It is being reported that Universal Studios is planning what could be a 500-acre theme park in the UK.
Universal owners Comcast registered the domain names UniversalStudiosGreatBritain.com and UniversalGreatBritain.com in September this year.
Today, the Orlando Park Stop website reported that Comcast have taken a controlling stake in Cloud Wing UK Limited, owners of a brownfield site in Kempston Hardwick, Bedfordshire.
Speculation about a Universal theme park coming to the UK began last month on the respected Inside Universal forums.
Land acquisition
Comcast’s quarterly report filed with the United States Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in September said that about £214 million had been spend of the acquisition of new land.
The company said that the acquisition activity was for “potential theme park expansion opportunities”, without giving further details.
Orlando Park Stop said that Comcast’s combined land acquisition in Bedfordshire reaches about 500 acres.
On Monday, unverified concept art of a theme park depicting a Universal Studios Great Britain logo was posted on X.
RideRater has approached Universal Studios for comment.
