Is that the end of the track from Stewartby on the east side of the southern parcel, by the pond?
Yes.

Aha interesting. I hope they keep that track open but fear it’ll be closed off if it gets the green light.Yes.

Any info on this?I think Universal GB getting a WaterWorld would be great.
It definitely should have the Jaws ride, since Universal Studios Japan still has it.
I also think it should have that Classic Monsters drive-in ride that was originally planned for Epic Universe, but got scrapped by the COVID pandemic.
Probably not one to link here but you can find it pretty easily with a google search.Any info on this?
I've seen the art posted on this forum a few times. I believe it was a blue sky pitch for USF that predates EU.Any info on this?
While I don't think this will happen, I think it's a great idea. Especially since Japan's version is probably going to close before the end of the decade, I would personally love this. A modern version of Jaws that's more technologically advanced than the original version would be so cool.It definitely should have the Jaws ride, since Universal Studios Japan still has it.
It wasn't planned lol. It was a pitch/concept (so basically blue sky) from entertainment designer John Wiersama.I also think it should have that Classic Monsters drive-in ride that was originally planned for Epic Universe, but got scrapped by the COVID pandemic.
A pretty unique concept/take on a trackless ride IMO.While I don't think this will happen, I think it's a great idea.

Drive-In Universal Monsters Ride Idea Entertained at Epic Universe
Blue sky and concept art released by a ride designer show a Monster Movie Drive-In ride once entertained for Epic Universe...themeparkmagazine.com
Honestly I hope that ride happens or at least something like it. It would be a perfect addition for USFA pretty unique concept/take on a trackless ride IMO.
Universal also filed an interactive patent for a trackless ride system guided by infrared lighting. In this patent guests interact with the RV to guide it through the attraction. This patent could lend itself well to the drive in ride concept.Honestly I hope that ride happens or at least something like it. It would be a perfect addition for USF
Love this. It seems to get ever so slightly more real to me every time we see another little snippet of news like this, so thanks for sharing. Slightly geeky question, you mentioned the logo on their hardhats, did the Kawasaki trucks also have a Universal logo on them? It looks like there might be, but tricky to see from this photo. If it did have a Universal logo was it the Universal Destinations and Experiences logo or was it Universal Studios Production Services logo?

Just curious, as if it was the Production Services logo the team on-site had probably borrowed some kit from a nearby Universal division so they can get around the site more easily. But if it's a Destinations and Experiences logo it suggests something rather more permanent than borrowing some stuff from a nearby part of the company.
@yepthatguy I have just driven along the Ampthill Road from Bedford and saw the buggies that you spotted over the weekend. There were three of them, all loaded with people, going along a track beside the road.
Coming from the retail park it was on the right hand side.
I have attempted a small map but my skills are not great.
The writing on the buggies was pretty small so I was unable to make out what it said. I could not see any logo.
