    I think universal should put in an area for nostalgia, build back to the future, kongfrontation, earthquake, ET, they're all dark rides, bring back ghost busters, it would work, there's huge market for nostalgia and people crave for the old rides, I'd adore a back to the future ride here in the UK. They have the technology to do these rides justice, they're weather friendly and would please everyone

    We need to remember when looking at rides at other parks already this park won't open for another 6 or 7 years. Forbidden journey for example opened in 2010 in Orlando. You wouldn't want a copy of a 20 year old ride and a lot of their audience would already been there. Even mario would be open for 5 or 6 years.

I just love that 'chewing gum' theming and general quirky silliness and for me it's probably my favorite part of IOA. I've spent far too much time down by the waterside of Seuss Landing looking at the Sneechs. I just hope they don't attempt any kind of 'Main Street UK' with hokey London/ UK landmarks. I do like the entrance to IOA however though I suppose that's not the looks they'd go for. All that said, I am so excited about this possibly coming to the UK to shake up the mediocre industry we currently have. So excited in fact I may cough up a sneech!

    In terms of overall design, I’d guess that the potential GB park would be most similar to the Beijing park, with a few big indoor lands augmenting the more typical outdoor stuff found elsewhere. I would also be very surprised if clone of the Jurassic World dark ride wasn’t included, as that’s clearly one of the very best Universal attractions, yet not yet present in the west. When it comes to IPs, Universal have shown, with Waterworld, that they’re prepared to go with something that isn’t popular, if it ultimately produces a great attraction. If a ride or show is of a sufficiently high standard, people are going to seek it out, regardless.

No I wont even hint at what is in the planning stages but I will say this. It is totally original and if plans move forward will blow peoples minds. There may be some formal word on more details by the end of this year but I dont expect we'll hear anything else before then, the primary reason is there are contract negotiations in progress, so nothing can be said at this time.

    @tedioustotoro4885 3 місяці тому

    You mention the Japanese studio tour as a reason for Potter to come to the UK. The main difference is that it takes 3/4+ hours to travel between the studio tour and the park so there isn’t much competition between the two, meanwhile it’s only 40 minutes between the two in the UK so the park could definitely eat into the guest numbers. Not to mention that WB has an exclusivity deal for the Potter license in the UK that doesn’t expire until 30 years after the opening of the studio tour.

    • @UniversalUKNews
      @UniversalUKNews  2 місяці тому

      I'm not sure that's much of a factor, most foreign tourists to Japan will fly in and out of Tokyo so will be near the studio tour for part of their trip anyway. Plus they're both complimentary.
      If you're a Harry Potter fan you're more likely to travel to the UK if they have both the studio tour and wizarding world, especially if they're only 40 minutes away.
      Like how we're more likely to go to Florida because there's both Disney and Universal, when there's just one attraction ( like Disney Hong Kong) it seems harder to justify

    Jurassic would be nailed on. You are only thinking of the films. But the Camp Cretaceous and now Chaos Theory have both been massive hits for kids on Netflix, so I can see a Dark ride or 2 in an enclosed area. As much as I like the Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz films. These are very niche and I cannot see this ever coming to the UK. I could see a DreamWorks area possibly instead of minions. I would love to see a retro area with new versions of Jaws, Back to the future, earthquake, maybe Twister (with a new film coming out) and Ghostbusters now universal have the rights to it.

    Newest park will most likely be based on Universal Beijing, since that is the newest park format they have developed under Universal branding (not IOA, Epic, etc) and bear in mind, weather. China has very temperamental weather during winter months, making it the park most similar to the UK.
    While it will not be a clone of other parks, it will still contain most signature staples found across Universal parks globally with a focus on their newer IPs developed (Jurassic World, Wizarding World, Nintendo, Minions) with at least one brand new IP zone and likely indoors, again similar to what has been developed for Beijing (Kung Fu Panda) that will cater to local tastes. People have mentioned James Bond or Lord of the Rings, which I agree are the type of blockbuster IPs that will definitely differentiate the UK park to its others. But the UK-exclusive IPs are anyone's guess at this point.
    There will be more focus on family-friendly attractions and indoor zones, because of the British weather and wider family audience. My opinion is that they will likely include How to Train Your Dragon, since this is an entirely new family-friendly zone, and can potentially be developed indoors similar to Beijing's Kung Fu Panda indoor zone, both of which were heavily inspired by Motiongate Dubai's indoor HTTYD and Kung Fu Panda lands.

    How it usually works is that the company in this case universal pays to use the name and rights to use it at the parks. It’s the same thing with six flags and the DC comics rides. It’s called a name licensing lease. It’s good for 1 year then the two parties check if they want to renew. Very common.

    Great video, I'm not a Harry Potter fan at all so don't really wanna see more HP considering it's such a large focus in orlando but from a business pov, it would make sense in the uk park to have a HP or fantastic beasts area/ride so, I'm also not a fan of the minions but could see that being there as the kids zone. Nintendo world would be cool esp after seeing how the other ones look.
    Personally, I think it would be amazing to have a Tolkien world, so a lord of the rings land, maybe designed to look like the shire, with a mordor dark ride or something, or through caves following gollum with shelob the spider animatronics, and with the pub the hobbits drink in as a restaurant experience. could also expand to having the hobbit included. I think a a,Tolkien theme would be a,great substitute for HP over here.
    I also think, like the bourne show...how about a James Bond stunt show?? that would be very British and could do it like the bourne/indy live show with actors and cars etc. would be very cool I think.
    A universal monsters area would be cool though.
    I have ready though that Universal supposedly don't want to use existing property's in other parks so that would immediately cross off Nintendo, minions, HP etc...and also read that the studio tour that was built have something in a contract stating that no other HP attraction can be built within so many miles of it so I have ni idea if there is any truth to,that or not but its,fun speculating...

