Be honest: You want a dragon. Who doesn’t? Ever since the first concept of scaly, fire-breathing, winged beasts who fly through the air and eat\u2026 well, whatever they want, humans have been terrified and enthralled by the mythical creatures. It\u2019s one of the reasons why the DreamWorks\u2019 How to Train Your Dragon series of films…<\/p>\n![\"DreamWorks](\"https:\/\/becomeimmersed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DreamWorks-Dragons-Flight-Academy_Dragons-Flying.jpg\")
In\u00a0DreamWorks Dragons Flight Academy<\/em>, an immersive virtual reality (VR)<\/a> experience from Dreamscape<\/a> located at the Westfield Century City mall, you and up to seven of your friends can choose avatars and get enlisted by Hiccup and Astrid (and their dragons, Toothless and Stormfly) into the Dragons Flight Academy to partake in a twelve-minute rescue mission to the Hidden World!<\/p>\n![\"DreamWorks](\"https:\/\/becomeimmersed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DreamWorks-Dragons-Flight-Academy_Bewilderbeast.jpg\")
And what a ride it is! The adventure begins in Berk, the same cliff-top North Sea island from the movies and TV show, where Vikings and dragons now live side by side. After joining the Dragons Flight Academy, you and your fellow recruits practice flying over rough seas, past vicious monsters, through gorgeous colorful caves, underwater, and through ice caverns. Your mission \u2013 and the only way to earn your \u201cdragon wings\u201d \u2013 is to save a cadre of dragon eggs from poachers deep in the North Sea caves.<\/p>\n![\"DreamWorks](\"https:\/\/becomeimmersed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DreamWorks-Dragons-Flight-Academy_Toothless-the-Alpha.jpg\")
You wait to climb onto your new reptilian steed in an antechamber with maps of Flying Courses, masks of the avatar choices, and even a framed window looking into a pen where friendly dragons snort and nod at you. Once inside, you and your team hop onto bikes, don your VR gear, fist bump your new avatar buddies, and start the experience. The immersive visuals are film quality and the action is non-stop. In fact, if there is a quibble to be had with the experience, it\u2019s that the visuals in some sections are so breathtaking, but you\u2019re so caught up in the excitement that you don\u2019t get a chance to savor them! The runtime is perfect \u2013 long enough to really feel sated, but short enough that you want to hop back on immediately! It\u2019s a great experience to share with friends, kids, family, or even if you just need to take some time for yourself and feel the wind rush past you.<\/p>\n![\"DreamWorks](\"https:\/\/becomeimmersed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DreamWorks-Dragons-Flight-Academy_Landscape-1.jpg\")
