I like how Epic Universe is more family oriented. Whereas the main two parks are more thrills or show experiences.
I actually hate it.I hope ot doesn't turn into Disney full of wine drunk moms and stroller hell.
@@chriscirino5779 Okay, bye.
@@inventions178 Ok karen #1
@@chriscirino5779 LMAO. You're comment immediately discredits you.
@@inventions178 I said I hope it doesn't turn into stroller hell.If it does it does ,I am not going to show up their losing my s#i+ .A lot of people love Universal because it is not geared to younger kids , it is definately going to change but hopefully it doesn't give up part of what makes it so great.Have a great evening.
we're all just Charlie standing outside the chocolate factory watching these rides test for the next year
Where do I get a golden ticket
For a "family" coaster that looks pretty fun. The banking on some of those turns is nuts, and the first launch looks reasonable forceful. It'll also be a nice spectacle from off-ride since it goes through the whole land.
Nice floater looking hills too!
Hagrids is also a family coaster. I have a feeling this’ll have a layout almost as good.
"Medium" intensity coasters seem less common, but they're my favorite. I'm super excited about this land
forcefull? lmao youre kidding right?
@@supernova4760 Considering it's designed for families, uses LSMs and goes up a 45 degree incline, no, I'm not kidding. It's no hydraulic launch, but it'll feel pretty strong when riding it.
It's not quite the dragon riding coaster I was hoping for but still fun. I'm hoping they might in the future add a Toothless hypercoaster based on the Test Drive scene, fill it with floater airtime for a flying feeling and have wave turns over water dodging between big cliff rocks like in the scene.
that would be awesome but I think a hyper would be too big for this park and it would be hard to theme throughout the whole attraction and fit in the httyd area.
I was thinking the same thing, imagine going down a drop then the httyd theme starts playing and you start weaving between rocks
The landscaping is amazing.
Those trees better be real. We need clean air to breathe in Florida. :)
The park is coming together great people. How amazing❤
how "epic" ;)
Hagrid's Part 2.... The coaster itself looks great and can't wait to get a ride and visit each portal there is to offer 😄
Well hagrids is probably still a bit better but it’s similiar for sure!
From what I’ve seen/heard this is supposed to less intense than hagrid’s. So I guess you can say it’s the prequel
Gives me big bear mountain vibes which is a great family coaster
I can see the Hiccup animatronic cranking the mechanism and that's so cool. Can't wait to ride this and see the Hiccup and Toothless animatronic when this opens next year! 😊
I LOVE how this coaster goes all over the park!
Nice airtime, nice pacing, decent launch, good views, this is setting up to be a great ride!
Man this looks like a great family coaster!
0:28 Hiccup animatronic cranking some sort of mechanism to the left of riders, while I presume Toothless to be under the yellow tarp to the right
good eye, it took me a second to see hiccup there. now my question is, did they make him Canon height because i think film theory did a video a while back about whether or not toothless could actually fly. So that means there is a max height Hiccup would have to be that toothless could still get airborne.
I love how it’s like you’re flying through the land
I'm so glad that they are building this in Florida.
this actually looks so good.
It’s so cool to see the behind the scenes of a new ride being built! 😊❤
This seems like a more exciting version of the Dr. Suess land trolley ride. A good way to get some nice views and see the whole park in a timely manner.
I know before I said that 2 of those hills looked like to had ejector, now seeing it testing makes it look slower than the animation, but still good. I cant wait to see how it runs full, and warmed up in the florida heat.
Looks like an outstanding ride can’t wait to hopefully ride this one day
looks great!
This looks like it'll be the best family coaster ever to be fair.
This looks like a lot of fun….and makes me wish that the Wolfman roller coaster had a similar that runs throughout the Dark Universe land, but one that was a little more intense and thrilling to differentiate it.
This is going to give a great view of the Isle. Excited for it
I love the How to Train Your Dragon movies. I'm excited for this to open. Not sure if I'll be able to go in 2025 but I'll have to check it out sometime.
