Universal Great Britain

Then maybe Universal should build their UK park on the site where the London Resort was going to be. That would make the new Universal park closer to London.

I’ve just looked at the London Resort location for the first time - surely it’s in a massively less convenient location for the majority of the domestic population and major airports? Heathrow might be a toss up (though Elizabeth link/Thameslink is beautiful to Bedford) but Gatwick and Luton on direct lines to Bedford and Stansted oddly inconvenient both ways. Direct line from the main London train terminal to Universal site too.

London Resort site is beyond Dartford, well beyond M25. East of London is the 9th circle of transport hell. Birmingham/North to London Resort site would be an odyssey.

Assuming I’m looking at the right place that is.

Bedford is a much, much better location. It will have way better transport links for the majority of the UK, including most of London, and for international visitors who want to go direct to USGB.

I think the 4-lands quote is oddly specific. It might be that The Mirror is simply rehashing the Bloomberg story from a couple of weeks ago, adding their own speculation about the composition of the park to pad out their story. Or, they’ve been briefed by someone who has seen the detail of Universal’s proposals to the DCMS and the opening day roster for Universal GB will be based on an entrance zone/hub plus four separate lands (or portals ;-) ). Sounds perfectly plausible.

It's possible that they're referring to the "4 lands" as the overall zones planned out on the proposals - Lake Zone, Core Zone, East Gateway Zone and West Gateway Zone.

That sounds like a very boring sonic game

Not sure where the source of this information has come from, or the legitimacy of it, but a rather large Universal fan group is making some claims that a decision/announcement may be imminent.

That’s just repeating what was in The Mirror (a British tabloid newspaper) a couple of days ago. Might be something, might be nothing. Probably something in it, as Bloomberg said something similar a few weeks ago, likely based on briefing or insider info from the relevant government department.

Hilarious that both my quick image I threw together with a logo and a free stock image background continues to be used for this, and that in this case, they actually watermarked it!

This is interesting. The land in the article has been discussed on here quite a bit.

One of the few times I added a watermark and @Brian G. was awesome enough to ask for permission.
