So, this thread was bound to come up.
As someone who lived, studied and worked in Beijing for 4 years; I must say that this is awesome for the people of Beijing and for Universal as a global brand....
However, For those who would want to visit it, i must say that there needs to be some unique rides for me to go, because I do not want to return to Beijing. I lived there for 4 years (early 2008- late 2011. Last summer I decided to stay in Shanghai because the pollution was so terrible in Beijing. Worse than I had ever seen, and its only bound to get worse because China has actually loosened the Pollution upper control limits so that there would be less alarms to the citizens and they can go about their day.... Yes you read correctly.
So unless this will be indoor like the Moscow version, I'll pass because unless this is fixed...
However there was a report about how smog is becoming unbearable, rather close, to when it was leaked that Uni will have a Beijing park.

So, we will see, because im not going to be on a coaster begging for air due to excitement while breathing in this...
