Universal Studios’ Potential Expansion
Universal Studios has recently acquired 480 acres of land near Bedford, contemplating the establishment of its first-ever theme park in the United Kingdom.
Renowned for its successful parks in various global locations, including Hollywood, Orlando, Beijing, Osaka, and Singapore, the company eyes European expansion.
The chosen site, the former London Brick Company works at Stewartby, closed in 2008, has been selected due to its proximity to Luton Airport and a convenient 45-minute rail journey from London.
Anticipation and Preparations
While a final decision is pending, Universal Studios has taken preliminary steps, such as registering the website ‘Universal Studios Great Britain.’
A spokesperson for the multinational entertainment giant emphasized the strategic location but maintained that a formal announcement is yet to be made.
This move mirrors Disney’s prior considerations for a UK park, eventually opting for Paris.
The British Theme Park Landscape
Reflecting on Britain’s history with theme parks, Littlejohn notes a chequered track record.
Winter Wonderlands, capitalizing on the festive season, often promise enchanting landscapes but deliver disappointing experiences akin to makeshift camps.
Littlejohn humorously recounts instances of subpar attractions, citing the Lapland New Forest fiasco as a notable example.
A Cautionary Tale from Fiction
Referencing his past novel, “To Hell In A Handcart,” Littlejohn draws parallels with a fictional tacky theme park called Goblin’s.
The park portrayed in the novel is far from Disneyland, with surly staff, overpriced food, and dysfunctional operations.
Littlejohn humorously points out the challenges faced by the characters in the novel and suggests that Universal Studios must consider the unique obstacles of running a theme park in post-Covid Britain.
Richard Littlejohn provides a satirical take on the potential Universal Studios theme park in Britain, drawing on past experiences and fictional scenarios.
His witty commentary touches on the pitfalls of British theme parks, emphasizing the need for careful consideration by Universal Studios.
The humor injected serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of theme park ventures and the challenges that may lie ahead, adding a lighthearted tone to the discussion.
