- This is the future location of Universal Studios Great Britain! In December 2023 Universal Destinations & Experiences confirmed that they had purchased 480 acres of land in Bedford, United Kingdom for a potential theme park and resort. In this video we take a close look at the site from on the ground and also from the air. We talk about the benefits of building a large resort on this site including existing infrastructure, public transport connections and much more!

The fact I live 10 minutes from here feels surreal but amazing at the same time! Also may be a potential job in the future
Congrats you’re got the job as….Minion #2
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it does go ahead
If this gets built, it would definitely boost UK tourism.
Definitely. Much like how people go to Paris because its cheaper than Florida, Europeans would chose to come here
Luton and Stansted airports are also nearby, with lots of cheap flights to and from Europe. This is a good move.
why go to the uk when you can go to paris though?
@@Pleasekillme12369 firstly, because Paris is a dump.
But if you want Disney on a budget you go Paris
If you want Universal on a budget youll go UK.
Personally Ill stick to Florida
@@SteveDavies80 Disney Paris is hardly on a budget anymore, their prices are outrageous
It's like watching the first man walk on the moon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed until I see construction workers on site.
Shawn will definitely be there with construction updates! 🦺
Definitely
The moon landing never happened though
Just hope they do but I might too old to go on rides by the time it's done ha ha
Stay tuned for more updates as we get them!
Love the wellies, can’t wait for this park to begin it’s building process (if it does go through ) have loved watching nemesis construction updates and I imagine that this will be another great construction series on the channel, can’t wait ❤🎉
Me neither I cannot wait to follow the construction updates
Thank you. We will definitely be following this very closely if it goes ahead!
Fingers crossed. As UK is home of Harry Potter if this goes ahead I’d love to see them evolve on HP and what’s been done on the other parks to make UK the main HP place to be. Also more importantly an entirely new park as well. Either way very exciting. Will mean Alton Towers , Chessington and Thorpe park will have to step up the games which I feel is good for everyone!
As the U.K. already has a Harry Potter attraction I think Universal will not bother putting it into the park. There is talk they will put a Lord of the Rings land in the park instead and that they will not really copy any of there parks they have around the world and that it will be lots of unique attractions. For me they would be better off just focusing on the rumours that they will be a park in Barcelona and turn it into a universal park instead as better year round weather.
@@TheSamtheman081 That is pretty fair, we do have the harry potter studio so i think that is good enougth for us, lord of the rings being a possibility though, that would be amazing
Idk bruh. I think universal Orlando will still be the main Harry Potter destination because think about it. Orlando has already has three massive Harry Potter lands - Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley/London, and soon The Ministry of Magic (also said to be combined with a fantastic beasts attraction as well as the Great Hall restaurant).
Universal has already stated that they arnt going to be introducing themes that are already existing in their parks. So sadly HP wont be thing in this one if it goes ahead. However i believe the lord of the rings might have high potential to be part of it. They said they want to try incorporate native IPs into their themeparks for exmaple china got kungfu panda, and japan had a nintendo theme. So its likely that as LOTR is a british ip this would be a big one andalong with other british IPs.
@@ashleygoggs5679 BBC I suspect would be keen to get Doctor License into a park.
I really hope it happens it would be nice to have a universal park that is not thousands of miles away. I feel like little is going to happen until epic universe is done
It will probably take them 2 or 3 years just to get planning permission, if not longer. So I don't think construction will start until 27/28, probably won't open until the early 2030s.
I love how professional this video was 😀
Thank you
If Universal go ahead i think they will do a few things
1. try to buy out the residents between the 2 sites.
2. propose a major renovation of the train station to facilitate the majorly increased traffic to the site
3. look into removing/rerouting manor road and having it go to the south of the site as to not have a divide in the sites.
I think these 3 things would make life substantially easier for Universal as having those residents gone will remove the chance of noise complaints, the new station will increase the access to the site and could lead directly to the entrance, and the road removal/move would allow Universal to connect the 2 plots resulting in a more immersive and complete park experience for guests
They're already trying to buy us out
That is exactly what they will do. The residents should demand a better home/area for relocation.
