We’re slowly getting more and more details about the five lands coming to Universal Epic Universe when it opens at Universal Orlando Resort in 2025. And today it’s the turn of How To Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk!
This immersive land will transport guests into the colourful world of Viking adventures that they know and love from the How To Train Your Dragon film franchise, discovering what it’s like to live among dragons as soon as you step through the entrance portal. How To Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk is said to be “One of the most breathtaking environments Universal has ever created - complete with immense architecture featuring hand-carved details, lush landscaping, and extraordinary heights of rolling hills surrounding vibrant dragon houses and local establishments.”
But how will this be done? With a vast lagoon boasting two 40-foot-tall Viking statues surrounded by four attractions, entertainment offerings, character meet and greets and themed dining locations. Here’s what we know:
How To Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk Attractions
Hiccup’s Wing Gliders
This family thrill coaster will take new Vikings on a ride in Hiccup’s latest glider contraption. Flying alongside Hiccup and Toothless over Berk, you’ll reach speeds of up to 45mph around the perimeter of the isle… and even through the lagoon!
Fyre Drill
Join mischievous twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut to compete in this wet and wild boat battle! Aboard a colourful dragon-headed boat you and your friends and family will blast water cannons at flame-like targets to practice putting out fires. Can you outscore and out-soak each other?
Dragon Racer’s Rally
Practice aerobatic manoeuvres and high-speed barrel rolls on two dragon-riding trainers that soar up to 67 feet in the air. You can control how wild or mild your experience is as you perform gravity-defying moves worthy of a true champion dragon racer.
Viking Training Camp
Even junior Vikings can start their dragon training at How To Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk! This adventure play camp will have them climbing, sliding and exploring on a Viking agility course, Toothless-themed teeter-totter and baby Gronckle dragon climbers.

Meet Hiccup and Toothless
Guests will be able to head to the Haddock Paddock to meet the heroic dragon rider Hiccup himself, alongside his Night Fury Toothless. And there’ll be some familiar Viking and dragon facings roaming around the isle as well - you never know who you might meet!

We can’t wait to experience all these attractions and shows when How To Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk opens at Universal Epic Universe in 2025… and there’s even more excitement to come with details of the other lands still to be announced!
But if you’re visiting in 2024 you could still experience something new with the immersive DreamWorks Land opening at Universal Studios Florida this summer, featuring Trolls, Shrek, and Kung Fu Panda.
