Universal Studios Great Britain

The British are probably the biggest theme park fans in Europe. It's in our history from the Victorian seaside parks of yesteryear. Or to put it another way, I was at Alton towers on a cold windy summers day and the queue for the River Rapids ride was 2 hrs long. When I was in Spain we went to Terra Mitca on a nice warm summers day and it was a 10 minute queue for their Rapids ride which is just as good as the Alton Towers version. So the weather does not really come into it as far as the British are concerned.

If it was made to the same quality and themes as Universal Studios Florida it would be packed out no problem and that would just be with the British fans.

They can do what they did with Japan and have a lot indoors. UK does see a fair portion of sunshine.

Disneyland Paris, the closest thing to a Universal Studios London-type of park, has 20% of its visitors coming from the UK. There is definitely a large demand coming from there, if they're able to attract a decent portion of the UK market plus some tourists and the parkfans to their location, it's not impossible for them to succeed.

If we're talking strictly about weather, sunny UAE is struggling at the moment with its theme parks. Location is key

Source please

+1 on this request. Please name the source as London Resort Company Holdings are being very adamant in their public statements that they are going ahead with a resort and park design that uses multiple stakeholder IP rather than working with a single IP stakeholder.

Are there any sources to prove that there are negotiations ongoing with NBC universal?

If it's on themeparX I assume there are ongoing negotiations...

Where is the source of that?

London Resort Company Holdings, the former Paramount London licensees, are indeed in talks with NBC Universal about bringing a Universal Studios theme park to Kent in lieu of the cancelled Paramount project.
