This morning in Beijing, the contractor for Universal Beijing, Beijing Construction Engineering Group Co Ltd, brought the Chinese media out to showcase their "Miscellaneous Soils Recycling Program." The program uses a specially-built temporary disposal production line that processes the "miscellaneous soils" on site into recycled aggregate and reduced soil, which is then used for backfilling the earth at the site. This machinery is located at the construction site west of the theme park towards where the second theme park will eventually be built. The contractor announced that "the first construction phase of the Universal Studios theme park in Beijing is going smoothly." Pictured is photos of the disposal production line from today and the cranes seen in the background are for the theme park. Additional photos of the recycling program from earlier this year can be found on post #132 on this thread: https://www.themeparx.com/universal-studios-beijing/?p=11429#post11429

On May 22 a new construction milestone was reached for the upcoming metro station that will lead into CityWalk! The main structure of the station has been completed. I could be incorrect but based on photos it seems that "main structure" means the underground part of the station is done but the outdoor part including the rolling canopy shown in concept art is what's not complete. The metro station will begin operation at some point next year.

Thank you for the verification. I have two questions that you might be able to answer:

1. Do you know if a waterpark is part of the plan or is that not until phase 2?
2. So far the lands seem to be Transformers, Jurassic World, Wizarding World - Hogsmeade, Waterworld, and Kung Fu Panda - so that’s five themed areas of the park. Do you know in total how many themed areas the park will have?

1.) I Don't know anything outside the theme park area guessing on that probably phase 2.

2.) 7 by my count if you include the hollywood theme area like USJ has as an entry area You can also see some minion themed stuff in those images.

I do know some of this is in the air on when things will be done but from what I can gather this is for phase 1 I'm not sure because contracts have not been awarded for everything
