Universal Studios has announced its plans to construct its first-ever theme park in the United Kingdom, specifically in Bedfordshire, set to open in 2031. This ambitious venture aims to become the largest tourist attraction in Britain, merging beloved American brands like “Jurassic Park” with iconic British figures such as Paddington Bear, Doctor Who, and Harry Potter.
The 476-acre park is expected to feature diverse themed areas, thrilling rides, a 500-room hotel, shopping outlets, and restaurants. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer celebrated the collaboration, highlighting that this multibillion-pound investment signifies a crucial boost for the UK’s recovering economy and reflects his administration's commitment to reducing bureaucratic hurdles that often delay large-scale projects.
“This is a transformative moment for Bedford, as we welcome one of Europe’s largest entertainment parks,” stated Starmer. The project is projected to create approximately 28,000 jobs and could potentially generate around $64 billion (£50 billion) in revenue for the region by 2055. Despite the excitement, the opening of the park remains years away as preparations begin on the currently vacant site, raising questions of uncertainty reminiscent of past theme park developments in the area.