@@thatsawrap818 Lawyers already trying to screw us on the deal that was initially offered 🙄
This land really is in the perfect position, especially for me. Close between Brum and London so travel would be great from both areas and anywhere nearby
It originally looked like you were on a field but it’s good to hear that the land of some old industry is going to be re used.
The railway at Kempston Hardwick will be due a upgrade when the marston vale line becomes part of the east west rail link between Cambridge & Oxford
Looks a really big area Shawn, bigger than I first thought, gonna be epic for UK if this gets build, will inspire massively other parks in the whole of UK to step up their game, with newer & bigger coasters & ride developments, maybe even some bigger IP's in parks? Might even get a Doctor Who land in somewhere like Alton Towers Resort? Which is where I think it should be built unless this new resort if happens builds a 2nd gate park like London Resort with mixed original & IP themed rides types. I really hope they have a main Gate 1 as the studios park & in future say a few years later? Build a 2nd gate like London Resort with mixed IP's & Original Attractions? Think it would be very good, take some ideas from London Resort themselves? Defo could see them upgrade stations, could even maybe see these two lines connect to HS2 via HS1? Maybe hope to have some Javelin trains go up there? Would be useful I think? If not? Just make the stations bigger? Nice update, look forward to hearing more soon and cheers. 😀👍
It’s a huge plot! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Unfortunately, I've lost too much faith in the UK to believe in such a nice thing happening. The Torries decided it would be a great idea to use funds from HS2 for London pavement repairs, its a tragedy.
@@beerenmusli8220 They decided to borrow money to fund maintenance. Which is always a terrible idea. HS2 money is all borrowed money.
@@DavidKnowles0 How is that relevant to what I said?
I knew it was a matter of days before you were on site. If this does go ahead, it’ll be amazing to see the transitions from this video to the finished park!
Thank you!
I hope it happens. I would feel sorry for the people in the houses between the two plots but I would imagine it being better than a brownfield site.
It wouldn’t have as much impact as the former brickworks which is positive for them!
@ThemeParkWorldwide I'm Excited For Transformers The Ride 3d Similater 3d Dark Ride And Meet The Transformers Optimus Prime Bumblebee And Megatron Is Coming To New Theme Park Universal Studios Great Britain In The UK It Will Be The Same As Universal Studios Florida
@@ThemeParkWorldwide The brickworks that have been gone 35+ years? Oh yeah I'm sure those were really bothering them and a Universal theme park will be a huge improvement...
I'm still remaining cautiously optimistic however this makes me more excited I still can't believe we're even talking about a Universal Studios Great Britain even coming to UK
The railway will give a big boost to this potential project as it will be included in the EWR route that is being built between Oxford and Cambridge
I still can't believe that this could potentially happen! So exciting!
Fantastic video idea. On-location filming is always interesting
Thanks!
We're so excited as this project is literally 2 minutes away from where we live 🙌
Christ the traffic and noise is gonna be mental for you
Yeah fortunately I live in Milton Keynes, so it's about 20 minutes away so we should be a lot more sheltered from it.
Not looking forward to more M1 traffic.
Let's hope they do a good job on train links!
@@richardcook1987The current plans look like they would build a new Thameslink station. Having it sandwiched between the future East-West Rail line (Oxford to Cambridge) and London-Sheffield line (via Luton Airport) with dedicated stations makes so much sense.
Hopefully if it happens they will commit to that because you could possibly get almost half the visitors arriving by train then.
@@bighamster2 suspect they will shift the planned location for EWR station, they were to have it on the Thameslink so it's all in one place.
So that people from Manchester csn take HS2/west coast mine line and interchange to take EWR. And likewise
Also on the ECML then EWR.
Then new station on Thameslink.
It's a genius location really.
Going to be weird to visit Universal Studios in the UK instead of going over to the USA to Florida
I’d be doing both haha!
I am so excited considering i live 20 mins down the road from this site!
