Excitement is building as Universal Orlando’s newest theme park, Epic Universe, inches closer to its grand opening, now less than a year away! Among the park’s highly anticipated themed lands is the Isle of Berk, a dragon-filled world straight from the “How to Train Your Dragon” films. Thanks to aerial photos shared by X user bioreconstruct, we now have an incredible look at the progress being made on this fan-favorite land.

The level of detail that is going into this land, as well as the rest of the theme park is incredible. In the above image, you can really get the sense you will be completly immersed in the Isle of Berk from the moment you step into the land. From the paint scheme to teh decorations to the scale of the buildings and statues, each element is coming together beautifully!
This reverse view of the bay shows what guest will see when first entering the land. The two statues will greet you to the Isle of Berk (just like in the films) after you walk through the entrance portal.
The Viking Training Camp is also coming along nicely, with dragon theming now installed. Once completed, this area will house an interactive adventure play camp that young vikings will want to explore again and again.
The level of detail is once again on display with these dragon houses and ships that are being constructed in the land. Fans of the How To Train Your Dragon franchise will feel like they have stepped into their favorite films, while those who have not yet had the pleasure of enjoying the films will still enjoy the intricate theming the land will bring.
Epic Universe will open in 2025. Originally slated for Summer 2025, that timeline has since been revised to just be 2025 with speculation pointing towards a possible Spring 2025 opening for the park.
