Attractions
Hiccup’s gliders – On this family-friendly roller coaster, Hiccup invites guests to take a ride on his latest gliding contraption: a flying machine with wings that launches would-be Dragon Riders into the sky. The toy reaches 72 km/h as it hovers around the themed area, even passing very close to the lagoon.
The untrainable dragon – Inspired by the hit show Untrainable from Universal Park in Beijing, this live show revolves around the characters Hiccup, Toothless, Gobber and Astrid, who work together to solve a mystery. The company promises a show with musical numbers, grandiose sets and flights of life-size dragons.
Fire drill – Mischievous Viking twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut invite guests to compete and submerge each other in a boat battle. The idea is that participants climb into a colorful dragon-headed boat and fire water cannons at targets that mimic flames. All to practice fighting fires, a fundamental skill to master when living with dragons.
Dragon Runner Rally – There will be two rotating toys, facing each other, which also perform a pendulum movement, reaching up to 20 meters in height. In the park’s narrative, the contraptions would be dragon racing machines made by the Vikings for high-speed aerobatic and spinning maneuvers. According to Universal, guests will be able to control how “wild” or “gentle” their experience will be.
Viking training camp – The attraction is more aimed at younger children, who will be able to climb, slide and explore different paths in a playground that simulates a Viking camp. Universal promises an agility track, a Toothless-themed swing and little Gronckle dragon climbers.
Meet Hiccup and Toothless – This is where the official photo-taking meetings with Hiccup and Toothless will take place. But the thematic area should also receive surprise visits from other characters, be they Vikings or dragons.
Restaurants and shops
Mead Hall – Located in the beating heart of Berk, where the village’s main meeting hall is located, the restaurant promises an extensive menu of meat, fish and sandwiches and is also expected to serve mead and cider.
Spit grill – Overlooking the Fyre Drill water attraction, the quick-service restaurant will focus on grilled meats.
Hooligan’s Grog and Gruel – Visitors will be able to grab quick snacks at this themed kiosk, located in the Viking training ground.
Stores – There will be four, all with franchising themed products: Viking traders, How to treat your dragon, Hiccup’s workshop AND Toothless’ treasures.
