Soar with Dragons at Universal Orlando - Epic Universe

Rides, shows and dining coming to Isle of Berk at Universal Orlando

Universal Orlando shared more details on Epic Universe - How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk. Something that stood out right away is that this land is rich in rides, and not virtual or motion simulator rides - actual rides! Dining options look amazing with a grand hall and character meet and greets.

On Berk, a rough and rocky island towering over turbulent waters, resides a vibrant village where Vikings and dragons coexist peacefully.

Here, your family can embark on a thrilling coaster ride to glide through the skies resembling dragons, engage in water battles at sea, and enjoy the lively spectacles presented by the fire-breathing inhabitants of the village.

Will Hiccup’s Wing Gliders be a Launch Coaster?

Dragon Racers Rally

At Dragon Racer’s Rally, Berk’s new Vikings can practice aerobatic maneuvers and high-speed barrel rolls on a massive swing ride. Universal says this swing will go upside down and that riders will be able to make it as wild or mild as they wish.

This ride looks similar to the swing rides built by S&S, a similar perhaps to Dollywood’s Barnestomer ride.

Fyer Drill

Take to the sea for a new water ride where you’ll aim water cannons at targets and other objects (maybe even each other). Think Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin or Men in Black but with water!
