Universal Studios Explores Feasibility of UK Theme Park

The US film giant has purchased a 480-acre site in Bedfordshire, with a decision to proceed expected in the coming months.

Universal Studios has confirmed plans to explore the feasibility of a new theme park in the UK, having purchased a 480-acre site in Bedfordshire.
The site is centrally located, with over half of the UK's population within a two-hour journey and good links to London and Luton Airport.
Universal Studios, owned by US media giant Comcast, already operates theme parks in Hollywood, Orlando, Japan, Beijing, and Singapore.
The company has not yet decided on the creative content for the potential UK park, but it holds theme park rights to the Harry Potter universe, among others.
Universal Studios is in the early stages of planning and it will be many months before a decision to proceed is made.
