Haystack Dryers Unveils New Cyclone Dryers at Epic Universe’s “How To Train Your Dragon” Land in Orlando

Orlando, FL – July 9, 2025 — Haystack Dryers is proud to announce the installation of two state-of-the-art Cyclone full-body dryers in the highly anticipated “How To Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk” land at Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort’s newest theme park set to open in 2025.

Designed to complement the immersive, windswept world of the DreamWorks animated franchise, the Cyclone dryers provide guests with a fast, fun, and convenient way to dry off after water-based attractions—all while enhancing the land’s rich storytelling and environmental design.

“This is more than just a functional installation—it’s part of the experience,” said Wayne Jacks, VP of Operations, North America for Haystack Dryers. “The Cyclone dryers are themed to fit seamlessly within the Isle of Berk, and they’re delivering exactly what guests need: a powerful dry for the entire family in around 3 minutes, with no towels, no hassle, and no downtime.”

Strategically placed near water attractions where guests are likely to get soaked, the Cyclone units use advanced airflow engineering and intelligent temperature control to ensure a warm, even dry. The dryers also feature contactless operation, antimicrobial materials, and custom theming tailored specifically for Universal’s creative vision.

“Our partnership with Universal continues to raise the bar for what theme park guests expect,” Jacks added. “We’re proud that Haystack Dryers is helping bring a little extra magic—and a lot of comfort—to this incredible new land.”

The installation of the Cyclone dryers at Epic Universe marks another milestone in Haystack Dryers' ongoing expansion across North America, reinforcing its reputation as the preferred drying solution for world-class parks and attractions.
