They should name the new school Dr. Phillips.

Something I've been thinking about for this is park. Do you think they will call it Universal Studios Great Britain?

Or is the Universal Studios, movie theme park idea a bit played out at this point? It's never going to be a studios park theme with how they've recently been implementing their IPs into the parks.

You have Universal Kids Resort in Texas, Universal Horror Unleashed in Vegas, all avoiding the studios part.

They could go down an original route park theme like IOA or Epic is doing but having the Universal title in there.

Personally, I’m expecting a hybrid between a studio park and something like Epic Universe.

I imagine they will keep the name 'Universal Studios' no matter what the park ends up shaping up like. It's pretty much the brand identity for non-theme park enthusiasts. I even see Orlando vloggers refering to UOR as 'Studios' even now.

My guess is that the studios element will be Main Street with fully themed lands branching off it, pretty much like what Beijing is.

Beijing still being called Universal Studios makes me think they think it’s a requirement for each resort’s first park.

Kids doesn’t count cause it’s not a full scale park so needed separate branding.

Completely agree the “fake movie studios” theme is tired and limiting, so I’m hoping that Universal Creative live up to their name in the best ways possible. However, the main brand identity is “Universal Studios”, known equally by theme park fans and families who might not have ever have visited a theme park. So it’s difficult to imagine Universal Studios won’t feature in the name. I just hope they don’t call it Universal Studios United Kingdom, as the acronym U SUK is a bit unfortunate.

Exactly. And outside of waterworld, there is zero “studio” element to it.

It will be a “Universal Studios” moniker but not reminiscent of a “studios” park.

Look at Beijing and you’ll get your answer on thematic elements, layout and naming.
