Universal considering UK theme park in Bedford

[Geeky Pastimes]

Yeah I wouldn't trust a word of that Mirror article, since it's all things we pretty much know already along with a guess as to how long it will take to build. If they had some inside source I'd expect some kind of new information.

The whole 'given the go ahead' but with 'financial arrangements still to be agreed with the Treasury' is exactly where we thought it was before isn't it? Both sides haven't said no, but they are in negotiations so it's still a bit up in the air.

Whilst I wouldn't trust a newspaper, this does have the ring of truth to it. For one thing, it's just too... modest to be a lie. 500-room hotel? If I was making it up, I'd have said 1000! Four themed zones? I'd have said five. It all sounds exactly like what we'd get in Britain - a slightly lesser version than it might be!

Four themed zones sounds very much like:

• Harry Potter
• Jurassic Park
• Nintendo
• Dreamworks

It also happens to be the details from Epic Universe. The Helios hotel in the park is 500 rooms and there's 4 themed areas (plus the middle hub area).

I really think they just made it up.

They didn't make up those details, they've been around for a while....
