    Universal Great Britain

    One thing I never considered was how popular Luton Airport could become as in the middle of UGB and Warner Brothers Harry Potter studios in Watford. Only roughly 40 miles between the two attractions and can see fans from overseas tying both in one trip. Wizz Air and Easy jet based in Luton...

    Universal Great Britain

    I know at the NEC near Birmingham there was a redevelopment plan that proposed to transform 27 hectares of surface level car parking and surplus land, to create new residential, office, leisure and community space which was announced in 2021 I think. This was put on hold some time ago and that...

    Universal Great Britain

    I am from Birmingham myself and parts of Birmingham inspired Middle Earth so adding LOTR would be great Synergy and there is a lot a land by NEC available. Plus this is right next to Airport and very short train ride from Birmingham City Centre so some of the infrastructure already in place...

    Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Tips, Tricks, & Planning

    We had ROF passes without express for the first week we visited from the UK. On second visit (2 weeks out of 3) we looked at getting express for 2 of the 4 nights we were visiting but was showing sold out. When we checked into Adventura Hotel spoke to ticket desk and worked out cheaper to...

    My wife and I attended 4 nights from the 7th to the 10th. We did stay and scream area each night with no express passes. We managed to do each house twice and scare zones numerous times.

    Justice League (2017/2021)

    I enjoyed more than the original version but was a grind at times. Most surprising element for me was Jared Leto Joker such a vast improvement to his other version and wish could have been more.
