Universal UK Resort Archaeology, Site Works & Disney D23

Universal UK Resort construction has uncovered a potentially major archaeological surprise: two remarkably preserved stone wells, one of which appears absent from official records and may be far older than its assumed Victorian date. The Bricking It hosts examine the latest Universal Studios UK site activity, including the Manor Road closure, earth-moving preparations, cone penetration testing, archaeology delays and plans for the future transport hub. They also discuss whether a direct international train could eventually connect Universal UK with Disneyland Paris. Beyond Bedford, the episode covers Hollywood Drift noise complaints, the closure of Fast & Furious: Supercharged, replacement rumors involving Twisters and Back to the Future, and Disney’s latest D23 announcements. The hosts debate Disneyland Paris investment, Disney Adventure World, Space Mountain’s Jules Verne restoration and whether Disney is reacting too slowly to Epic Universe. Finally, recurring visitor John Bunyan returns to explain who he is, why he opposes the wrong kind of progress and how Bedford’s Panacea Society came to believe the town was the original Garden of Eden. Expect archaeological discoveries, theme park analysis, rail speculation and several spectacular conversational detours.
