Apologies if this is the wrong thread. I’ve just returned from a short break in Spain, went onto the Universal YouTube channel to check out their latest fly throughs for Epic, and its full of Hints and Tips videos in Spanish… anyone else seeing the same?

Yeah they seemed to upload a bunch of them yesterday.

I’m always hoping for some GB park announcement news lol but sadly nothing, just these 18 or so videos in Spanish lol.

This happens now and again, I think usually they’re slow to translate and upload Spanish versions of planning videos. And other times, they are videos released alongside in the Spanish version of the official blog posts, which start off as unlisted but then randomly all get set to public at once for some reason.

Considering Spanish is the most spoken language in the world and they are right next to South America I can see the logic in that.

Can anyone recall the way in which Universal first gave official confirmation that they were planning to open Epic Universe?

Thanks. Did Universal provide much information or artwork about their plans for the park at that stage, or was it non-specific beyond their intention to build a world-class theme park?

One piece of concept art, the logo, and recent footage of dirt at the construction site. Vague details.

Thanks, interesting that even in Orlando where Universal was already a huge presence they still got the Governor, the city mayor and the Comcast CEO to be there in person for the formal announcement of their 3rd (4th? - do we have an official ruling on that?) theme park. I was wondering what sort of announcement they might make for the official go-ahead in Bedford. Having seen that video I'm more inclined to think it will be a bigger deal that I was expecting, which initially I thought it might be quite low-key and with a much bigger PR push closer to opening. But having seen what they did for Epic Universe perhaps we'll see a big event where they confirm their first theme park in Europe, with a strong turnout of politicians and senior Universal executives.
