The meet and greet was announced as part of the initial reveal but only concept art has been shown before. Now, with Team Member previews in full swing, the resort has shared a look at the actual meet and greet experience.

Guests will be able to meet Toothless and his rider and experience the magic of bonding with a dragon themselves when Epic Universe opens on May 22, 2025. Other opportunities to see dragons will be available, including Stormfly (Astrid’s dragon) and Grump (Gobber’s dragon).

Universal has confirmed that dragons will also fly over the Isle of Berk and be wandering the land.
