Universal is *finally* fulfilling Disney’s flying dragon promise 🐉

Описание: 🐉 Real flying dragons? Universal has Disney beat in this department once Epic Universe opens.

Here’s the story that goes back 13 years of how Disney World has been teasing and promising flying creatures (and spacecraft) over their parks, and how Universal is finally delivering on that promise.

And let me say, as a longtime theme park fan, finally!

Back in 2012, you might have been able to see a flying dragon over New Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom. Disney went to all the trouble of making an extremely unique and impressive looking dragon that could breathe fire. It took flight for the grand opening of the land, but then never again.

Disney did the same thing again a few years later for the Grand Opening of Rise of the Resistance at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. There for the grand opening, but not for the public.

This has been a weird point of annoyance for someone like me who covers Disney Parks closely. Why not do this more often?

Well, Universal is answering the dragon call, because they’ve confirmed that there will be dragons flying over the How To Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk land at Epic Universe. Dragons will be everywhere: on the ground and in the sky. WESH 2 in Orlando got helicopter footage of a Hookfang drone, and many guests have been taking pictures and videos of these dragons on a test flight for a few months now.

I cannot wait to see these take to the skies once Epic Universe opens later this year.
