Universal Epic Universe News Update - How to Train Your Dragon Official Details Revealed 

Meeee

I’m so excited, I’m really hoping I get to work the coaster there

As someone who isn’t interested in How to Train your Dragon, this still looks like a cool place to visit, I remember someone on Twitter saying it will be like Cars Land in DCA, you don’t have to be a fan of the source material to enjoy it.

I knew Isle of Berk was going to be the best land!

MEEEEE

Galaxy’s edge could be better but “lifeless” isn’t the word I’d use

​@@WasthatthebiteYeah, I'd use the word "dead." 😂

@@Wasthatthebite Its so "nothing". Such a waste of a great property.

​@Wasthatthebite it's dead like their incrediblely expensive "immersive" star wars hotel lmao only the youtubers "loved it" everybody else wrote bad reviews and called it a wate of money

when will you guys let this disney vs universal stuff go. it’s corny and forced, just enjoy both parks and quit trying to turn everything into a competition. Universal improving is a good thing for disney fans and vice versa. Also Galaxy’s edge is fun and definitely not lifeless, you are just blinded by your bias.

I would cry, I would cry so hard

Thank you! Can’t believe this one is already done and up already lol

@@ThemeParkStop awesome works as always - I knew from your last construction update a new announcement was coming, but kudos for getting this video out there so quickly - I'd already decided I would wait to hear your take on it rather than looking elsewhere!

that's why i only watch her epic universe news update videos and not anyone else's

Agreed. Universal isn't trying to compete with thrill capitals like Six Flags or Busch Gardens or SeaWorld. Instead, Universal is competing directly with Disney, building a true family park with immersive theming that appeals to people of all ages--something that Disney is doing less and less.

But, it may be for the littles! My grandkids love Toothless, and they are already going nuts for it, but are too scared/small of bigger rides.

don't try and compare Hiccup's Wing Gliders with The Incredible Hulk Coaster.

Dark universe is my most anticipated land

@@metallicnole4514 Love and look forward to them all except Harry Potter World. I hate that franchise because the kind of magic presented is NOT the magic I think of. When I think of magic, I think of Elsa, Maleficent and even Quan Chi.

@@Angie2343 I'm a fan of Dr. Strange magic lol

You can adopt a dragon?? 🥹

@@metallicnole4514 That's what I am talking about.

Agreed!

That would absolutely check out!

Oh yeah that’s absolutely how they are going to play this! Just awesome storytelling going on behind the scenes that I think is really going to bring this land to life.

For me too!! What I love most about Alicia is her support for the Trevor Project. She even does a fundraiser for the organization every year!! The Trevor Project is so important because it helps protect queer children, especially those who identify as transgender and/or non-binary. As a neurodivergent queer person (NQP) myself, I totally relate to these kids. I knew I was queer when I was as young as 6 years old. The bottom line is that kids always know what is best for their bodies. We need to TRUST them to make these decisions because they know what is best for themselves. They know what will make them happy now and for the rest of their lives. These kids with gender dysmorphia were born in the wrong body and therefore require critical pharmaceutical and medical interventions that will make the necessary and permanent changes to their body so that they can be happy with their bodies. This may require changes to sex hormones through pharmaceutical drugs or surgical procedures to the child's genitalia (once they're old enough, of course) to ensure their body matches their personality. For example, when a child has a personality that is more boyish (sometimes referred to as being a "tom boy"), then breasts should be removed (mastectomy) to make sure the child's body is appropriate for his personality. Conversely, if a child has a more girlish personality (e.g. if they like makeup and pretty dresses), then the penis should be surgically removed to make sure the effeminate personality is no longer stuck with those genitals. Thank you to Alicia AND the Trevor Project for this incredibly important work. Thank you for protecting trans and queer kids!!!

I didn't even know about Epic Universe and wasn't interested in Universal parks until I found this channel!

Neck bolts? Bloodstone necklace? My family has talked about going to Epic in 2026 and it almost sounds like I might need to grow an additional appendage. With a Power Band, Wand, Dragon (please be shoulder mountable), Dark Universe item (probably just for me...), and maybe a Celestial Park item (that might be a necklace?) to go along with my normal 'day at a theme park' gear.

they're criminally underrated

you should, they’re awesome

Yes!!!

The more involved the loading, the longer it takes to load---reducing capacity. Plus the more moving parts , the more parts that can stop working so I"m glad it's simple, tried an true no frills. Fewer disruptions to service.

@@keouine exactly my thoughts too. Motorcycle seating is neat more than practical.

⁠@@AmusementLabsyea plus a motorbike type vehicle would prob be too similar to hagrids

I'd say it's because it's a family coaster. Smaller kids not only don't fit well on straddle type seats, but tire of hanging on a lot faster.

I believe there’s also been rumors of possible land expansions in the future. A popular idea seems to be another type of flight simulator like Flight of Passage so maybe that’s another reason to opt for a more traditional coaster

Not me, I'm most excited for Berk. I can't wait.

I agree. Super Nintendo is the least exciting considering it already exists in two other parks. Although DK coaster is still very exciting.

It feels very unique and very fleshed out.

All i care about in Nintendo is Toadstool cafe, bowser jr, and dk coaster

@@SillyBathDog you're missing out.

I'm sure they'll be selling baby dragons. No need to worry

@@0dylan I just hope they don't sell out before I can get one like the shoulder Hedwigs had.

This was a great idea!! The only things I can think of that prevented them from making that decision: 1. Cost 2. There is a B&M flyer right down the road at SeaWorld

Race to the Edge. That's a Snow Wraith, which is introduced in its second episode.

But if they hired her she wouldn't be allowed to spill all the secrets early.

@@0dylan 🥲🥲🥲

Baby dragons?! Awesome

Maybe HTTYD 4 will have an adventure with dad hiccup, mom Astrid and their son and daughter and their 3 dragon kids maybe the red death will return

I believe it’s a Snow Wraith. It’s from the TV show “Race to the Edge”. I hope it shoots out cold spray to cool you off.

I think they probably kept the Mead hall clean of ride structures because it’s a huge part of the scenery and the backdrop to photos people will take upon entering… though busting through the stables or some dragon houses would have been awesome (if not expensive for adding more animatronics).

She litiraly talked about it a few videos back, lol
