Universal Studios Beijing (Now Open)

Wasn’t there a rumor that the 2nd park here might be Times Square or a Times Square adjacent themed?

All the original chinese articles said the second park would be themed to original Chinese IPs. Someone on here stated that the hogwarts express would be coming to the new park but the layout of the current park makes it extremely unlikely with the massive expansion pad they already have for Potter and the location of potter in the beijing park.

Ah gotcha! Anyone have any idea of what kind of IPs may be included or what could potentially be included?

I recall A water park in early promo video, so I imagine that is first.

Looks like the music plaza stage is decorated for a summer event



And they rolled out a Woody Woodpecker merch line

Something interesting maybe...

Construction seems be gearing up near Potter

Maybe a Hagrid clone? That seems logical for that space...

 

[mccgavin]

I don't know the validity of it, but I remember hearing a while back there's a plot adjacent to Hogsmead that could fit Hagrid's. Adding it would be a very strong addition to the park.

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

If they're building Hagrid's they could also build a new queue from scratch. Presumably the track layout would be the same, but the queue wouldn't have to be retrofitted around the old Dueling Dragons load building. Maybe get rid of the continuous loading walkway and have a dual load station instead.

There’s exactly the right amount of space for Hagrid there. But we’ll see if that’s what they settled on or not.

Could also be MOM. Or Waterworld 2: Folie a Deux

I'm a little skeptical it's MOM. Reportedly MOM has quite a few similarities with the Jurassic World ride already in Beijing, including a very similar scene to being chased by the Indominus Rex.

Maybe false alarm here... oops

The location of the cranes is not the expansion pot for Hagrid, more behind the Hogwarts Castle than anything.

Most likely they are from Zhangjiawan shopping mall.

That makes sense. As far as I’ve heard, the next expansion this park gets won’t be for Potter.

I wonder what would be next for this park. They have expansion room for lands, but Hagrid’s seems like a very logical fit for this park.

From a far, this park honestly seems just terrific. I randomly had a thought the other day of “I… I wish this was in Vegas” lol

I could see them getting their own version of F&F Hollywood Drift but with the coaster going over the main street and back, kinda like Hollywood Dream in USJ.

They love F&F in China and they already have the space after cancelling F&F Supercharged

Meh.

Two parks in a row getting F&F coasters is great. When is it our turn? lol

From what I’ve heard, we should just enjoy all the new coasters Epic is bringing for now.
