Something NEW Showed Up in Universal’s Epic Universe and We’re FREAKING OUT

Epic Universe is well under construction and looking great!

Construction of Epic Universe @bioreconstruct

The new Universal theme park is set to open in 2025 with five new lands — Celestial Park, Dark Universe, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, and How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk. We’ve been keeping tabs on the construction and noticing when rides have been constructed, and other details show up. Recently, we noticed something black, toothless, and winged pop up that is quite adorable!

If you’ve ever seen How To Train Your Dragon, then you’re probably familiar with the list of characters. Hiccup is the main character, Astrid is the tough warrior betrothed to Hiccup, and then there’s the rest of the gang — Stoick, Tuffnut, Fishlegs, and more. Each of these characters gets themselves a dragon in the first movie to fly and fight with. Hiccup finds one of the most rare dragons of all time who actually acts more like a cat than a ferocious dragon.

That amazing, adorable, wonderful, ferocious dragon is none other than Toothless, the star of the movies! He’s a fan-favorite character in the film, and for good reason, he’s amazing.

Well, it appears that Toothless has officially made his way to Epic Universe! In a post on X, Bioreconstruct caught a glimpse of Toothless situated in How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk.

Universal has previously shared that Toothless will be available for guests to meet in How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, and it seems he has found his way to his perch in the new land.

We can’t wait to meet Toothless! His toothless grin very adorable along with his loving nature. The new How To Train Your Dragon land will feature Viking statues, a sparkling lagoon, three rides, three dining locations, meet-and-greets, a new show, a kids’ play area, and lots of shopping options. It will feature details from the first and second How To Train Your Dragon movies, which we are really excited to experience ourselves!

We’ll be watching for more exciting details to show up at Epic Universe as construction begins. Universal has yet to reveal an official opening day of the new park, but we’re keeping our eyes and ears open for any new information!