Excellent job, Shawn. Looking forward to your documentation of this project.
Thank you!
Fingers crossed this park gets to happen! Amazing video and I love the aerial video work!
Thank you!
Be interesting to see if they build a multi park two gate resort with a city walk style hub shopping district at the centre. A lot of Universal Orlando's customers are from the UK so I doubt it would be anything like what's already there, in order to keep the British Holiday makers coming to Orlando it would have to be a unique experience with different rides.
They is loads of rumors of British centric rides ranging from the plausible to wild cards things like James Bond doctor who Paddington and lord of the rings come up quite a bit but I have also heard rumors of Roald Dahl or a galar region Pokemon area I feel like most are just a wishlist so I will add the peaky blinders
Bond stunt show perhaps. But defo feel a british vibe needed to make it unique. I also heard the LOTR but is it to niche? Would live it though. Disney has the castles, universal has the two towers. Florida has volcano bay, UK has Mt Doom watwr Park 😂
As much as I would love it to happen, I personally can't see how a multi--park resort with City Walk will work here, there simply isn't enough in the local area to attract people to such a destination. Orlando is a tourist hotspot so it works. The same could be said for London, if the Paramount/THR had gone ahead you could see how a multi park resort and shopping district would work perfectly fine, along with half a dozen hotels, but here in Bedford? Hmm, I don't think so. It'll be 1 park with 3-4 hotels, something a long the lines of Port Aventura.
@@PixPetePortAventura has two parks
@@liamcollinson5695 Can't see Disney being too happy with Universal developing Doctor Who whilst they're paying for the TV show. Think Bond would be a stunt show at best, can't see how you get a ride out of that IP
My only concern is that second plot of land is clearly FARM LAND, we need to keep as farm land free from the clutches of developers as we need FOOD to survive!
Here here. Build on brown field sites fine but we need our farm land.
In years to come,most of that farmland between Bedford & MK will be built on
Much like MK & Buckingham.
Thanks for keeping us up to date, Shawn. Very exciting times. I know the Universal parks are based on films, but there's some enduring British literature they might be able to use too, such as Sherlock Holmes and Wind in the Williows. Hound of the Baskervilles coaster? Escape from the Wild Wood?
Incredibly unlikely!
Not forgetting Robin Hood, William Shakespeare and Harry Potter too!
@@jamestaylor6760 Harry Potter is already a massive themed area in every Universal Studios resort, so that in a no-brainier
It’ll be interesting to see! Stay tuned for further updates!
Universal is based on Universal films, not just any production. So they'll probably not represent anything else, unless they buy the rights to do so.
I'm so hyped for this ever since it was announced recently, I've always wanted to go to Universal Studios(specifically for the Jurassic Park/World section and Halloween Horror Nights as im a dino and horror nerd😅) so hearing and seeing this has made my day,thanks you guys🤩
(Edit-typo)
It’s such an exciting project!
You should make a planet coaster series trying to copy the concept art as the best as you can
Ah this is so exciting! I love your videos! :)
Thank you
I'm so Psyched for this as if Universal GB open in 5 weeks, except we have to wait 5 years 😭😭😭
What brilliant news for the uk , jobs, tourism absolutely fantastic.
only one hurdle left: to get past the NIMBYs
Hey Shawn, great video! I’ve been loving how you guys have been expanding your content recently, keep it up!
Thank you
Fun fact Kempston Hardwick station is one of the most least used stations on the rail network I can't see it being redeveloped until the numbers come up
I can see it turning into "Universal Studios Station". If they want to encourage visitors by rail it'll need redeveloping along with Manor Road and the links with the A421
Or just retcon it into a mini Kings Cross Station if they're going all out on the Harry Potter@@KempstonHardwickResident
Exciting although I did just spend 8 minutes looking at an empty field 😆
WOW this would be awesome could you just imagine one in the uk always wanted to visit a universal park
This puts the whole project into perspective, thank you for this
Thanks for watching!
