Universal Studios Florida has reimagined its entrance soundtrack, filling the air with new musical themes that immerse guests in the magic of cinema and tease the future of the resort. The updated background music loop now features scores from popular films, creating a grand welcome as visitors step under the iconic arches.
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.
The updated entrance loop also includes familiar tracks from Harry Potter, such as “Harry in Winter” and “Buckbeak’s Flight.” These melodies help bridge the existing Wizarding World attractions with what’s coming to Epic Universe. Other cinematic scores, including music from Jurassic World and The Secret Life of Pets, have been added to the playlist, creating an atmosphere that celebrates Universal’s commitment to film-based storytelling.
The refreshed soundtrack is more than just background music—it sets the tone for the day ahead and hints at the epic adventures that Universal fans will experience in the coming years. For many visitors, standing under the arches and hearing these iconic scores makes their visit feel cinematic from the very start. With the countdown to Epic Universe officially underway, Universal Studios Florida’s new entrance music is the perfect way to build excitement for the future.
