The photo was taken at Flight of the Hippogriff, where the steel structure of the new haunted house for 2025 has been completed. This haunted house is located to the left of the entrance to Paradise Mall in Minion Land, right next to Jack's Circus. The theme is currently unknown, but there are rumors that the theme of this haunted house is 'Haunted Piano Study.' However, it has recently been seen that USB has submitted a trademark for USJ's hamikuma, involving various goods. It is unclear how USB will present the hamikuma brought in from USJ, and whether the new haunted house will be related to hamikuma?

This makes me wonder if they are thinking about changing certain rides or making them more exciting. A survey went out a few weeks ago to annual pass holders. Asking us about which rides we thought were the most boring, and which rides we'd like to see updated.

I remember seeing this in a 2024 discussion. Tourists on a VIP tour asked the guide. They learned the Harry Potter expansion area has a reserved space for Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.
A few days ago, a netizen commented online. Their family member is a supplier. The supplier was already sending construction materials to Universal Beijing Resort.If there’s no official info on Beijing government websites, this information isn’t very reliable.

March 2025 Bird's - eye View Update: At present, the ground hardening has been completed at the sites of two brand - new haunted houses, which are awaiting construction. One known piece of information is that one of the new haunted houses may be called "The Haunted Piano Study". This information flashed by in the comments of online discussions, and its authenticity remains to be verified.
Currently, it's known that Freaky Farm may be newly upgraded on the original basis or replaced by a completely new haunted house theme. However, considering that in 2023 and 2024, the character of EMO Tu (the Demon Rabbit / the Zombie Rabbit) in Freaky Farm was widely loved by everyone, it is likely that Freaky Farm will be retained in some form. So the probability of Freaky Farm's return is only 50%.
As can be seen in the picture, Jack's Circus and House No. 81, which debuted in 2024, will be retained and will continue to operate during this year's Halloween event (Scares @ Universal 2025).

A new shortcut has been built, located at the junction of Minion Land and Jurassic World.

This was a hot topic recently on red book (小红书). Shanghai Disneyland had their first expansion (toy story land) about two years after the park opened. Nothing has even been officially announced at Universal Beijing yet.
I've been an annual pass holder for two years, the park is always very busy. I'm worried that if they don't announce something soon, that people will start losing interest.

I really want to know why UBR expansion is so slow compared to other parks.Officially opened in 2021,3 years later,still no any reliable information aboud next expansion!When?What the next theme will be?let alone what type of attraction?So,what's wrong with UBR?The initial plan of many years ago was to build three parks(nearly three times the current size) but now we are in the fourth year,still no any offical information about the next expansion project of the 1st park...with so much unused space in it.Could I assume there is something wrong with the financial performance so the investors' confidence is no so high?As far as I know,the UBR is a joint venture between one Chinese state-owned corporation and the US counterprt company.Who's to blame?what's the reason behind?financial?potilical?cultural or ?Official announcement is one thing,implementation and construction is another,but now,I am truely curious about the intanglble huge obstacles of UBR future expansion.

Universal Studios Beijing is gearing up for its 2025 Spring Carnival, scheduled to run from March 21 to June 1. Among the highlights is a new collaboration with Genshin Impact, a popular game developed by miHoYo. This marks the park’s second partnership with a Chinese gaming brand, following its collaboration with Tencent’s Honor of Kings in 2022 and 2023.
However, past collaborations of this nature have not been well-received. The Honor of Kings event, in particular, garnered low ratings and criticism from visitors. Reports indicate that Universal Studios Beijing may have no plans for future partnerships with Tencent Games as a result.
Despite this, the park has decided to collaborate with the controversial Genshin Impact this time. It is expected that this collaboration will once again face significant criticism from visitors.

(The accompanying image features previously circulated recruitment information for Genshin Impact characters. Based on the earlier Honor of Kings collaboration, activities in the park are expected to include character meet-and-greets and float parades inspired by the game.)