I wonder how much of an issue those houses in the middle will end up being? I can’t blame them if they’re hesitant or even seek a large buyout. I’d personally love to live in the middle of a theme park but it’s a big ask for others.
I heard that efforts have been made to buy them out
I’d suspect there’d be a buyout situation if that’s possible. Paying way over the asking price.
Would love this to be built, has great transport access and not forgetting Centre parks is just up the road👍👍
If it was my house I would be 100% staying. I don’t mind living right next to your theme park. I’ll accept free pass whenever I like as compensation for the disturbance!
@@ObsessiveGeek what if it was between you moving or the park not opening?
We have to be careful not to annoy the residents of the area by bombarding them with people visiting the site and flying drones over the site
If that doesn't annoy them, I'm sure years of Plant equipment and construction will...
As it’s a very interesting and large project, I’m sure the area has already had a huge amount of attention!
Too late! 😂
Great video Shawn . That's a large plot of land. It's going to improve the area a lot and exciting times ahead. It's going to be epic when it eventually comes to Bedford.
i suspect it will only get bigger. I could easily see them buying the lakes, an the warehouses. But first they need to get those houses on Manor bought up.
Wow! This is huge for our country! Can't wait to see construction start,about time we had something like this. 👍😁
Very exciting times!
Great video as always Shawn and Charlotte. I think that’s the perfect area for Universal Studios Great Britain 🇬🇧🌍🎢
It really is 👌
@@ThemeParksAndAttractions yep 👍🏻
Good to see how flat the park would be. Also bigger than I expected. The only downside I see is the residential houses in middle who could be a potential blocker
Someone reported they have already be given large, well above market offers for their properties already. It only about 8 houses.
What a dream! I never thought we'd get a Universal Studios over here of all places - this will be quite a kick in the behind for exusting UK theme parks too, if they want to compete then they'll have to try a bit harder!
It’s very exciting!
So you have missed out the impact of the lorries for the incinerator site, the changing of the railway station/line as part of the East-West rail project, the new generator site, and at the other end of Stewartby planning permission already in place for a 1 million sq foot + sound stage and about 1000 jobs. As it stands Jct 13 on the M1 grinds to a halt most days, sometimes several times in one day. It's going to be a massive change for all the communities in the area.
I’m sure they’ll be major investment in roads and transportation around the area
Finally some good news. I really hope this project happens. It will be great to see a major new park open in Britain Keep the updates coming & keep up the great work.
Let’s hope so!
This is awesome news I’m hopeful that we’ll have a brand new famous branded theme park Universal start their foundations in place for this epic new park, this park will definately have a positive impact on boosting large tourism opportunities to come explore our very own British universal studios, I can’t wait to see the construction site gets underway with the ball rolling, I’m totally super super excited intrigued Thanks 😊 for sharing these updates great update vlog Shawn and Charlotte 👍👍👍
They need to get you both on their planning team, you'd be great! :D I wonder when we'll hear about confirmation, if it goes ahead I can't wait to hear what ideas they have in store for theming too. Would love to be a fly on the wall at other big UK parks right now, wonder what their thoughts are. Looking forward to following this with you guys, thanks again for all you do x
Get it built! Let's go!
All I'd ask of them is to build everything indoors 🤣🌧
i agree. lol
It will definitely feature indoor areas if it goes ahead
I remember going on the E.T adventure ride at Universal Orlando in 1989, that was indoors. And the Alfred Hitchcock tour
Just don’t see how they will get any clearance for building height on the area. Also that village will not want it on their doorstep!
it is hard to imagine that Universal is coming to the UK!
Hopefully so 🤩
I really hope this is going to happen I don’t think I’ve been this excited for something in the uk before, I’m keeping my fingers crossed and defiantly can’t wait for the updates! ❤
This was a really well put together video, and shows just how huge this could be. I'm not sure the residents in the housing between the two areas of land will be feeling as excited though, and I wonder if they will have to be purchased to allow the park to work between the two sites.
They were already offering money for our houses through a 3rd party before the news broke
Hope they consider building a huge rooftop to encourage more folk to visit even during bad weather.
