10 Things You NEED To Know About Universal's Epic Universe Theme Park
5. Soar The Skies With How To Train Your Dragon
The incredibly popular How to Train Your Dragon franchise will also be finding a home at Epic Universe.
After entering through the land's portal you'll find yourself transported to the Isle of Berk, Here you'll find a place where Vikings and Dragons have come to live in harmony. With beautiful carvings, "lush landscaping" and even a dragon or two soaring overhead.
This land of adventure is the home of four different attractions. You'll find yourself flying high on "Dragon Racer's Rally," racing through Berk on the "Hiccup's Wing Gliders" coaster, put out dragon flames on the "Fyre Drill" boats and also take in the "Untrainable Dragon" show.
"Dragon Racer's Rally" allows Berk's Vikings to practice some of their high flying dragon riding manoeuvres. You can decide how "mild" or "wild" you want the experience to be as you glide and swoop through the skies of Berk.
On board the boats of "Fyre Drill" you'll compete in teams as the Viking twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut create a water ride that sees you battling flames and learn just how to put out dragon flames.
Coaster fans will be pleased to see "Hiccup's Wing Gliders." This coaster will take you on a 45 mph family thrill ride through Berk. You'll get to know just how it feels to ride a dragon as you race around the land and across the lagoon, all with Hiccup and Toothless as your companions.
Over in Universal Studios Bejing the How To Train Your Dragon themed show has taken the park by storm, so of course Isle of Berk at Epic Universe would be getting their own version of the show. "The Untrainable Dragon" takes you on a journey with "characters Hiccup, Toothless, Gobber, and Astrid" as they try to "solve the mystery of The Untrainable Dragon." As part of the show you'll see dragons not just on stage, but overhead.
"The Untrainable Dragon" isn't the only place you can see dragons, if you look up you may catch sight of one in the park! You can also get up close and personal with Toothless and rider Hiccup in their own meet and greet.
It also wouldn't be a viking land without a "Mead Hall." Here you will gather alongside fellow Vikings for a feast like no other!
