Epic Universe’s How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk captures this sweet sentiment

by

Step into the grandeur of the Isle of Berk, the flagship world in the Epic Universe’s collection, and let the anticipation build as you pass through the portal. For me, a movie enthusiast, saying “we, my friends, have dragons” is much more than just stating a fact. It invites us to mingle with these majestic beasts and embark on unforgettable journeys together.

Modern theme park visitors seek an experience beyond mere high-speed automobile launches. It’s not just about the steel structures; it’s about the captivating sights, enchanting sounds, and even the enticing scents that permeate between queues, compelling guests to return repeatedly. Each visit offers a fresh, yet familiar, experience that adds to their lasting memories.

In the world of Epic Universe’s How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, the atmosphere radiates an infectious sense of excitement. To clarify, this isn’t a simple playground for children to run through a predetermined route. Instead, it’s a realm that captivates all ages, encouraging them to embrace their creativity and believe in the magic of endless possibilities.

As we approached the Media Preview Day on April 5th, a wave of excitement built up as we imagined the day when dragons would walk among humans for the first time. Just seeing an image failed to fully capture the thrill of that experience at the moment.

In the series, it’s not just the planned encounters with Hiccup that intrigue viewers, but rather the unexpected instances when other dragons emerge from hidden entrances that truly halt the action. These fleeting moments are what people recall fondly from the movies. Essentially, it’s about the peaceful coexistence of dragons and humans. Witnessing a young visitor tentatively approaching a dragon and seeing the subsequent grin can instantly lift one’s spirits.

Reminder for future: When greeting Hiccup, avoid clothing that might look like an eel. It seems to pique his appetite a bit. #EpicUniverse @UniversalORL

Absolutely, people crave excitement as part of their experiences. Hiccup’s Wing Gliders provide that feeling of effortless soaring. By offering a blend of thrill and accessibility, it ensures a fun, family-friendly adventure suitable for everyone. It offers just the right level of extremity to satisfy adults without pushing the speed limits too much.

For thrill-seekers, the Dragon Racer’s Rally offers an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure experience. Those who prefer a smoother ride can relax and enjoy the view without any bumps. On the other hand, adrenaline junkies can buckle up and relish every rollercoaster moment. Essentially, this attraction lets visitors customize their adventure within its world.

The Frye Drill ride, where guests can pretend to shoot at passing boats, is all about creating a unique, tailored adventure for each guest. Isn’t it appealing to finally get back at your pesky younger sibling who never stops complaining about hunger?

When it comes to food, all choices align perfectly with the theme. Even though Hiccup may favor eel, other delightful dishes are worth tasting for our guests. At Hooligan’s Grog and Gruel, the Mac and Cheese Cones create a memorable, shareable food experience. This hearty dish, filled with garlic bread-stuffed mac and cheese, is offered in three tantalizing varieties. Don’t forget to order a Carlsberg Danish Lager to complement this tasty treat!

In summary, the most expansive universe within the Epic Portfolio is one richly detailed and engaging across age groups. With each visit, fresh narratives unfold, ensuring the story remains vibrant and ongoing for future generations.

On May 22, 2025, the much-anticipated Epic Universe section of Universal Orlando Resort will officially open its gates. For all inquiries regarding tickets, costs, and reservations, please visit our theme park’s official website for detailed information.
