If you’re planning a visit to Universal Epic Universe this fall and have your sights set on soaring with Toothless, you’ll want to check your travel dates.

Universal has scheduled the Broadway-style production to be unavailable from September 15 through September 20, 2026. While the closure lasts less than a week, the resort has not announced what work will be taking place during the downtime. The show is expected to return following the brief refurbishment.
Located in How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, The Untrainable Dragon follows Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, and Gobber as they work together to unravel the mystery surrounding a mysterious new dragon. The approximately 20-minute production combines elaborate sets, music, special effects, and breathtaking puppetry to bring the beloved DreamWorks franchise to life.
The highlight for many guests comes when a full-sized Toothless soars over the audience during the performance. The incredible puppet weighs more than 1,150 pounds and boasts an impressive wingspan of nearly 27 feet, creating one of the most memorable moments anywhere in Epic Universe.

The show first debuted at Universal Studios Beijing before making its U.S. premiere at Epic Universe, where it has quickly become one of the park’s signature attractions. If you’re visiting during the refurbishment dates, you’ll still find plenty to experience throughout Isle of Berk, including Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, Fyre Drill, Viking Training Camp, and opportunities to meet your favorite dragon-loving Vikings.
