    The extended metro line that CarlySX previously mentioned is on track (pun intended) for completion sometime between Septemebr 2019 and the end of 2019.

    Regarding the Universal Studios theme park itself, groundwork at the site is still ongoing and will continue through November 2017 while completion of the park as a whole has been pushed back to 2021.

    The metro line is being extended out to the park and should open 2019



    According to previously public information, the Metro Batong line will be a station south to the Universal Theme Park Station, and here and 7 line east extension transfer. Today, we learned that the latest news is that the eight-line extension of the South and Line 7 East Extension will be in the Tongzhou Wen area and then set up a station - Park Station, the specific location in the Universal Studios theme park east, West of the East Sixth Ring Road.
    These green covers can be seen on the maps and cover the park area and the utilities work which has started for pipelines, transportation etc.

    Looks like the concept artists for the metro line didn't have any constraints by his/her Mainland Chinese employer on what elements to use for the background.

    Shanghai Daily also reporting construction has begun and has a great statistic...

    China is promoting consumer-driven growth, and theme parks are being built in the country faster than anywhere else in the world, with more than 300 projects reported to have been funded in recent years.

    The first Disneyland on the Chinese mainland opened last June in Shanghai at a cost of US$5.5 billion. Last year 21 theme parks opened, according to Chinese media, and the “National Business Daily” newspaper said a further 20 were under construction.

  10. Good news. Construction officially started in Universal Beijing.

    BEIJING: Construction has begun on a US$7 billion Universal Studios theme park in Beijing, state media said on Monday (Oct 31), as the studio looks to challenge Disney in China's booming leisure market.

    The complex is due to open in 2020 and has secured investment of 50 billion yuan (US$7.4 billion), the official Xinhua news agency said.
