00:00:00.311 --> 00:00:02.970
(exhilarating music)

2
00:00:02.970 --> 00:00:04.410
<v ->Universal Epic Universe</v>

3
00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:07.920 line:15% 
is Universal Orlando Resort's newest theme park

4
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:10.560 line:15% 
and will bring to life five immersive worlds

5
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:11.940
filled with adventures

6
00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:14.850
that go beyond your wildest imagination.

7
00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:17.280
In How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk,

8
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.600
you'll soar with dragons

9
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.852
in a colorful world of Viking adventures.

10
00:00:21.852 --> 00:00:23.190
(Toothless roars)

11
00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:26.970 line:15% 
<v ->I absolutely fell in love with the movies.</v>

12
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:28.680 line:15% 
<v ->Seeing "How to Train Your Dragon" with my kids</v>

13
00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:31.230 line:15% 
was an incredible, heartfelt moment.

14
00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:32.760 line:15% 
<v ->Coming out of the theater</v>

15
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:34.200 line:15% 
and going into work the next day,

16
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.480 line:15% 
it's like, "We have to build this.

17
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:38.850 line:15% 
I wanna build Berk."
<v ->Building a theme park</v>

18
00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:41.583 line:15% 
is like building a mini version of the world.

19
00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Ryan>When you walk through the portal</v>

20
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:45.600
into the Isle of Berk,

21
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.280
you're introduced to a sweeping view of the island itself,

22
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.530
almost right out of the movies.

23
00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:54.120
And that shot, in my opinion,

24
00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:55.860
is actually one of the best in the park.

25
00:00:55.860 --> 00:00:59.400
<v ->You are no longer a family unit. You are Vikings.</v>

26
00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:01.740
<v Hiccup>This is Berk.</v>

27
00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:03.510
<v ->How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk</v>

28
00:01:03.510 --> 00:01:06.540
takes place between the second and third movies.

29
00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:08.850
We call it Berk 2.5.

30
00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:10.800
<v Eric>This is the golden age of harmony</v>

31
00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:13.290
between Vikings and dragons.

32
00:01:13.290 --> 00:01:16.050
You'll be able to see some of your favorite characters.

33
00:01:16.050 --> 00:01:19.080
You'll be able to see dragons walking around,

34
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:21.570
and all the color of the dragons has been infused

35
00:01:21.570 --> 00:01:25.620
throughout our land, in the buildings and the attractions.

36
00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:27.310
<v Katy>Speaking with DreamWorks</v>

37
00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:29.580
and some of the art directors,

38
00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:32.610
they were the ones who really instilled in us

39
00:01:32.610 --> 00:01:36.240
the vision of this world of Berk.

40
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:38.343
Everything had to be Viking-sized.

41
00:01:41.490 --> 00:01:44.610
<v Eric>Meade Hall is one of the most iconic locations,</v>

42
00:01:44.610 --> 00:01:47.760
so of course we had to bring it to life.

43
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.170
<v ->When you walk through the doors</v>

44
00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:52.230
and through the vestibule and you see the main dining,

45
00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:54.723
I think it's just going to be fantastic.

46
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.100
With all of our rides, each of our four major attractions

47
00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:00.513
are themed after the kids.

48
00:02:02.490 --> 00:02:05.220
<v Ryan>Hiccup's Wing Gliders is our family coaster.</v>

49
00:02:05.220 --> 00:02:08.070
<v Katy>And Hiccup being the inventor that he is</v>

50
00:02:08.070 --> 00:02:09.600
has developed a way for us

51
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:12.870
to simulate what it's like to fly on a dragon.

52
00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:16.050
<v ->And Toothless is not very happy to say the least.</v>

53
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:19.470
<v Eric>He launches our gliders before wings are attached.</v>

54
00:02:19.470 --> 00:02:22.260
So rather than a smooth flight through Berk,

55
00:02:22.260 --> 00:02:26.670
we're careening wildly, skimming across the top of a lagoon.

56
00:02:26.670 --> 00:02:28.053
It's really an adventure.

57
00:02:29.118 --> 00:02:32.730
(exhilarating music)

58
00:02:32.730 --> 00:02:33.980
<v Hiccup>Dragon racing.</v>

59
00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:36.750
<v Ryan>Dragon Racer's Rally is a ride</v>

60
00:02:36.750 --> 00:02:39.120
where you all get to fly together

61
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.740
and spin upside down as many times as you want.

62
00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:45.810
<v Eric>You'll be able to create an experience</v>

63
00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:48.160
that's as wild or as mild as you want it to be.

64
00:02:49.410 --> 00:02:51.000
<v ->It's actually one of the attractions</v>

65
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.973
I was most excited for in the whole park.

66
00:02:55.380 --> 00:02:58.470
Getting to ride it during testing was very exciting.

67
00:02:58.470 --> 00:03:00.670
I think I rode it like seven times in a row.

