    Local news video showing the parking garage being built:



    https://v.qq.com/x/page/q0867agh90m.html

    At the end of the video it shows the theme park but I think that footage is from a previous news report.

    Also, you can listen to Tom Mehrmann, president and general manager of Universal Beijing Resort, be interviewed on a Singapore radio station here: https://omny.fm/shows/money-fm-893/read-with-michelle-martin-tom-mehrmann-taming-the

    Most of the interview is about his time at Ocean Park Hong Kong but Universal Beijing is mentioned towards the beginning and end.

    A new local news video (the first source below) gives us a great look at new renderings of the indoor Kung Fu Panda area and the video shows the work taking place on the building's structure. Note that these renderings are showing the main indoor area but connected to that in the back is a large indoor Kung Fu Panda boat ride which is not pictured.

    Excellent new photos showing the rapid construction taking place

    The first supports have gone up for the Transformers roller coaster - can you spot them?

    Brand new aerial photos of Universal Beijing Resort - the front Universal-branded hotel is beginning to rise quickly! What's the one ride building that hasn't gone vertical yet and is just a pile of dirt?




    The answer is Fast & Furious: Supercharged

    Also we have our first look at a new, much more detailed scale model of the resort. The concept art in the second image is showing the Music Plaza Stage which is designed very similarly to what can already be found at Universal Studios in Orlando. The Music Plaza Stage will be located at the edge of the park's Hollywood themed area and at the intersection of the Transformers and Jurassic World areas. If you look closely enough you can ever spot the Transformers roller coaster in the top right. It seems that the display lights up certain areas of the scale model to correspond to what's being shown on the screen.

    Some random Universal Beijing updates from this week:

    1. The underground infrastructure for CityWalk was completed ahead of schedule



    2. Mike Davis, Senior Vice President of International Entertainment at Universal Creative, along with Jason Ramsburg, Entertainment Director of Universal Beijing, visited the Beijing Contemporary Music School, which is just up the road from the resort, to potentially work together as part of what would be a cultural exchange and cooperation of musical talent.









    3. Universal Beijing is now active on their official Weibo account (https://weibo.com/u/3937775216) and they now also have an official WeChat account - its WeChat ID is gh_e3b27d6c40ab
