Theme park enthusiasts can celebrate as Universal is moving forward with its new resort in the UK. The highly-anticipated attraction in Bedfordshire now has an official name, Universal United Kingdom Resort. Government officials, including Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, participated in a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off the construction process.
Upon opening, the resort is expected to attract a significant number of thrill-seekers. The concept images reveal plans for at least six themed lands and three large roller coasters, although specific details about the attractions remain undisclosed by Universal.
