Disney4me Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 We have finally had a chance to see Universal Orlando’s new theme park, Epic Universe, for ourselves. ©Universal Although we couldn’t take any photos of everything we got to see and do, we still got to experience it, and let’s just say SO much of the new park really surprised us. However, one of our favorite lands could be How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk. Now, we got to ride the rides and see the sights (the dragons!) and we’re ranking those experiences. Hiccup’s Wing Gliders Yes, we already have a favorite ride in this land and it’s Hiccup’s Wing Gliders. This ride puts you on a wingled contraption designed by Hiccup to send you flying into the air where you’ll encounter Hiccup and Toothless along the way. It’s a little bit of a longer coaster, but it’s such a smooth ride, and we loved it. ©Universal Y’all…this ride is FUN and one of our top three rides in ALL of Epic Universe. This one will be worth the long waits. 6 Things That SHOCKED Us on Our First Trip to Epic Universe Hiccup and Toothless Meet and Greet Is this the most popular meet and greet in all of Epic Universe? Well, probably, but who doesn’t want to meet Hiccup and Toothless? This is a chance to get up close and personal with both (especially Toothless) and get THE photo of the trip. ©Universal We’ve been blown away with just how good and immersive the meet and greets in Epic Universe really are, and this one will not disappoint fans of the How To Train Your Dragon movies. The Longest Line at Epic Universe Is NOT for a Ride Fyre Drill Okay, we know water rides aren’t everyone’s thing, but on those hot Florida days, might as well get soaked while having fun, right? The idea behind Fyre Drill is that the Viking twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, have transformed Berk’s Fyre Skööl into a wet interactive boat battle. Once you board your ship, you will blast your water cannons at flame-like targets…and other boats. ©Universal Let’s just say it’s impossible not to get wet on this ride, but we can imagine this ride is going to be SUPER popular come summer. CONFIRMED: The Locker Rule You Need To Know About at Epic Universe The Untrainable Dragon In this new show, a new dragon has shown up on the Isle of Berk. This new dragon seems untrainable, although that doesn’t stop Hiccup and Toothless, along with Gobber and Astric, from trying to figure out what’s going on with this new dragon species. ©Universal This show is a real kid-pleaser, although we enjoyed it, too. There are dragons, battle sequences, and even baby dragons. It’s a super likeable show, although you go for the “wow” factor because we’re not sure that this would capture your attention over and over again. Dragon Racer’s Rally Hop on a Viking-made dragonriding trainer to practice aerobatic movements and barrel rolls on Dragon Racer’s Rally. Be warned, though: this ride is a LOT of work. We were disappointed with this ride because it looks super fun, but the wing controls are HEAVY and you have to really use some strength to get them to work. ©Universal We would imagine this would be even harder to work on a super windy day, but to do all those maneuvers, you’re going to have to use some strength because you have to keep the wings going the whole time. We Just Visited Epic Universe for the First Time EVER and We Have So Much to Tell You! Now this isn’t ALL this land has to offer — there are also restaurants, as well as the Viking Training Camp (which is a playground), but from what we got to experience, this is how we’d rank everything. We’ll be returning to Epic Universe, though, later and we’ll be sure to get you updated details on EVERYTHING, so stay tuned to DFB for more. It’s Official.
