The M1/A421 junction is terrible. No idea how that got designed. I think it did feature in the previous Universal material as being a junction planned for upgrade which is brilliant.
USGBU with an update. Visited the different locations.
Not sure why you'd be doing archaelogical surveys on the remains of an industrial site. Especially something like a Brickworks which probably has substantial foundations to accomodate the giant chimneys they were using.
This is likely just a prepatory clearing so that they have a staging area for the early work on the Core Zone if it gets the go ahead.

Would also be an ideal fit for one of the EU expansion pads.View attachment 21701

Universal Studios doing a good job on PR still - inviting Bedford school pupils to events:

"They told us what types of restaurant would be there. One of them included the chocolate emporium, which sounded absolutely stunning!"
UNIVERSAL STUDIO MEETING!

Some great little clues in that write up by the local pupils. They’ve got Executive Show Producers already identified in Universal Creative for the park’s attractions; there’s some artwork about possible ideas for the park which they’re happy to share; Toothsome’s Emporium likely to find a home in CityWalk (yay!); 800 room hotel in the first phase, etc.
We need to get Livie and Richie to post here so we can bombard them with questions! Nothing quite so exciting ever happened to me when I was Head Boy.

Hotel seems to have grown from 500 room to 800.
Yes, I thought that was the case. 800 rooms I think is the same size as the Universal Grand Hotel in Beijing?
Just for the avoidance of doubt, the school which was invited to the presentation was a primary school, so the report by the Head Boy and Head Girl was written by 11 year olds (not 16 or 18 year olds which I assumed on first seeing the link to the school’s website).
Any idea what characters those things were? I’m very unfamiliar with Universal IP aimed at young kids.
EDIT: Earl the Squirrel, apparently. A park mascot at Christmas (perhaps answering the question “will it be a year-round park?”).

Looks modern rather than ancient. A buried irrigation pipe or power cable, backfilled with gravel? I think the little red flag next to it indicates a buried power supply or similar?

Yeah, Earl the Squirrel and also Lil' Boo from HHN by the sounds of it. Although I have just realised that text isn't actually on the pageAny idea what characters those things were? I’m very unfamiliar with Universal IP aimed at young kids.

Very clever move from Universal here, you get the kids excited and they'll go to their parents and tell them how great it's gonna be etc etc. Then if a parent tries to be a NIMBY they'll end up with their child hating them for it .

I wonder if they are inviting a number of schools to these meetings at the corn exchange.
Hills Academy is in north Bedford in a fairly middle class area. Maybe I just answered my own question.

I think it'll have Beijing like elements, the Hotel over the gate and more covered areas etc etc. But I don't see it being a Beijing repeat, they certainly won't do that Kung Fu Panda indoor area.
