Universal Great Britain - Speculation & Rumors

I mean, it's probably not great that the recently released documents refer to their houses as "Expansions" when describing contingency plans for whether or not they sell.

Im not convinced the people who immediately call a reporter are taking the the time to read through it though!

Seems one of the residents from the BBC article is trying to drive people to the meeting.

Think he’d give me a lift?

I’m surprised the people behind the London Resort even thought that site was a good idea. They could have potentially got further along if they chose a better location.

They were never going to get anywhere, they had no money and it was literally all a ruse. It was a non starter from day 1z

I read part of a document that said despite their best efforts, they couldn’t identify who owns some land surrounding theirs.

That stuck out to me as quite interesting.

I could be wrong of course.

Looks like there are little segments of land that have never been registered:

Just me speculating here but if the Lake Zone is to be more on the side of hospitality, hotels and recreational areas. And the Core Zone is theme park use. I’d imagine to put in any second gate, they would have to build a large multi story car park to open up more land area. Inevitably I see them starting off with a surface parking area as it’s cheaper.

This is unless they have plans for other land uses in the area. The park itself will obviously have a number of years worth of expansion areas built in. But personally I do see a second gate if all things progress well for them. There’s only so much attraction replacement you can do, as we see with Disney they need more attractions to pad out capacity.

I haven’t seen it in these planning documents, but last year’s proposal documents listed the possibility of building garages if the needs for the resort grew beyond its current scope.
