Universal Studios Beijing (Now Open)

[UniversalRBLX]

Gah, why do people want clones of the same rides in each park?! And by that I don't mean at parks around the globe, I mean parks at the same resort.

Never said a straight up clone, just the idea of a thrill coaster.

I'm kinda shocked Universal didn't build a F&F attraction at this park, especially considering how well that franchise has preformed in China.I'm sure the awful reviews from Orlando's didn't help, but apart of me hopes if they do decide to build a new F&F attraction in Beijing, maybe they can split the development cost with Orlando and both resorts can get a new F&F attraction

Perhaps they'll design a F&F ride for Beijing a year after it opens and they can clone it in Orlando :look:

I'd guess the duelling coaster planned for EU is one of the concepts they had for a Fast & Furious themed coaster. They probably couldn't make it fit in any of the existing parks, so they decided to re-use the concept for EU. A good idea never really dies, it just gets repurposed.

Hmmm I wonder if the EU coaster could fit in the MIB/FF plot of land. Would’ve worked for Fast and Furious then.

Highly unlikely, and there’s an apartment complex right behind those so even less likely that they’d build a coaster there.

That coaster was never planned for anywhere in USF IIRC

Is it just me that finds a few of the sight lines bad here?
Looking at pictures they could have done a better job hiding the Forbidden Journey show building from view when in Hogsmede, just seems poor…

Universal clearly don't see this as an issue. This is the 4th Hoggsmead with the same pronblem, at least in Hollywood they painted it a certain color to try and make it blend in.

It’s oddly best blended in Orlando now I feel lol, I need to see USJ’s version though.

Maybe I’m picky but I find this incredibly lazy

I can't be the only one who was hoping that Wikipedia would right on the public opening date, right?

Been to Japan and can’t remember but looking at Google Maps it looks just as bad, just sad when the land is so incredible!

So...are we going to get POVs of JW and KFP?

Anyone know the Chinese equivalent of Youtube?

We got POVs of Battle For Sunken Treasure and Lightcycle Run, so I just a assumed that being in China didn't preclude POVs from being released. Yes I know SDL didn't open in (the hopefully late stages of) a global pandemic.

At this point I feel JW Adventure is gonna be Spider-Man with a real practical set finale, first Spidey ride to have a Major AA in it, so I feel that will set it apart for the ride system, but may not be overly special beyond that. KFP seems like a well done attraction, and I’m really here to see the HTTYD Show, although I feel I shouldn’t and wait for EU but that’s also 4-5 years away so not sure what to do there.

 

[Tristan]

Is the park open or nah?

 

[JaySalahi]

Is the park open or nah?

It’s in previews I believe

 

[chriss.moyer]

When is the official opening date?

 

[yankeetrex]

Man I check every morning just to see if theres a ride video of the new JW ride....to say im excited is an understatement.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Ya I am curious as to why we haven’t seen like anything from any ride.
