They are apparently adding a façade/wall/backdrop to WaterWorld to block the apartment buildings in the background...

A new article has come out from Xinhua News Agency about the construction workers who decided this year to stay at the park and continue working instead of going home for the upcoming Spring Festival. Some of the workers decided to stay and continue working so the park can be completed as soon as possible. One of the workers says that once the park opens he will bring his family from Sichuan to visit Beijing so they can enjoy the park together. In celebration of the Spring Festival the workers living on-site are being paid extra and receiving additional housing amenities.

Earlier today Universal Beijing Resort released their official mobile app which can be downloaded here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/universal-beijing-resort/id1535766300

Currently the app allows users to browse the stores, restaurants, shows, rides, and hotels coming to the resort as a list and on a map. Interestingly the map doesn't show the Jurassic World archway on either side which is odd but not important. The app confirms the names of some of the attractions: the Inverted Powered Coaster in Jurassic World Isla Nublar is named 'Jurassic Flyers', the junior coaster in Minion Land is named 'Loop-Dee Doop-Dee' and the How to Train Your Dragon show in the Hollywood area is named 'Untrainable'.

Here's what the map in the app looks like and if you download it you can zoom in to see it in more detail:

Companies had wanted to open parks in Asia since the 2000s. It was to help expand their brand reach. There were attempts such as Dubailand to allow easy access to the Asian markets. There were various proposals for Universal Studio Parks around Asia such as in South Korea, Shanghai, and India.
