Universal Studios Beijing (Now Open)

Put that in the new park. Immediately. That concept art puts all Universal lands (except Diagon and SNW) to shame.

Just going to say this..but considering the layout from the pic that's still on Themeparx..that seems hard to believe IMO, considering how JW is seemingly layed out..

Could it of been when they were doing BS? maybe, but I don't believe that what was posted IS the final product.

Its just something extra that hasn't been posted yet. As i stated, multiple chinese sites have stated they are still designing....I thought this concept art which matched the latest layout....especially the top image (you can even see the bridge and the small cove in the layout which is on the concept art) would be a nice touch.

I do agree though about the bottom image...it seems off compared to the top as I can't figure out how the coaster is going in front of the visitor center in any of the concept layouts.

There’s always the chance that it is the final product, but the layout posted on Themeparx is outdated. Or the concept art is outdated, but most of it is still accurate.

Man I really want that concept art to be true.

I did a reverse image search and this image outside of imgur is only on Chinese sites...maybe that Dome isn't a dome.

I’m finally early enough to catch something like this!!! :clap:

That unfortunately appears to be really old concept art, timed from the proof of concept when they announced the park.

Here's the full three image panel. The Jeep ride and the Mummy land is the dead ringer that this is outdated.

Certainly I hope they retain the look and feel of the first images though!

That mummy image is Universal Studios Singapore....

Ya, but that was original proposal. I'm just finding these images along with this original proof of concept, that included the Mummy.

Essentially just to say these images that surfaced are older, so I wouldn't use them as gospel on final layout.

That image you posted came out in 2014....Jurassic World wasn't released until 2015 meaning those plans and concepts were added at a later time (Comcast recently mandated meetings between the studios and the parks quarterly). While it may be old, there have been 3-4 iterations of layouts released of the park all in different shapes and the latest one is the only one that has matched multiple pieces of concept art.

Now again I have posted multiple times, that they are still designing however we can at least get some level of scope of the lands from this.

ThemeparX has new construction shots.

Nothing really too see, but still exciting.

 

[Magic-Man]

I think the first JW concept art is accurate, the second one not as much. The general feel and layout will still be there, however.

I mean, just look at that mountain! My God, it’s beautiful!

:exclap:

At least they linked to it!

Interesting that they say 1 attraction on the plans has been cancelled - Fast & Furious perhaps?!

I’m thinking that it’s WaterWorld. It’s been rumored to be cut and replaced by a Chinese IP for months now.

Didn't Quinn refer to it more as a "Asian IP that is popular in the US" and not exactly a "Chinese IP"?

Yea I did say that however I think you mistaking my statement. The IP is Asian and not Chinese but not popular in the United States. Would people in the US recognize it? Sure especially if they like Asian culture but not the US general population. The reason I haven't posted the name however I've only seen speculation and no actual reputable Chinese reporting about it or concept pieces. Its not just one person stating the IP is coming on sina and weibo though.

The best hint of this is it gives Beijing their own version of having pirates in the park.

 

[Jamesh22]

Well it is about time Uni found a replacement for Waterworld. I do love it but it's been going for decades now.

A new Chinese theme park points to the future of Universal Orlando | Blogs

Welp, my Reddit post is back in the news again. I should probably put a comment on it, saying that it came from ThemeParx.

Other than that, the article is kind of iffy. How in the world did they manage to miss F&F?

 

[Magic-Man]

Does anybody know which version of Transformers they’re using for the Transformers area? Is it based on the MB look or the new Bumblebee G1 look?
