It is similar to ‘Arthur’ at Europa Park, and allows guests to ride on the back of a dragon through immersive dark ride sections and thrilling speedy moments. The ride is a coaster called ‘Dragon Gliders’ located in the park’s DreamWorks land. Clearly, I’m not alone in this thought, as the film also has a ride at Motiongate Dubai. Simply seeing the Viking theming, the baby dragons and the giant statue of Toothless was enough to confirm my suspicions that this IP would work excellently within a theme park.

We’ve just returned from Heide Park (Germany) which has a small land, mostly full of flat rides for children, with one rather underwhelming boat ride.
NINTENDO LAND UNIVERSAL CONCEPT ART HOW TO
How to Train your Dragon has actually been given attractions and lands outside of Universal parks.
Although adorable, this is just not enough for me.ĭreamWorks often licenses its intellectual properties to other parks. The most presence it has had in a Universal park is a simple meet and greet. The same, however, cannot be said for How to Train your Dragon. Shrek even has a whole land in Universal Singapore. Shrek and Kung Fu Panda both currently have attractions within Universal parks. DreamWorks films are currently marketed and distributed by Universal Pictures, meaning they have easy access to the company’s IPs. It appears many would agree, as desire and rumours for a themed land have circulated for years. With two sequels and a spin-off television show, How to Train your Dragon is one of DreamWorks most popular, and in my opinion best, animated films. I know they don’t need them, but if Universal wants to steal all my ideas, that would be wonderful…here’s hoping my dreams come true. Despite continual delays, I’m still hopeful this park will become a reality and won’t stop myself getting ideas. With the announcement of Epic Universe, a third theme park at Universal Orlando Resort, permits and concept art have given fans rather hopeful hints at what’s to come. Some of the ideas featured on this list actually stand a good chance of becoming a reality. Staying within these realms of possibility, I am going to list off my top five dream Universal lands. This has led to Warner Brothers, DreamWorks, FOX, Netflix and many others, having their films and television shows featured within the parks, both permanently and temporarily. In addition to this, their success as a world class, industry leading, theme park, mean’s many other companies are desperate to have their intellectual properties featured within the parks. This means they have an incredible catalogue of films for the parks to draw their themes from. They are also, of course, one of the biggest film studios. Universal are one of the biggest theme park companies. Whilst racking my brain to complete these lists, I began to think about what could be. I personally can’t wait to see what other classic references the Super Nintendo World theme park introduces.In my past two articles, I listed what I believe to be the best and worst themed Universal lands at every Universal park, excluding Universal Singapore, which I haven’t yet visited. While we’re not in the loop on what else will be available at this specific park, this tease certainly looks exciting.
This is, of course, only one of the various themed attractions that are heading to Universal Studios Japan.
