Jackie Gailey

Universal’s brand-new park, Epic Universe, officially opens on May 22, 2025, and we are so excited to give you a sneak peek inside! One of the five immersive worlds guests can explore is How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, where the beloved animated universe comes to life in epic detail.

Berk is a rugged, rocky island perched above churning seas. In this colorful village, Vikings and dragons live together in harmony. Visitors can board a coaster to soar through the skies like a dragon, take to the sea for water-soaked boat battles, and be entertained by the antics of the village’s fire-breathing residents.

Attractions

  • Hiccup’s Wing Gliders attraction – from Hiccup’s workshop comes his latest contraption: a winged flying machine that launches aspiring Dragon Riders into the air, swooping, soaring, and encountering Hiccup and Toothless. Get ready to board Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, a fun coaster that invites Vikings to prove they’re brave enough to speed through the sky with dragons.
  • Fyre Drill attraction – Villagers have to be prepared with fire-breathing dragons everywhere. Viking twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut have transformed Berk’s Fyre Skööl into a watery, interactive boat battle at sea. Board your ship in Fyre Drill and blast your water cannons at flame-like targets – and the occupants of every other boat – to outsoak other Vikings.
  • Dragon Racer’s Rally attraction: The sport of dragon racing is a celebrated pastime on the Isle of Berk. At Dragon Racer’s Rally, Berk’s new Vikings can practice aerobatic maneuvers and high-speed barrel rolls on a Viking-made dragon-riding trainer. You’ll need these high-flying, gravity-defying, swooping, and soaring skills if you hope to become a champion dragon racer.