    Love your Cornetto Trilogy idea. Perfect fit, British humour, British setting, good for seasonal sessions (Halloween)
    Nintendo land - absolutely. Probably with some unique stuff too, so much IP they’ve not tried yet - Pikmin, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Metroid, F-Zero, Splatoon etc.
    I’d be amazed if 007 is not licensed (and other MGM - Amazon owned stuff)
    Maybe some BBC / ITV stuff - I’d say Doctor Who but the recent Disney+ streaming Deal MIGHT make it impossible?? Bake Off, Repair Shop, Antiques Roadshow...
    Dreamworks Land - Absolutely
    Shrek - Trolls - Kung Fu Panda - How To train your dragon (Live action film in 2025)
    With a smaller ‘Illumination Land’ - Maybe?
    Minions - Secret Life of Pets - Despicable me - Sing
    Music will be a big part of the offering - Maybe restaurants / bars. Could also be rides
    So - Blues Brothers - American Graffiti - Animal House. -Always wanted a “Jake and Elwood police cruiser coaster”!
    Also Universal Music have - Taylor Swift - BTS - Billie Eilish (and MANY more). Very possible to have a ‘music experience’ if not a themed ride.
    Jurassic World - Absolutely will have a section (A 4th film directed by Gareth Edwards-Rogue One is fast tracked 2025)
    Very possible to do a ‘dark ride’ with an eye on the British weather.
    Marvel / Simpsons are no go, as you say - Disney licensing - USA east of Mississippi only. Disney would love to end that deal but Universal will make them pay heavily.
    Harry Potter - Has JKR/Warners signed off on the UK licence? If ‘Fantastic Beasts’ had dominated I think it would be certain, but to just do a clone of anything in Florida feels weak (most Brits have already been there). I do wonder if there is an appetite for it now.
    Universal Monsters - I’d love it, but without a modern ‘break out’ film to hang it’s hat on I think it will struggle (Epic Universe seems like a Bizarre roll of the dice) More likely 'An American Werewolf' which could tie into 'Shaun of the dead'

So theyll likely do something else entirely. Not paris, as thsts already being made in Epic Universe. What i suspect is that it will be New York from Fantastic Beasts, like how Epic Universe is getting Paris from Crimes of Grindelwald.

I think a New York setting from Fantastic Beasts would be a great addition to the park. The US parks would have a UK themed experience, and the UK would have an American themed experience. While my idea is speculation, I am incredibly skeptical that the UK park will see Hogsmead.

    I love how to train your dragon and would love to see it in the UK since it is a British book series, for the jurassic park ride they could make a dome like the Eden project and a have a rollercoaster based on a pterosaur flying around the dome with other attractions within it recreating other domes from jurassic park 3 (zipline maybe) and jurassic world. There have also been people saying they have rights to lord of the rings for rides though hopefully they make hobbet holes in the nature section for glamping.

    I just want to remind you that universal has tested jurrassic park theming in the U.K. in 2022 with the indoor experience. It performed well.
    Also how to train your dragon is mad popular dude. Toothless is universal’s baymax. However, the soil in the U.K. isn’t great so I can see them skipping out on this because of the soil and weather

    I’m going against what people are saying with WB and IP rights to attractions in the UK. I think Universal will have an agreement with WB, the tourism would help both. So I think we will get HP.
    You might be surprised to hear you could easily recreate the Jurassic World area in the UK. Because it’s easy to create fake foliage/palm trees these days. A shopping centre near me has giant fake palm trees that look real.

    Personally I can totally see them doing something with Planet of the Apes, Lord of the Rings, Hogwarts, How to train your Dragon, - Maybe James Bond - Pretty much anything that is UK based or made in the UK

      Yeah, no. Said trusted insiders are the ones who broke the news on Universal purchasing land and intending to build a park in Bedford, forcing the company and government to come out and announce it. There's internal concept art and several proposal plans for the park going around in private discord and telegram groups with all versions lacking a Wizarding World and containing Jurassic World. We won't wait long before they finalize their plans and announce them. Probably in two years if I had to guess.

    It won't have anything Harry potter. A big part of Orlando parks attendance is Europeans going for Potter lands. If built it in UK those people won't also go to Florida. The 2 main massive lands will be lord of rings and pokemon, backed up with Jurassic park which will be in dome/themed as visitor centre, Nintendo land, a land based on illumination and DreamWorks IP with a number of dark rides such as secret life of pets and minions and section based on British IPs i.e Bond show similar to bourne spectacular and Shawn of dead dark ride. Universal said will be open all year round unlike other British theme parks, so a lot of the attractions will be inside.

    > Secondly, while yes it may not be as popular in the uk as it is in America How To Train Your Dragon is one of if not the most popular animated movie franchises in the world so if they’re picking a kids area I’d have no doubt that’s at the top of their list

    i’m not a massive fan of American politics or their gun laws however they do know how to put a show on the one thing I will say about universal studios Great Britain is that they have already made it crystal clear several times that they will not be bringing the main attraction rides from the USA to Great Britain this means no Jurassic World rides no Harry Potter rides no Spider-Man nothing we have to look at universal Singapore and universal in China to get a better idea of the type of rides that we will be having.
