Thomas LaDukeGUEST
Uh, they're very, there's a rivalry, but it's a professional rivalry between the two groups.
Thomas LaDukeGUEST
There's a lot of Imagineers that work at Universal Creative.
Thomas LaDukeGUEST
There's some that work at WDI.
Thomas LaDukeGUEST
Um, so that was a good experience.
Bob RogersGUEST
There's nothing wrong with plain entertainment.
Bob RogersGUEST
But I see too many students who are zeroed in on their spending four years in college and maybe a few years in postgraduate, zeroed in on two employers, Walt Disney Imagineering and Universal Creative.
Bob RogersGUEST
Those are wonderful places to work.
Bob RogersGUEST
And I don't have the correct numbers, but I'm guessing that probably Walt Disney Imagineering has somewhere around 2,000, 2,500 employees worldwide.
Bob RogersGUEST
I'm guessing that Universal Creative, I don't know the numbers, but I'm guessing maybe 1,000, 1,200, 1,400 employees worldwide.
Bob RogersGUEST
That's less than 4,000 jobs worldwide.
Bob RogersGUEST
If you add up all of the jobs creating exhibits for museums and visitor centers and brand homes and industrial tours and back of theater tours, et cetera, et cetera, you're talking hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Jim HillHOST
Well, that's where it started.
Jim HillHOST
That's where Universal Creative began using other people's IP and then began bringing that stuff into the parks.
Jim HillHOST
So that's how we got Super Nintendo World.
Jim HillHOST
But Eric, this isn't the case.
Jim HillHOST
Okay, well, anyway, this is a Universal podcast, so I wanted to discuss Universal and Star Trek because, well, think about it, you know, as far back as May of 2007, which was when Universal Parks and Resorts announced they had cut a deal with J.K. Rowling and Warner Brothers Studio to acquire the theme park rights to the Harry Potter films, people have assumed that Well, that's where it started.
Jim HillHOST
That's where Universal Creative began using other people's IP and then began bringing that stuff into the parks.
Jim HillHOST
So that's how we got Super Nintendo World.
Jim HillHOST
But Eric, this isn't the case.
Jared LeeHOST
Uh, so we will go through what haunted houses are.
Jared LeeHOST
So we have, the way they do this, there's 10 haunted houses, five original houses, which are just concepts that Universal Creative comes up with themselves.
Jared LeeHOST
Uh, sometimes they have recurring ones from different characters they've created, and sometimes it's brand new.
Jared LeeHOST
And then they have five IP houses that are typically over, you know, off of, uh, very popular IPs.
SeanHOST
Dinosaurs are in.
SeanHOST
I'm sure it's no secret to Universal Creative that, like, one of the singular most attended theme parks in Asia right now, in the top five if I'm not mistaken, is a dinosaur-themed-
AlexHOST
Yeah
SeanHOST
... kids theme park from Fantawild, Dinosaur Kingdom.
Jim HillHOST
You know, we wanna do this scene from the show, or we wanna do this s- scene from, you know, season two.
Jim HillHOST

Jim HillHOST
Go ahead.
Jim HillHOST
Build that."
SeanHOST
Like you said, love for the game.
SeanHOST
Like, the people behind these fans about dark rides are like people at Efteling, Universal Creative, Disney, maybe even Europa-Park, where like they love this.
SeanHOST
Like, it's art.
SeanHOST
They are really putting in-
Jim HillHOST
We wanted this scene from season one.
Jim HillHOST
And the Duffers literally, a 100-page treatment, you know, told Universal Creative, no notes, go ahead, build that.
Jim HillHOST
You know, just we're thrilled.
Jim HillHOST
You know, and so, you know, it was kind of the dream collaboration between Universal and Netflix.
