Universal Great Britain

[rob@rar]

Probably something quickly done by the Mirror peeps to give more of a splash.

I'd be very surprised if that's The Mirror's own handiwork.

Disappointed to see what might be a Waterworld/James Bond water-based stunt show, but I suppose this is very early days in the design phase so maybe it will change.

Universal has been working with media agencies to announce things... I doubt they want a fake AI version of a theme park concept out there.

I'm betting if JW does in fact come to this UK park, they're going to get the Jurassic World Adventure ride from Beijing. Lucky bastards....

 

[Altonsky]

I feel a little sick

Edit.. sorry, is that concept art?

Ahhh! Gotta give it to our newspapers, always have decent headlines

I don’t think it’s AI but it does seem quite similar to Beijing’s original concept artwork which you can find with a Google search

I feel like Kier's face is hiding what could be Lord of the Rings.... The front part of that land is giving hobbits and the back has a corner of a large showbuilding sticking out

The fact that they will build what is potentially another minion mayhem in 2030 or whatever is just beyond me. Can we not get a decent minion ride at least

Someone needs to ask him to duck so we can see it clearly

Not saying it's AI, just mentioned that since there's a discussion that this is fake.

This looks similar to Beijing, because that's the sort of style Universal wants throughout their parks. Lagoon at the center, IP lands around it with a Hollywood themed intro.

Not sure about it being LotR, but it does look like they're intentionally hiding something here. Whether it's Potter, LotR, a UK IP, etc.

I'm probably jumping the gun on LotR, but it has a fantasy look to it.

Agreed I'm probably jumping the gun on LotR but it does look fantasy. Actually looking again, maybe could be Wicked/Wizard of Oz

Trying to not fall down the hole too much, but my biggest red flag is the lack walkway cover.

 

[JT01]

There is nothing that ruins immersion more than giant glass covered walkways over buildings and walkways

 

[Altonsky]

Is walkway cover really necessary as well? It rains here but not as much as people think. As long as queues are all mostly covered that should suffice I think

It's not. If rain was such a dealbreaker, the Orlando Parks would have a walkway cover as Florida gets so much more rain than little ole Bedford.

 

[BBPH]

I think for me, I’d expect some form of walkway cover, as the main reason guests avoid UK parks is the weather. When it rains here, it tends to be dreary and lasts for most of the day.

I’m just surprised to see no walkway cover at all. But then again, this is just concept art, and if it becomes a reality, I’m sure it will change substantially over time.

 

[BBPH]

Apologies for the double

 

[xtpower]

It's legit!! Crikey.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

It's legit!! Crikey.

No this is the uk park not the Australian one.

Excited to see the full concept art.

 

[BBPH]

Trust me to be so very British and bring this ridiculously exciting news back to rain.

 

[Altonsky]

Hopefully we’ll get some more concept art then tomorrow even if it’s a little generic

Noticed there's a few areas we've not been able to clearly see, so there might be some surprises.