0:39 It looks like they're building with popsicle sticks. :)
1:13 is that a rollback or a swing launch out of this rocky area?
Oh that looks like so much fun, love the vibe I’m getting for it just being a family coaster but the next stage up, kids are gonna love this
1st second me: "Oh, it must be raining. They're all wearing ponchos"...
Water weight test dummies
@@dano8410 I know. ;)
This looks like a very fun layout
I wonder if that was it valleying at 1:13 and they had to re-run it or that is somehow part of the ride
1:14 is that a swing launch??? I know Wolfman will have one but I wasn’t expecting one for this!
No it doesn't have a swing launch, I believe they were just testing the LSM'S
I can only imagine it features standard sit down trains to avoid conflicting with Hagrid’s because a straddle coaster would have been much better for riding dragons
Totally agree. I play the “test drive” song in my head when I ride hagrids. It would have been good to have sorta the same setup a side car for the smaller kids and the bike seat type for the older ones.
idk if there was a valleyed train at 1:13 or a part of the ride.
Oh wow this looks like a fabulous family coaster
This may be the best themed area in the park in my opinion (with Dark Universe a close second).
thumbnail looked like something out of Roller Coaster Tycoon
Those blue people must be having lots of fun.
the trains reminds me (or just straight up uses) the same train chassis that Intamin used for Incredicoaster/California Screaming
Looks great
That second launch... is it supposed to stop and roll back then launch? Or was that just some sort of block testing
Sign me up to ride opening day!🎉
The length and theming is insane! That speed though.... ooff. Could go a smidge faster.
Oh, I didn't see the 45mph part. That should be fine!
It would have been fun if they were somehow able to put bigger dragon wings at the front
WOW!
i love how the second launch is supposed to look like the train "fails" this coaster will be fun
I didn’t know that wasnt accidental. Interesting
Two cool things I noticed: 0:33, you can see Hiccup moving the gears! 1:10 is that a slingshot launch??
Yooo! Thats awesome!!!
Looks fun
It looks amazing. The first launch looks better than mavericks no cap.
Looks fun. Reminds me of Manta from SeaWorld San Diego.
Oh Nice its a Intamin
1:10 rollback intentional? If so thats awesome!
I believe this ride has two launches similar to the Velocoaster. I don't think it's supposed to have a swing launch.
Has it got a swing launch?
Why no suspended coaster?
ugh disappointed in the train but love the layout and theming so much cant wait
Kinda getting Slinky Dog vibes on this one🐶
who is the manufacture for this??
Intimin
I was hoping it would be a little more thrilling but it will be good for kids.
It was marketed as a "family" coaster. That's actually way longer and more thrilling than what I expected for a family coaster. Compare this to the 15-second family coaster Disney has for World of Frozen in Hong Kong! I would certainly ride this as a young adult!
As an adult who does not like thrilling roller coasters, it's refreshing to see a decent balance happening at USO.
@@VerbilKintcopy that
Oh it's one of those bulky Intamin Looping Coaster trains like on Incredicoaster?!
Bruh
Funky little ride, should be decently fun. Great drone work!
I see Hiccup!!!
Epic 😅
it's got a mini swing launch?!
Reminds me of Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood which is a fun coaster.
Dragon racers just looks like the shell shock ride from mall of america
Someone needs to reupload this video with the Test Flight Theme song from the movie
Seems like a missed theming opportunity to build a wing coaster, but still looks cool.
I think this coaster type was planned at Efteling, a Intamin family launch coaster. Before they delayed and changed it.
This has been part of the plans since 2018
Won't be better than hagrids or cheetah hunt but this looks great
i see the hiccup animatronic at the start
I love how nobody does chain lifts anymore
slowly but surely, its coming out.
Looks like Pegase express in parc Astérix
Is this a Mack?
Ah, it's Intamin.
Why are they testing these coasters so early?
No reason not to if they can already be tested, good to iron out the kinks for a smoother opening
They can't just wait until opening week or something to test. These rides are going to be running hundreds of times a day at opening, best to get as many test runs as possible to iron everything out.
