I'm not gonna pretend like Waterworld isn't a cost-save to port over here, but that doesn't mean the show doesn't get good reviews. The whole joke around Waterworld is "avoid the film, see the theme park show". Trust me, I wasn't happy to see it in the concept art yesterday either, it's 100%...

Beijing got Waterworld in 2021, and it's a popular and praised attraction at the park, although it's based off of an irrelevant IP. There's a reason Uni clones it everywhere. I don't know why you're 'calling me out' with this pessimistic tone, but at this point I'm so over blind pessimism about...

Ever a perfectionist, I've created a third and (hopefully) final version of my concept art dissection, this time not being my predictions but exclusively insight into what the concept art suggests will be in the resort as a whole, in-line with existing rumours and leaks about this project. I've...

I get the scepticism but honestly parks like Shanghai Disneyland and Universal Beijing all do get an OK amount of international visitors, especially watch Westerner vloggers who go there often and you'll see a *few* white people amongst the local crowds. You gotta think though, USGB could do...

1) The Labour government needs a win and have been pushing hard for this for a long time. It's a completely different opportunity to work with the esteemed Universal Creative than with some brand new first-timer independent company making a brand new no-name theme park. This project is going to...

I've updated my predictions list to be more in-tune with current rumours and discoveries, including the (almost) confirmation that North of Dreamworks' Minions, is a Shrek area (based on the presence of the Poison Apple restaurant), the swapping of Pokemon for Paddington, and the removal of the...

As much as I'd love a Dark Universe variation, I doubt they'd want to do that seeing as they want UK visitors to continue feeding into their international tourism business in Florida. Even if the Dark Universe land is unique to the UK, the facts Monsters fans can get their fill locally could...

I haven't heard any rumours of this park supposedly being cheap. Where did you first hear this from?

Not that anyone asked, but here's my predictions for Universal Studios Great Britain, mixing strong rumours and speculation for lands with my own guesswork for what'll actually be in each of them. I tried to study the concept art as best as I could so I wasn't just making wild guesses into the...

IDK, I feel like they wouldn't be allowed to. Hotels are possibly - but unlikely - a legal grey area in the clause

The Warner Bros Studio Tour - where the Harry Potter films were shot - is understood to have exclusive rights to Harry Potter themed entertainment attractions in the UK, so Universal Parks can't do a UK Harry Potter land. Some people are suggesting we will get Jurassic in some form in the park...

I could see all of this possibly happening with very low chances, apart from Animal Kingdom closing permanently, which just sounds ludicrous to me TBH. I definitely see more and more animals being removed from the park, but within a decade a doubt we'll lose them all. Disney isn't gonna close AK...

I hope he didn't mean that. I find it highly unlikely that's what Disney's planning TBH

CTX / 'DINOSAUR!' definitely is a great ride. It did a few revolutionary things it doesn't get credit for, like the giant charging carnotaurus, the largest smoke machine in a theme park ride at the time, the complexity of the dino animatronics for its era, ETC. The ride also has a fascinating...
