One of the most exciting updates is the inclusion of tracks from How to Train Your Dragon. Guests have reported hearing pieces like “Test Drive,” a thrilling score that captures the heart and adventure of the beloved DreamWorks series. This addition comes at the perfect time, as Epic Universe—Universal Orlando’s upcoming theme park—is set to feature a How to Train Your Dragon land where visitors can experience life in Berk alongside their favorite dragons.

Epic Universe, opening in 2025, is Universal’s largest expansion yet and promises to deliver unmatched immersive experiences. In addition to the dragon-themed land, the park will introduce a new Wizarding World of Harry Potter area, rumored to feature the Ministry of Magic, as well as a Universal Monsters land where guests will come face-to-face with classic legends like the Mummy and Dracula. Another highlight is Super Nintendo World, where fans can enter a vibrant, interactive world filled with characters from beloved Nintendo games.