The manufacturer might have a set number of times the coaster has to complete the circuit without any faults before it can open. That number can be well above 1,000 times without people on board and 1,000 times with people on board. Gotta get ahead of it if they want to open on time
People who are excited 👇
Kinda reminds me of slinky dog dash
If u look closely u can see an animatronic at the beginning of the ride
I already smell that this coaster will be a childhood trauma for a lot of kids 😅😅
Why?
@@deletedaccountdnd because it will be promoted as a family coaster, so people are going to bring their kids and they will be surprised by the launch and what comes after
@@iamlookingforanorignalnick2349 Maybe so. But right now it looks akin to Disney's Slinky Dog Dash in terms of twists, turns, and dips.
I hate it when places advertise something as "family friendly" but "thrilling" at the same time and then show us something crazy. For example, both Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind and Slinky Dog Dash are marketed as "family" coasters. I've ridden both. Cosmic Rewind is NOT "family friendly". It was way more thrilling and wild than I even anticipated, and unless your kid likes A. tire swings and spinny rides and B. pitch black roller coasters, they will HATE this. Slinky Dog is WAY more "family friendly". It's MUCH more gentle and smooth (and visible) so even the bravest of timid riders might enjoy it. It's maybe about on par with Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, if not just a hair above.
I haven't ridden any Universal coasters, but Hagrids looks fun, and I might consider it to be a family coaster, but maybe for a family who enjoys coasters such as Expedition Everest- thrilling but no loops.
Just because a ride height requirement is on the lower end does NOT necessarily make it a "family" coaster, and having a higher height requirement should automatically make it NOT a family coaster, either. A family of pre-teens who have been riding coasters since they were tall enough for the tiniest ones, maybe.... but not kids who haven't ridden a coaster before.
@@iamlookingforanorignalnick2349 Hagrid's is a family coaster too and does really really well. This will be no different.
Two ideas for future lands are SpongeBob SquarePants and avatar the last Airbender.
I'm hoping on LotR myself. They have a 21 acre expansion plot
I thought this was the one where you can control how fats you're spinning.
Have feeling this isn’t gonna be plus size friendly coaster.
I wish coasters would be more for thrill seekers instead of families, but I get it.
You gotta have some "easy" coasters for those people trying to work their way up to the more thrilling ones..... Or for those who don't want to feel like they're being launched into orbit and put through space and fighter jet training all packed into 30 seconds. Personally, I LOVE that theme parks are putting these kinds of coasters in. For me, rides like this are just my speed- just thrilling enough to be enjoyable, but not so thrilling I come out needing to have worn brown pants or to find a trash can.
I think people who like those super-thrilling high-intensity coasters are crazy and you wouldn't catch me dead riding alongside them, but all the more power to them because, hey, without them, we wouldn't have pilots for fighter jets or skydivers or astronauts willing to put themselves out there to do their jobs. So, here's to you and your fellow crazy-coaster fans! 🙂
There's a limited audience for coasters that go 70 mph with 5 inversions. This is Universal, not SixFlags.
So this makes twenty-four launches at Universal, which is ridiculous.
I work there
slinky dog with a different theme
It's quite a bit longer though
And?
You could say this about so many different rollercoasters lol y'all just try to find any way to bring disney into this
Except SlinkyDog is very lame and this isn't.
So it would seem.

Coaster looks good for a more family oriented coaster but damn those cars are ugly af.
That coaster is too simple, it's not up to par with those in the other parks. That shit ain't no fucking ride
Imagine how cool it'd be if the coasters named after shows we grew up on were actually fun to ride, rather than 1 minute family coasters... They could've done something so worthwhile with HTTYD being the inspiration.
Idk about you but this ride looks cool, definitely a more intense family coaster
Don't forget there are two more rides and a breathtaking stage show too.
ugh disappointed in the train but love the layout and theming so much cant wait
There's actually a story to the train
