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.

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.
