  1. Seriously? Do you have any source for this?

  2. I'm hearing the project is a go, without a New York or Jurassic Park area. Despicable Me/Minions/Super Silly Fun Land and Potter should open with the park.

  3. Universal Studios Beijing is going ahead!

    Yes that is true... However, it is not clear whether Universal will find another city or cancel the plans to build a park in China

    Universal pursuing a deal in China

    Comcast gained control of the Universal parks last year when it paid $13.75 billion to General Electric for 51 percent of NBCUniversal. Comcast quickly doubled down on the business, spending $1 billion to buy a stake in Universal Orlando owned by the Blackstone Group. G.E. and Blackstone were both more interested in wringing cash from the parks than expanding them; selling them entirely was regularly on the table.

    But Comcast is different. “We’re really feeling the love,” said Mr. Williams, Universal’s chief.

    Comcast has increased spending on the parks — by how much it won’t say — and is betting on strong international growth. Universal announced a deal in April to open a park in Moscow by the end of the decade. The company, which opened a park in Singapore two years ago, also has resorts in the works in South Korea and Dubai; it is pursuing a deal in China.