Edit: To everyone suggesting UK branded rides, beyond a James Bond themed stunt show I seriously doubt they’ll change their winning formula they use for every single resort.
They could do quite a bit just with James Bond alone though, definitely more than enough to win over the general public for embracing our secret agent over a lesser American copy that hasn’t been relevant in awhile.
Harry Potter is way more popular than LOTR and it’s set in the UK so would be weird not to have that here.
Expect to see mostly the same things you would in the other resorts, with exception to older rides. They already have a ton a major blockbuster titles they can use to pad out the land.
That’s brilliant news. Plenty of job opportunities
The editing in this video is amazing
Thank you
That's going to be great for the local residents. Noise, more people, more traffic. Good luck trying to sell a house in the area once this gets built
I can see it actually increasing property value due to demand for accommodation and houses nearby
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Depends on the buyer I guess. If you don't have a young child, can't see you buying around here.
More jobs for local people.
AirBnB opportunity will be an infinite money glitch@@ZDProds-c8p
Omg!!! Thats so exciting!!! 😍🇬🇧🎢💖
it would be exciting if it was also a working film/TV studio and visitors truly got to see behind the scenes
But Walt Disney studios Paris France at Disneyland Paris France was also a film/tv studio and visitors truly do go see behind the scenes
It's so exciting to get a place like universal in the UK, wonder what they are gonna have there
My guess is…the same stuff as every other Universal Studios Resort…crazy I know!
@@ObsessiveGeekyh probablys Gonna be a generic model of it
Hopefully some awesome coasters worth a 6 or 7 hour journey from Cornwall where I live.
@@MrRailjunkie getting a plane to London will drastically shorten the length of time it takes to get there.
It would take me over eight hours, so definitely would rather not have so much time travelling as not going to arrive in the best frame of mind if I did.
Excellent video, love the drone shots! excited to see what’s to come👍
Thank you!
I am sooooo excited about this project and I think universal should get the public involved in the build… cos one thing us Brits aren’t famous for is respecting things, so getting the public involved would probably be wise because we’ll respect it more and look after it!
It’s very exciting!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide of course I can’t see it being better than the one in the USA but they might just surprise us and make a UK theme park better than America… for once!
Can’t believe you forgot your wellies!! 😂
This is awesome, can’t wait, exciting times ahead if it’s going to be anything like Universal Orlando.
So exciting
I have positive thoughts about this coming in the future. It'll be very interesting to see the competition between other parks like thorpe park, alton towers and many more. It's also good to know that there are motorways and transportation linking up to the resort from big cites, especially London and Birmingham. I'm hyped 🤗🤗😲😲
What some dont realise is we also have Cardington in Bedford which a lot of major movies are made, ie batmans various ones, james bond, justice league, fantastic beasts, justice league & so on.
if they do go ahead I feel like a UK version of Epic Universe is the right Call, a Wizarding world park as the 2nd plot of land seems obvious if Harry Potter is still wortth the investment in 6-8 years time and Horror Nights/ Nintendo World seems like a smart choice, it also has to be good enough for people in the UK to choose to go there as well as going too or rather than the Florida Parks, I can see it being similar to Universal Japan with large weather covers to stay open in the Fall and Winter possibly but only time will tell whether the UK gets such a major branded theme park or this will be a failed project.
Not to mention, this would be insane if they had a Nintendo World, it could be the Universal Equivlant too Disneyland Paris
Rumour is it will be similar to Epic Universe. They’ve also purchased some houses at well over market value already.
The train line which includes kempston hardwick is actually really busy. The line has just reopened a few weeks back with new trains and it’s packed in the morning and early evenings as the kids who live locally near the various stations on this line go to the private schools and universities in Bedford. People like to moan but I wouldn’t rule this out in the longer term plus it’s been announced today that yet more major roadworks are starting on the m1 from Luton to Bedford for the next 12 mths so somethings brewing.
