In 2025, guests of all ages can soar with dragons in a colorful, fully-alive world filled with Viking adventures in How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk – one of the five worlds featured at the all-new Universal Epic Universe theme park. Here, guests will see what it’s like to live amongst dragons as they explore a larger-than-life world that includes exciting attractions, beloved character meet-and-greets, dining, shopping – and even flying dragons – based on DreamWorks Animation’s multi-award winning and Academy Award-nominated trilogy, “How to Train Your Dragon.”

VILLAGE PLAZA
In How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, guests will discover four attractions, one live show, and several character and dragon meet-and-greet experiences that offer something for every member of the family, including:
HICCUP'S WING GLIDERS
Hiccup’s Wing Gliders – On this family thrill coaster, Hiccup invites brave new Vikings to take a ride in his latest glider contraption – a winged flying machine that launches aspiring Dragon Riders into the sky for a dragon’s eye view of Berk. Guests will fly alongside Hiccup and Toothless and reach speeds up to 45 mph as they soar around the perimeter of Berk – and even through the lagoon – while experiencing firsthand what it’s like to fly on a dragon.
FYRE DRILL
Fyre Drill – Mischievous Viking twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut invite teams of Vikings to compete to outscore and out-soak each other on this wet-and-wild boat battle. Guests will board a colorful dragon-headed boat and blast water cannons at flame-like targets to practice putting out fires – a crucial skill to master when living with dragons.
DRAGON RACER'S RALLY
Dragon Racer’s Rally – Berk’s new Vikings racers can practice aerobatic maneuvers and high-speed barrel rolls on two Viking-made dragon-riding trainers that reach heights of up to 67 feet in the air. Guests can control how “wild” or “mild” their experience will be as they perform high-flying, gravity-defying, swooping and soaring skills that are necessary to earn the accolades worthy of a true champion dragon racer.
THE UNTRAINABLE DRAGON
The Untrainable Dragon – Inspired by Universal Beijing Resort’s wildly successful “Untrainable” show, this dragon-filled live spectacular takes guests on an unforgettable journey with beloved characters Hiccup, Toothless, Gobber, and Astrid as they work together to solve the mystery of The Untrainable Dragon. This heartwarming story comes to life with captivating musical numbers, breathtaking sets and life-sized dragons soaring overhead.
VIKING TRAINING CAMP
Viking Training Camp – Junior Vikings will learn everything they need to know about dragons as they climb, slide and explore their way through this sprawling interactive adventure play camp – featuring a Viking agility course, a Toothless-themed teeter-totter, baby Gronckle dragon climbers and so much more.
MEET & GREETS
Meet Hiccup and Toothless – Guests can visit the Haddock Paddock for an incredible meet-and-greet experience with heroic Dragon Rider, Hiccup, and pose for a photo with his friendly Night Fury, Toothless. Plus, throughout the day, guests may also encounter other familiar Vikings and dragons while exploring Berk.
MEAD HALL
The beating heart of Berk and the village’s main gathering hall, Mead Hall is where guests can feast like a Viking and enjoy a savory menu featuring a variety of meats, fish, sandwiches and more along with a collection of meads and ciders.
Universal Epic Universe will be made up of 5 different worlds… Upon entering the park, you’ll be transported into Celestial Park - a lush, green world where thrills, entertainment, dining and shopping lead all who enter on an exhilarating journey of discovery. Throughout Celestial Park, you’ll discover 4 portals awaiting to transport you into the other fully themed and immersive worlds - Super Nintendo World™, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ — Ministry of Magic™, How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe.
Set to open later in 2025, Universal Epic Universe will be Universal Orlando’s 4th theme park - Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. The new park is currently under construction across 750 acres of land just a few miles Southeast of Universal Orlando Resort between Sand Lake Rd., Universal Blvd., and Destination Pkwy. The park will feature its own parking and of course there will be transportation between Epic Universe and Universal's other parks and attractions.
As the anticipation continues to build, Universal Orlando Resort's Epic Universe promises to be a game-changer in the world of theme parks. We look forward to keeping you posted with new and exciting updates as we get them.