68
00:03:02.210 --> 00:03:05.430
(dragon roaring)

69
00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:06.990
<v ->When you live amongst dragons,</v>

70
00:03:06.990 --> 00:03:09.630
it's important to know how to put out dragon fires

71
00:03:09.630 --> 00:03:11.970
because it's gonna happen eventually.

72
00:03:11.970 --> 00:03:13.980
<v ->So Fyre Drill is a boat ride</v>

73
00:03:13.980 --> 00:03:15.480
that is actually a game.

74
00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:18.600
You have two sides of the boat competing against each other

75
00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:21.690
with a series of mechanical targets.

76
00:03:21.690 --> 00:03:24.600
You will probably get soaked.

77
00:03:24.600 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Katy>Viking Training Camp is for our smaller Vikings.</v>

78
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.370
<v Ryan>It is not only just a kids' play area,</v>

79
00:03:29.370 --> 00:03:31.050
but it's an area dedicated

80
00:03:31.050 --> 00:03:35.310
to teaching Vikings about all the classes of dragons.

81
00:03:35.310 --> 00:03:37.020
<v Eric>There's gonna be lots of cool discoveries</v>

82
00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:39.843
for our littlest Vikings to interact with and explore.

83
00:03:43.897 --> 00:03:47.280 line:15% 
<v ->"The Untrainable Dragon" is a live show experience</v>

84
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.880 line:15% 
that really brings home the DreamWorks' mantra

85
00:03:50.880 --> 00:03:52.560 line:15% 
of heart and humor.

86
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.810 line:15% 
<v Eric>This is a Broadway-level production.</v>

87
00:03:56.580 --> 00:03:59.220 line:15% 
This show features incredible costuming and sets

88
00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:00.690 line:15% 
and advanced technology

89
00:04:00.690 --> 00:04:03.483 line:15% 
that help bring these amazing dragons to life.

90
00:04:05.490 --> 00:04:07.503
<v ->You never cease to amaze me, bud.</v>

91
00:04:08.970 --> 00:04:09.803
Thank you.

92
00:04:10.909 --> 00:04:13.980
(crowd cheering)

93
00:04:13.980 --> 00:04:15.873
<v ->We have dragons flying overhead.</v>

94
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.590
We have dragons that are shooting out flames,

95
00:04:19.590 --> 00:04:21.060
and they're not just in the distance.

96
00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:22.560
They're right in front of you.

97
00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:28.050
If you're coming to Berk, you wanna meet Toothless.

98
00:04:29.708 --> 00:04:31.980
(Toothless laughing)

99
00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:34.590
You're gonna come face to face with Toothless

100
00:04:34.590 --> 00:04:37.260
and have a meaningful experience with this dragon.

101
00:04:37.260 --> 00:04:40.680
<v ->Giving guests that opportunity to recreate that moment</v>

102
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.870
where Hiccup puts out his hand.

103
00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Ryan>Everyone's gonna want that iconic shot that we saw.</v>

104
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.060
<v ->It's the one that, pushing like this.</v>

105
00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:52.243
<v ->I definitely want that. I'll probably cry. (laughs)</v>

106
00:04:53.370 --> 00:04:57.420
The Isle of Berk has something for everyone of all ages,

107
00:04:57.420 --> 00:04:58.770
from the attractions

108
00:04:58.770 --> 00:05:01.350
down to the little moments gathered throughout the land,

109
00:05:01.350 --> 00:05:04.170
to the meet and greets, to the live show.

110
00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:06.990
<v ->We always have to find ways to push the envelope</v>

111
00:05:06.990 --> 00:05:09.480
and do things we've never done before.

112
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.030
<v ->I think the best thing about an immersive environment</v>

113
00:05:12.030 --> 00:05:13.260
is that you walk into it

114
00:05:13.260 --> 00:05:16.440
and you believe that's a land that you want to live in.

115
00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:20.760
<v Katy>It is going to give guests an experience</v>

116
00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:23.635
that they will never forget.

117
00:05:23.635 --> 00:05:24.960
(Toothless roars)

118
00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:26.430
<v Eric>We're creating experience</v>

119
00:05:26.430 --> 00:05:29.280
that is gonna bring joy to millions of people

120
00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:31.833
who come to Epic Universe and the Isle of Berk.

121
00:05:34.470 --> 00:05:37.260
<v ->Everything about this world is larger than life,</v>

122
00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:39.030
and there are so many more adventures

123
00:05:39.030 --> 00:05:41.130
and surprises to discover.

124
00:05:41.130 --> 00:05:43.170
This amazing new world is going to allow you

125
00:05:43.170 --> 00:05:44.580
to enjoy everything you love

126
00:05:44.580 --> 00:05:47.160
about "How to Train Your Dragon" in a whole new way,

127
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.080
and you'll only be able to experience it

128
00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:51.504 line:15% 
at Universal Epic Universe.

129
00:05:51.504 --> 00:05:54.254 line:15% 
(majestic music)