I used to be the only kid who got on and off at Kempston Hardwick 😂 Was defo packed at school times from the other stations on the route though
Great video Shawn about This is the future location of Universal Studios Great Britain! In December 2023 Universal Destinations & Experiences confirmed that they had purchased 480 acres of land in Bedford, United Kingdom for a potential theme park and resort. In this video, we take a close look at the site from on the ground and also from the air. We talk about the benefits of building a large resort on this site including existing infrastructure, public transport connections, and much more! keep the good videos coming on the channel Shawn and Charlotte. 😀😀👍👍
This is an absolutely amazing announcement form Universal, that they've spent the cash and bought the land and it would really benefit the UK if it goes ahead. The only downside for me is the travel distance/time - I live in Devon but a good idea for a few days away maybe 😁
What you on about, the alternative is a even greater distance so this is much closer and more affordable in comparison.
I live in Scotland and would happily travel.
Devon to Bedford is a lot shorter than Devon to Florida.
@@acurisur Imagine having to explain that to someone 😂
I live very close and will be covering this project in detail on my TH-cam channel if and when construction starts.
this is also where the gallimimus were in jurassic world dominion
There is a small airport nearby so they are limited somewhat. I feel that line between bedford and st pancras will get the station as the marston vale line doesn’t really connect without reversing at Bedford or Bletchley coming from Milton Keynes direction.
That train line barely gets used. I've stopped my car at the signals at Kempston Hardwick and its usually just one carriage going past. The main line between Bedford and St Pancras would need a new station at the site.
Great video as per usual shawn shout to the theme park worldwide drone making it appearance
It will have to be mostly an indoor park obviously because of the British weather.
But they've done it before, and Universal are going from strength to strength.
Rumours are they could be looking at areas such as 007 and Lord of the Rings. Their sites in Florida are amazing, and I really hope they come to our country.
it wouldn’t need to be mostly indoors if alton towers and thorpe park can work outside so can universal
It doesn’t necessarily need to be a mostly indoor park. Bedford has similar weather to Paris and Disneyland Paris isn’t mostly indoor and stays open all year. Same goes for many other European parks.
Orlando actually gets more rainfall than Bedford does, though obviously it’s a lot warmer in Orlando so the rain doesn’t seem as bad.
They would want it to be an all year round resort, and most theme parks with big outdoor attractions close in the winter months over here. Disneyland Paris doesn't have as many of these big rides, so many of their attractions can stay open or are indoor attractions.
Universal will get the balance just right, they definitely know what they are doing. I can see more dark rides and indoor attractions than Florida, many different themes than Orlando, and it will definitely be an all year round resort.
@@dmitchy4904 Thorpe Park and Alton Towers close in the winter months for the weather and maintenance.
Universal will want an all year round resort.
They'll get the balance spot on.
@dmitchy4904 at present not a single park in the UK is open all year round this is due in the main to weather, you are correct it doesn't need to be indoor but if its not it's would see a much reduced ride offering in the winter
Hi, Great video! FYI I commented on twitter. There are major upgrades happening on the Thameslink Line and Marston Vale Lines over the coming 5 years, with a new Station being installed by Bedford Borough Council called Wixams Station and an new East / West Rail Line which is a major upgrade of the Marston Vale Line. I’ve sent you links on twitter. I strongly believe that this land has been purchased with the rail infrastructure improvements in mind as the projects are huge investments for the country and everything seems to be planned along side each other
Thanks for sharing
The council & government will surely work with Universal and plan upgrades to the rail and road infrastructure if it goes ahead. I expect Universal will pay for a lot of it. We think it would be something like a new station at Kempston Hardwick, and a new junction off the A421 dedicated for park traffic. If I think about travelling to DLP - we fly to CDG, then get a dedicated shuttle bus... It would be the same here - Fly to LHR (or Luton?), then shuttle bus direct to the park down the M25, M1 and A421
Exciting stuff and a very professional vid Shaun 🙌🏽🧱👍🏽
Thank you
Would love to see James Bond, Lord of the Rings, and Possibly Doctor Who themed areas too, some thing not done before and unique to the UK... Imagine a James Bond Stunt Show!
