Isn’t it wild to think that Universal’s Epic Universe is less than a month away from celebrating its first anniversary?! We’re anticipating the park will be busier this summer now that it’s been open for almost a year.

Epic Universe!

It looks like Universal wants to make sure everything is in tip-top shape for the summer, because a popular attraction is closing next week and targeting to reopen JUST in time for the one-year date! Sorry, How to Train Your Dragon fans, but becoming a Viking will have to be on hold during May.

We LOVE the Isle of Berk, inspired by the movie How to Train Your Dragon. The entire land makes you feel like you’re walking in the iconic film, from set pieces to actual dragons. If you have a trip to Epic Universe coming up, there’s no way you can skip out on this land. It features multiple attractions and experiences to check out.

Unfortunately, one of the experiences in the land will be closed starting next week. The popular attraction for little ones, Viking Training Camp, will close on May 4th. It won’t open again until the one-year anniversary date of the park, which is May 22nd.

It’s not necessarily a go-to attraction out of everything the land has to offer, but it’s definitely a fun area, especially for little Vikings. It’s one of the best places for kiddos to let out some extra energy and see some cool dragon-themed stuff.

If you do come to the land during this attraction’s closure, you’ll still have the three main rides to check out, including Hiccups Wing Gliders, Fyre Drill, and Dragon Racer’s Rally. That’s really what everyone goes to Berk for, but we understand wanting to see everything Epic Universe has to offer.

For those coming to Epic Universe in May, just be aware that the Viking Training Camp isn’t the only attraction that will be closed. Stepping out of Berk into Super Nintendo World, we’re heading over to Donkey Kong Country.

Mine-Cart Madness will be closing next week on May 3rd. This closure is going to hit a lot more than the one in Berk, as this attraction is one of the biggest in the whole park. Fortunately, the closure won’t last that long, but as a massive ride at the park, this one will definitely throw a wrench in plans.
