It feels like it’s been so long since the first official news broke of Universal’s Epic Universe confirmed lands. Then, we had a whole floodgate of information run through about the first land you’ll encounter as you step through its gates — Celestial Park.

We’ve been keeping a close watch over the construction progress over at Epic Universe watching for any further details that might lead to more clues about the next announcement to come. Universal teased that more information would be on its way for the remaining lands and what would be confirmed in each. With their latest round of announcements, we’re learning even more about what will await us in How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk!

Just recently Universal teased us with plans for another massive announcement to be made about Epic Universe on March 28th, 2024. Shortly afterwards though, we received some mail which gave us a hint at what we could expect to hear more about with the coming update.

We already knew How To Train Your Dragon — Isle Of Berk would be a stellar (see what we did there?) addition to Universal’s new park but we weren’t quite sure yet what we could expect to find in this land! Universal did tease in a promotional video that visiting this land would allow people to experience “the ultimate wish fulfillment of flying dragons” and now it seems they’re ready to tell us more about it! Let’s dive into what you need to know!

Rides

Isle of Berk will bring several new attractions to Epic Universe, each more exciting sounding than the last.

• 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.
  • Riders will need to be 40 inches tall to experience this coaster. Children under 48 inches must be accompanied by a supervising companion

• 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. This ride does not have a height requirement!

• 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 minimum height requirement for this ride is 48 inches.

• 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.

After you’ve experienced all these attractions, we’re sure you’ve worked up an appetite!

Restaurants

Don’t forget about what you’ll be able to eat in the new Isle of Berk land!

• 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.
