Universal Studios Great Britain

With so much talk on the possibility of Universal Studios opening a park in Bedford, UK. We will keep you updated with all the latest news and updates as they happen.

As a current run-down on the current situation in regards to the possible Universal Studios coming to Bedford:

  • Universal have confirmed that they have purchased land near Bedford
  • They are in the early stages of conducting feasibility studies for a potential park and resort on the site
  • It will be many months before a decision is made regarding the project’s overall feasibility
  • The purchase of Cloud Wing UK Limited has been confirmed
  • No creative content for the resort has yet been confirmed.

We can’t at this state forget the fact that it’s in very early stages, and as such there isn’t anything at all guaranteed, and it could still be something that will not happen.

This isn’t the first time we have had high hopes for a major new UK Theme Park, as we have had high hopes in the past of a UK Theme Park, with the London Resort.
