Is that temp fencing? Looks like pads at the base of the poles and what are the triangular parts?

Yeah, temporary fencing. It's the type used in a lot of UK construction projects.
The triangular sections are just a way they install it for extra stability.

Maybe not but Imo it should be.

I wonder what the rental is on that?

I think my larger fear would be: Jurassic World, Minions Land, Super Nintendo World (not sure on rights of that one). Then maybe an indoor Dreamworks land.
Cost wise I can't see them passing up Minions Mayhem.
Kind of the Universal McDonalds model, rather than Epic.

This would be really sad. Holding out hope that the rumors of them not wanting to clone US rides due to cannibalization of Florida parks from European guests remains true.

While the park needs a few unique experiences, not entirely against them reusing a few things from the states.

Agreed - as long as it isn't three lands full (if it were Epic Universe sized that would be 60% of the park). I think I'd be okay with them cloning Jurassic Park from Beijing + River Adventure from the US
But would prefer some new stuff for the other areas
Yep. That's their standard bearer.
Just like MK-style parks at Disney's standard bearer.
I mean in theming/naming, vs layout. Also, even the US studio parks now have "lands"
Here's a look at the concept art - the resort is reportedly set to open in 2031:

It doesn't say anything about lands. At least from what I read. We need a Lord of the Rings land from the first movies or the Hobbit

They aren’t in the art.

Warner Bros isn’t going to want competition with their own nearby attraction.
Jurassic World is the current franchise.
Don’t get your hopes up.
Here's the local letter from Universal:
