HICCUP'S WING GLIDERS: Universal's Epic Universe, How To Train Your Dragon Roller Coaster

POV of Hiccup's Wing Gliders, How To Train Your Dragon Land ISLE OF BERK, Roller Coaster found at Epic Universe, the new Universal Studios Orlando theme park. Opening 2025. "Get a dragon’s eye view as Hiccup’s latest flying contraption sends you soaring above and around the Isle of Berk, encountering Hiccup, Toothless and other dragons along the way." -Universal Studios

The attraction features a number of airhills and launches and no inversions. This is the projected layout, small changes have since been noticed in banking. Scale of the ride from above is accurate via google maps and public permits. #rollercoaster #pov #epicuniverse #orlando #rides

The buildings and rockwork shown that interact with the attraction match the shape and size found on permits, however, the theming is just a placeholder.

Layout: The ride begins in the back of the land, and eventually winds itself over the central water feature of the land, under a bridge, and into an overbank and helix found just next to the Portal Entry into the land. Into a second launch under rockwork, the ride goes behind a pair of Gerstlauer flat rides, the Sky Fly, and through some final airhills and double down's before a final overbank into the brakes.

Honestly as a coaster enthusiast I'm happy to see more lesser intense rides be added to parks and given attention/care. It will create a new generation of coaster lovers!

It reminds me of Cheetah Hunt. I love it. Not every coaster has to be intense. This looks like a lot of fun and it’s pretty long.

Now we’re talking!!! Themed to my all time favorite animated franchise - my childhood. Very excited! 🐉

Love how Universal Orlando has been going all in with Intamin recently! (then again, good to see Intamin in general seeming to have an overall resurgence!)

[seriomarkj]

Universal loves thier long ass coasters.. looks awesome

[Twilley]

It's like mini hagrid/maverick/cheetah hunt.

Mack rides and intimin just switched places when designing their coasters for epic universe

[woutertermaat]

Feels like a family version of Maverick, nice!

[Tomtycoon]

How crazy that Mack gets to build the Thrill launch coaster at the park, and Intamin gets the family coaster.

The should have designed that tunnel scene as if it was a cave with a bunch of rock work. They could design it as a thrill scene element where “it’s caving in” & the riders just barely make it through. Could do moving boulders that move similar to Thunder Mountains 2nd chain lift scene. Lights & jammed up sound effects & even possibly like water elements that squirt water to add even more to the elements of the tunnel caving in.

Thanks, you save the mack next to this ride, perfect touch 👌
It's look so real good job

[EpicLemonMusic]

You guys were like 65% right which is pretty good not knowing. This will be great, the theming is looking top tier.

[bluehoudini]

A real intense family ride, is what I got from this.

[nellingwood]

This looks way more exciting than the Werewolf one. This almost looks like a family Velicocoaster.

[coastarider]

Ngl, this looks like it gives some ejector on 2 hills. Looks like cheetah hunt scaled down a notch.

Universal Orlando: the lands of the multi launch coasters

[AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

I love the HTTYD franchise, so I automatically love this.

[JamesonThomas]

Looks good but a wacky worm would have been better

[Destinychanged]

Looks like Hagrids in terms of thrill level. Fast without inversions.

[CJD]

Should make it a B&M “Wing” Coaster
