Universal Studios Beijing Update !



It's been a while since we had a look to Universal Studios Beijing, so here is a new update about it!

The pictures above and below shows a new model for the resort and the concept art below shows the Music Plaza Stage, similar to the one at Universal Studios Florida. This 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.


Let's start by having a look at renderings as there is some new ones since the last D&M article. The first artwork below is supposed to be for the Transformers Base land which according to rumors will have a roller coaster themed to Decepticons, the Transformers: The Ride 3D and another flat ride themed to Bumblebee.


Next renderings shows i think the Minion land buildings and its roller coaster.






Below, two CGI renderings for the same Minion land area than the renderings above.






No new rendering available for the awaited Jurassic World land but this CGI rendering below shows apparently one of the restaurant of the land.




The next picture shows workers holding a rendering with on the bototm right of it what i believe is the Kung Fu Panda area, and right belwo you can see three renderins for this Kung Fu panda land rumored to include a boat ride,  a carousel and a flat ride.


We have a new rendering showing the hotel which will be at park entrance...



...and the next ones below shows the design of the Metro station.




The rendering below shows the surroundings of the Metro station.


...and one more for the road with an artwork showing the elevated pathway from / to the park parking lot.



Let's have a look now at the map of the park showing each land and attractions, definitely click on each of the pics below to see them in big size.


The full Universal Beijing resort as planned once all phases will be built:


And a zoom on the first phase, specifically on the theme park area.


See "where will be what" thanks to these satellite view pictures with indications by Themeparx contributor Michael.




One more satellite view also posted on Themeparx and slightly enhanced, like the ones above  by yours truly.



And what about pictures of the real thing, you ask? Here are some and as you'll see the park will be located near an highway. But no worries, Universal Orlando has the same problem and they know how to do to don't have guests hearing the traffic.



Lot of cranes everywhere!


Most of the park's main steel structure and infrastructure will be completed this year and rides installation will take place in 2020 for an park opening in 2021.

According to Michael from Themeparx, there is also an onsite nursery for vegetation that will eventually be used as the park's landscaping and by May of this year the entire nursery will be operational with more than 2,600 shrubs and trees.


And if you ever wondered how they do to plant trees in the parks when they're already big, here is how.


Again, make sure to have a look at the Themeparx page HERE where is posted regularly new pictures of the resort construction!

Nice update. One thing: that first artwork, called Transformers, is not for Uni-Beijing. I remember seeing it many years ago in connection with that weird Blizzard Entertainment (warcraft/starcraft) park for China.
