The story of Hiccup's Wing Gliders
The ride entered service in 2025, when Universal Epic Universe opened its gates in Orlando. The park’s official opening announcement placed Hiccup’s Wing Gliders among the attractions of the new Florida resort. media.universalparksusa.com
During the final months of construction, trains were run through the finished steel course while work continued around the station, queue, and surrounding landscape. Test dummies and safety netting were visible as the attraction was prepared for visitors. wdwnt.com
The completed machine is an Intamin steel launch coaster, notable for its paired LSM launches and the rollback that precedes the second acceleration. It is a neatly judged piece of engineering for a family-sized course. coasterpedia.net· ultimaterollercoaster.com
After opening, trade coverage remarked upon the ride’s smoothness and its appeal to families, placing it among the well-received attractions of the new park. amusementtoday.com
