What is Hiccup’s Wing Gliders?
On this family thrill coaster, Hiccup has engineered a winged contraption designed to launch adventurous Dragon Riders high into the sky. The experience begins as you walk through Hiccup’s home and into his latest workshop, where he’s developing a new way for Vikings to take flight—no dragon required. But just as you board the ride, Hiccup wonders aloud if they really need dragons anymore… which doesn’t sit well with Toothless. Before the wings are even attached, this Night Fury triggers an unexpected launch, sending you soaring through the air at speeds up to 45 mph and heights of 50 feet. You’ll dive, glide, and sweep alongside Hiccup and Toothless, fully embracing the exhilarating spirit of dragon flight.
