Peaceful Thrill Seeker, a theme park enthusiast, has recently shared some exciting new footage of the upcoming "How to Train Your Dragon" themed spinning ride, which is currently being tested at Epic Universe - the highly anticipated new theme park of Universal Orlando Resort, scheduled to open in 2025.

The ride is designed to give guests a thrilling experience by placing them in several winged seats on one end of a long pole, while a dragon on the other end spins the pole randomly, causing the riders to twist and turn in the air. The spinning ride, located near the entrance to the "How to Train Your Dragon" land, features two spinners, one with a blue dragon and the other with a red dragon, possibly as a tribute to the extinct Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge coaster from Universal Islands of Adventure.

Apart from the spinning ride, the Isle of Berk, which is the "How to Train Your Dragon" land, will feature other exciting attractions, including a roller-coaster, boat ride, and stage show. The stage show is expected to be a version of "Untrainable," a popular "How to Train Your Dragon" show currently running at Universal Studios Beijing. Universal has trademarked several names for the upcoming attractions, including "The Untrainable Dragon," "Hiccup's Wing Gliders," "Fyre Drill," and "Dragon Racer's Rally." The spinning ride could be named Hiccup's Wing Gliders, while the boat ride could be Fyre Drill and the coaster Dragon Racer's Rally.

Overall, the "How to Train Your Dragon" land at Epic Universe promises to be an exciting and immersive experience for guests of all ages, with its variety of thrilling rides and attractions.
