Universal Epic Universe Closes Isle of Berk Portal, Rerouting Guests
Visitors must use a nearby alternate walkway, with no timetable or explanation from Universal.
Overview
- Photos posted March 9 show the How To Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk portal barricaded on both the Celestial Park and land sides.
- Park signage redirected traffic to less immersive entry and exit routes, keeping the land open through an alternate path.
- Universal Orlando Resort has not issued a public statement about the closure.
- Fans on X suggested planned maintenance, including potential LED repairs, but no cause has been confirmed.
- No reopening date has been announced, and the temporary routing disrupts the park’s hub-to-portal transition experience.
