🔥 BREAKING NEWS 🔥

Blackstone — part-owners of Merlin Entertainments (Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Legoland) — is preparing to announce a £100 BILLION UK investment during Trump’s visit 🇬🇧🇺🇸

The private equity giant says the money will be spread across British assets over the next 10 years. For our theme parks, long criticised for ageing rides and tired facilities, this could be a game-changer if the money were to find it's way toward them 🎢✨

Could this be for upgraded attractions, new rides, and world-class experiences that put UK parks back on the global map.

👉 And with Universal expanding in the UK, could this spark a new wave of competition?

Have a read of the full article in the comments below and let us know in our Facebook comments what you think this could mean for the UK theme park landscape!

Universal Studios UK, filmed Sunday 14th September 2025 by drone.

Lots more deliveries since our last site update only a week ago with new plant machines and new containers delivered, work is certainly starting to ramp up.★...

Wow — the Daily Mail really went in on UK theme parks today, and honestly… I kind of agree. 🤔

When you look at Merlin parks, the value just doesn’t add up:
🚗 Cost to get there
💸 Cost to park
🎟️ Cost to get in
🍔 Paying over the odds for poor food
🎢 …and then you realise how few rides you actually manage to get on.

So what do you think — is Merlin still worth it? Or are their days numbered?

Universal UK will almost definitely charge more than Alton Towers, but would you pay extra for:
✨ A more polished experience
🚆 Better transport links
🙌 An overall smoother day out

A nice quiet Sunday on the Universal Studios UK site this morning. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next week brings and hope this rubbish weather clears off.

Do you own a B&B, hotel, or private let in the Bedford area? We want to hear from you!

We’re building a dedicated accommodation listing page for contractors who will be working at the Universal Studios UK site in Bedford. With construction set to run from 2026 through 2031, there will be a high demand for quality places to stay.

✨ Listing your property means:
✅ Long-term booking opportunities
✅ Steady, reliable guests
✅ Increased visibility to contractors working locally

💡 Special Offer: If you’re interested in adding your accommodation to our listing page, email me at [email protected] and I’ll send you a code to claim a 6-month listing for FREE as soon as I'm ready to list.

NOTE:

1) We are NOT affiliated with Universal or Comcast.

2) We have had many requests asking the same questions regarding accommodation for contractors and we simply don't know where you can stay if you come here to work so we have decided to build a listings page that brings contractors and accommodation businesses together.

3) Nothing has started yet, nor are there any jobs in construction that we know off, but it would be silly to wait until the last minute to build a database, so we are inviting local businesses now to get listed before the rush.

4) Please email me at [email protected] with your business detail and I'll send you a link and a 6 month code to make your listing.

A further trademark application today, this time for Universal United Kingdom Resort which we saw a few days ago but they must have forgotten to include Class 35.

So don’t worry—you’ll still be able to snag your Christmas ornaments, pet bowls, and bed linen after all 🤣

The proposed Universal Studios theme park in Bedford is expected to exert substantial pressure on local water resources, with projections indicating an increase in daily demand of approximately 50 per cent.

Planning documentation and company statements, however, indicate that this impact could be mitigated through a combination of interventions, including the development of additional supply connections, implementation of rainwater harvesting systems, water recycling initiatives, and efficiency improvements.