As I live here in Bedford I am extremely excited to see how this turns out and im getting ready for the prices to go up. 😂
I would love to see a Nintendo World there if this project goes ahead.
Bedford is so close to me. I hope this goes ahead. Universal in Florida has some fantastic rides.
Domain name registration is already stated that universal studios is coming to germany
I would be Interested to know what the residents think and how they will be supported. However, I'm certainly not against the idea. Many people can only dream of going to Florida, so for a resort to be developed here would be awesome. And, competitively, it should give other companies (not looking anyone in particular *cough* Merlin *cough* ) A kick up the previable bum to smarten up some of their more tired looking parks. Boosts to tourism and jobs is always good.
Could do with those thousands of jobs to be honest. You know for definite that they’d pay good to encourage people to work there. British jobs for British folk!
So exciting!
I hope this will gets built. Many European themepark lovers, go to Florida for Universal Orlando. And now we get in Europe. I can not wait untill the construction is going on, on the site.
Loving this type of documentary-style video!
It’s hard enough getting a couple wind turbines up without the gov forcing it. So if the local put up an defence I can’t see it happening. You have to really fight to do anything in this country
One word.
Money.
They'll easily get the permissions
Fantastic for the UK and employment in the local area. Lets hope they are ready to plan for a cold and wet park, plenty of cover please :D
Euro Disney is often wet and cold!
have the locals said anthing yet 😮. great video as always shawn 😄
I gotta say, this is very exciting news! Think about it, mate, the park could feature as follows:
- Super Nintendo World
- DreamWorks Land
- Woody Woodpecker KidZone
- Movie Studio Lot
- You get the idea.
Also, listen closely to another idea I have in mind. Can you imagine a flock of Woody Woodpecker-like security animatronics (with two security cameras for the eyes) walking around the park in order to prevent and detect crime, plus locate lost children instantly whenever they get lost? That would be SO CUTE!!!
Now think about it, this could pretty much be the very first theme park on Earth to incorporate security animatronics no doubt, especially for enhanced surveillance.
And I live about 5 mins away in Bedford town centre . Massive bit of land at the back of Marston moreteyne. Hangers just up the road where the studios are. In cardington I work for the post office was saying to people at work about how big the land is as I plotting houses near by.
Great for the economy if it goes ahead....Hope they bring back the bbtf ride for here. :)
I've done some digging and found that Bedford doesn't appear to have been first choice, or perhaps wasn't the only choice. The concept art that was leaked, is a genuine Universal Great Britain resort, but it is not Bedford. The background in the image bugged me as I couldn't fit it on the Bedford site, but that because it's down the road on outskirts of Milton Keynes, in what is part of the Milton Keynes East development area. Just to the east of the M1, junction 14, and when looking in a South West direction, the background is a perfect match!
Thanks for sharing!
Ooh so exciting ❤🎉
I hope they build quick, otherwise i will be too old to enjoy this park! Do you think they should do an open park with a separate indoor section with indoor rides for all year-round park opening? I can't wait to watch you cover this!❤🎉
Never too old.
I’m 45 and still visiting as many resorts as I can.
Even if I’m 50 by the time this is completed I WILL go to it!
@ObsessiveGeek aww, thanks for being nice. Might see ya there! 😊
@@scratchoftheday2023 100%
I’ve never been to Universal Studios, I watch this channel just so I can get a second hand experience of what it’s like.
I will die happy to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
If you see a grown man acting like a child that’ll be me! 😅
Looks like you're going to get a world class theme park in your back yard ... maybe dreams do come true Shawn!
It would be amazing if so!
I think this is promising finally we’re getting a major theme park in the uk 🇬🇧 and I don’t feel like the London resort is happening anytime soon
Who cares at this point a universal studios uk certainly seems to be a way better alternative if it gets the green light which seems very likely 😅
The London resort will be based on the film studio, paramount pictures to be related to both paramount and paramount pictures to be focusing on Hollywood and the movies
@@kylesievertsen6 Paramount dropped out of the project years ago
