“Guests visiting Berk will encounter one of the most breathtaking environments Universal has ever created – complete with immense architecture featuring hand-carved details, lush landscaping, and extraordinary heights of rolling hills surrounding vibrant dragon houses and local establishments,” Universal shared in a news release obtained by USA Today.

“Guests’ first sight of Berk will be reminiscent of the iconic sweeping vista straight from the films – featuring a vast sparkling lagoon that boasts two 40-foot-tall Viking statues set against an energetic village perched above churning seas,” Universal said.

Viking Training Camp will be at the theme park for little kids and will have a playground and even an agility course, People magazine reported.

The new Epic Universe is made up of five worlds with “How to Train Your Dragon” as one of them, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
