Universal United Kingdom Resort
Bedfordshire
Set to become the UK's premier world class movie theme park and entertainment destination, Universal United Kingdom Resort is officially planned to open its gates in 2031. Located on a massive 500 acre site in Bedfordshire, the highly anticipated resort represents a historic £7.3 billion investment in UK tourism, backed by £1.3 billion in government infrastructure funding.
The resort will bring Universal's legendary immersive storytelling, cutting edge rides, and blockbuster movie worlds to the UK for the very first time. Designed for year round, 365 day operation, the initial phase of the development will feature a flagship theme park, a themed 500 room resort hotel, and a dedicated retail, dining, and entertainment district similar to the famous Universal CityWalk locations in Orlando and Hollywood.
Rides & Attractions
While specific ride line ups and themed lands are still securely under wraps, Universal is world renowned for its state of the art attractions.

- Immersive Themed Lands: Highly detailed environments that transport guests directly into iconic movie and television universes.
- Cutting Edge Dark Rides: Groundbreaking indoor attractions utilising advanced media, robotics, and tracking technology.
- Thrill Coasters: High speed, heavily themed roller coasters designed for adrenaline junkies.
