background.
KennyHOST
Prop one this week, okay? And going back to what Jay said about Paddington, we're giving Universal UK some ideas here.
KennyHOST
Put a Build-A-Bear inside the park, okay?
JayHOST
There you go.
LawrenceGUEST
But the small room that I'm in just so happens to be a couple of miles up the road from...
LawrenceGUEST
the new Universal UK Resort site.
LawrenceGUEST
So, very, very exciting stuff.
LawrenceGUEST
I get to drive past the construction site practically every day, which, you know, it's still a pinch me moment, if I'm being honest.
6 MINS LATER
LawrenceGUEST
Amazing.
LawrenceGUEST
Yeah.
LawrenceGUEST
So the reality is that 99% of the people that are going to enjoy Universal UK are going to be not part of our little sub-community.
LawrenceGUEST
They're going to be very... ordinary people with other interests, other things that they are passionate about, but they will go to this because it's a nice day out.
RyanHOST
Right, okay.
RyanHOST
So, I wanted to talk through the current rumours for the Universal United Kingdom Resort.
RyanHOST
Okay? We're getting back into the swing of it.
RyanHOST
We've been away for a few weeks.
13 MINS LATER
RyanHOST
People are looking at... any kind of patents that are being filed any official documentation that you can you know a lot of the planning permissions filed online
DonnaHOST
people just wait and see
RyanHOST
any like anyone anything anyone anyone can get they're getting harry potter seems like the most with with with the most evidence at the minute but nothing is officially confirmed by universal yet um i'm sure when it is we will be there to witness the announcement universal if you're listening thanks for the invite and okay so that's you that's a universal united kingdom resort it's not a great name isn't it it's a bit of a mouthful isn't it
DonnaHOST
you're just gonna call it universal like you do every other resort
BexHOST
A- a- if anyone doesn't know, by the way, uh, there is a, th- I mean, it's hard to believe, but there is another theme park podcast.
BexHOST
Uh, but it's, uh, th- it's very specifically Universal UK, uh, based, and it's with Marcus and, uh, Digital Dan, and they do The Field, uh, where you literally go and do the podcast from what is currently a field and will soon hopefully be Universal United Kingdom Resort.
Marcus DeloGUEST
Yeah.
BexHOST
Um, so I mean, yeah, that makes perfect sense that you'd wanna work with them.
MarqHOST
Because the government subsidy for the park exceeds £25 million, they had to publish a full competitive review.
MarqHOST
And right there in black and white, the report identifies Disneyland Paris as Universal UK's closest international competitor.
MarqHOST
It explicitly states that the resort is expected to attract some visitors who would otherwise have visited competing attractions overseas, particularly other European theme parks, including Disneyland Paris.
BethHOST
Yeah, that does make total sense when you consider that outside of France itself, the UK sends more visitors to Disneyland Paris than any other country.
