How many rides are in the Isle of Berk Orlando?

The land will feature four new attractions for guests – three rides and a live show.

Board Hiccup’s Wing Gliders and watch as he invites brave new Vikings to take a ride in his latest glider contraption – a winged flying machine that launches aspiring Dragon Riders into the sky for a dragon’s eye view of Berk.

“Guests will fly alongside Hiccup and Toothless and reach speeds up to 45 mph as they soar around the perimeter of Berk – and even through the lagoon – while experiencing firsthand what it’s like to fly on a dragon,” Universal writes about the family coaster.

Over at Fyre Drill, Viking twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut will invite teams of Vikings to compete to outscore and out-soak each other on this water ride. Guests will board a colorful dragon-headed boat and blast water cannons at flame-like targets to practice putting out fires.

Lastly, Dragon Racer’s Rally lets new Viking racers practice aerobatic maneuvers and high-speed barrel rolls on two Viking-made dragon-riding trainers that reach heights of up to 67 feet in the air.

“Guests can control how ‘wild or ‘mild’ their experience will be as they perform high-flying, gravity-defying, swooping and soaring skills that are necessary to earn the accolades worthy of a true champion dragon racer,” according to Universal.

What is ‘The Untrainable Dragon’ at Epic Universe?

The Untrainable Dragon will be a live show inspired by the popular “Untrainable” show at Universal Beijing Resort.

“This dragon-filled live spectacular takes guests on an unforgettable journey with beloved characters Hiccup, Toothless, Gobber, and Astrid as they work together to solve the mystery of The Untrainable Dragon,” according to Universal.
