is just beautiful.”
“The Untrainable Dragon” stage show will be similar to “Untrainable,” a show at Universal Studios Beijing, this show will be set in a different time period and feature varied characters.
Meet and Greets
Dragons are alive and active in How To Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk with dragon and character meet and greets found throughout the world.
Probably the most anticipated moment will be meeting and taking pictures with Toothless and Hiccup in a tranquil clearing created to honor the bond between dragon and Viking.
“I do think that the Toothless meet and greet is what’s going to knock everybody’s socks off,” Pacitti says. “It’s going to be a guest experience that sets a new standard.”
Dragons and iconic characters can also be spotted throughout the world with highlights including:
Astrid and her Deadly Nadder, Stormfly as well as Ruffnut and Tuffnut can be seen roaming throughout the world interacting with guests.
Gobber and his beloved Hotburple dragon Grump take center stage in the Forge.
Restaurants
As guests will find throughout Universal Epic Universe, the immersive world experience continues through dining. Within How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, eating like a Viking is key for guests to keep up their energy for dragon adventures.
Mead Hall is the beating heart of Berk. This massive hall is a larger-than-life space and the village’s main gathering place. A grand chamber hewn from mountain rock, with a giant grand chandelier hanging overhead, here Vikings can feast on hearty meals and can enjoy unique beers and mead created just for this fast casual restaurant.
More details will be revealed about merchandise and dining at a later date.
