Composer's Dream: How To Train Your Dragon Comes to Life at Universal
Universal Epic Universe's How To Train Your Dragon Land: A Composer's Dream Come True John Powell, the acclaimed composer behind the How To Train Your Dragon film series, recently experienced the culmination of years of creative work. He visited the newly opened Isle of Berk section at Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida. The immersive land replicates the world of the films with stunning accuracy. "It's very wonderful, uh, strange," Powell said, capturing the surreal nature of seeing his musical scores brought to life in a tangible setting. He expressed amazement at the scale of the project, noting how honored he felt to see his work so faithfully rendered. The video showcases the detailed recreation of the Viking village, complete with boats, buildings, and even a life-sized statue of a Viking warrior. Powell's comments highlight the emotional impact of seeing a world he helped create come to life in a real-world theme park, adding a personal touch to the story of the attraction's opening. The Isle of Berk section represents a significant achievement in theme park design, a testament to the power of immersive experiences and the enduring appeal of the How To Train Your Dragon franchise.
