Before Epic Universe opened, Universal said actual flying dragons<\/a> would soar above guests in How to Train Your Dragon \u2013 Isle of Berk. That may finally become a reality. Aerial photos by X user @bioreconstruct<\/a> show a pair of flying dragon drones staged in a backstage area of Epic Universe, ready for flight.<\/p>\n

Flying Dragons Finally Coming to Epic Universe\"Flying<\/a><\/p>\n

Bioreconstruct spotted two red and black dragons on a landing pad behind Isle of Berk, near the theater for \u201cThe Untrainable Dragon.\u201d<\/a> There were crew members actively working on the dragons during bio\u2019s flyover.<\/p>\n

These appear similar to the dragon drone<\/a> spotted by WESH 2 News back in March 2025, before Epic Universe opened. They both appear to be Monstrous Nightmares. One was sitting on a cart, while the other had been removed from its cart.<\/p>\n

The only time a flying dragon was seen above Isle of Berk<\/a> was during IAAPA back in November.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an aerial video of the dragon drones on their pad:<\/p>\n
