So what we know from Universal Studios Beijing so far is the concept art showing a hotel that would be the main entrance to the park. Attractions that are likely to be featured is Jurassic Park, Transformers, King Kong, the Mummy, Harry Potter, Dr Seuss. It would likely incorporate themed areas from Singapore such as Sci-Fi City, New York, Shrek, Madagascar, Ancient Egypt, and others.
Popular attractions that would not be included are those based on Marvel Comics characters, as Disney officially owns Marvel since 2009 and no Universal theme park has its presence in China unlike Disney parks in HK and Shanghai. Nintendo properties are not likely to be included in Beijing (due to the country's lack of interest in such properties) anytime in the future.

Yes. 2021.
The JW Gyrosphere ride is supposed to be one of the parks MegaE-Tickets.
As far as dates go, the only really important date around there for Beijing generally is the 2022 Winter Olympics in Feb. 2022, so they're probably aiming for sometime around early/mid-2021 to open the park, 2 hotels, and CityWalk.I guess it won't likely to be open until 2021 as far as I know, considering the opening might be delayed due to the amount of work given to this project. Should we expect a Jurassic World-type ride at Universal Studios Beijing? Seeing how badly run Jurassic Park the ride in Hollywood is, I do think Universal Studios should at least base the rides off the Jurassic World movies.
Universal just hired Tom Mehrmann, former CEO of Hong Kong's Ocean Park, as Universal Beijing's GM & President. Notable that Ocean Park consistently beat Disney's Hong Kong park in attendance. Sounds like a great choice.
I don't think USS has very decent attendance either...But Mehrmann has gone up against Disney twice, with his stints at Ocean Park & Knotts, so, in a strange sort of way, he can be Universal's "Disney Swatter".Hong Kong Disneyland wasn't that hard to beat. I think even USS beats Hong Kong Disneyland in attendance. However Universal overseas park presidents are >>>>> than the ones they hire in the US. Glenn Glumpel former president of USJ who is the biggest reason Nintendo is coming and also was part of the Sanrio deal. He was instrumental in coordinating with Japanese partners.
Can we not go from like zero-to-SCREENZZZZ in like two seconds for once?

Given the $ being put into this project (likely upwards to $15bn across the 3 phases planned), I'd be surprised if it doesn't meet all deadlines given all of the political backing it has.
....Hilarious.....but so true.In China, I would think The Secret Life of Pets would work better as a dining establishment...
