Universal Orlando Reveals New Details About How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk Coming to Universal Epic Universe
How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk will be one of the five worlds that makes up Epic Universe. Today, Universal revealed new details about the colorful, fully alive world filled with Viking adventures.
Universal Destinations & Experiences revealed new details about How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, coming to Universal Epic Universe in 2025.
In the Isle of Berk, 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.
Developed in partnership between Universal Creative and the filmmakers from DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures, How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk captures the heart, humor, and scale of the films within an authentic re-creation of the rugged, rocky world where raucous Vikings and rambunctious dragons live together in hilarious harmony. The Isle of Berk will be one of the most breathtaking environments Universal has ever created.
The land will feature four attractions, one live show, and several character and dragon meet-and-greet experiences that offer something for every member of the family.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
Spit Fyre Grill
Overlooking the action of the Fyre Drill water attraction, Spit Fyre Grill is a quick-service dining location featuring delicious, hearty meals flame-seared by a helpful (unseen) dragon fry cook.
Hooligan’s Grog & Gruel
Guests can grab quick bites at this festive racing-themed food stand located in the Viking Camp.
The land will also feature highly-themed shops like Viking Traders, How to Treat Your Dragon, Hiccup’s Work Shop, and Toothless’ Treasures.
How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk opens in 2025 at Universal Epic Universe.
