Strong indications suggest a new Universal theme park might be coming to Europe.

[{"selector":"#anim-62edcfa6-da2e-40bc-bd94-186f05aa51e0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-610cc6ca-d7ad-4b70-8321-9de7eb78f31e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.51593%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c398fc62-bfdb-49b5-8261-17a82cee9ea1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-13.072826798302565%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Evidence includes domain registrations and Comcast's acquisition of land in Bedford, England.

[{"selector":"#anim-952d62b1-45f5-45df-b3a1-2a542693c3c0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40b99af6-2bf3-46c7-9896-ddbea5383a97","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.51593%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54529316-a609-40ce-b37c-b08e9e162309 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.859348717085054%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Universal is already expanding with Epic Universe in Orlando and smaller parks in Texas and Las Vegas.

[{"selector":"#anim-8a5e08c0-9a61-4b2f-be73-3f5d3fd65ee5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-709a3f7e-113a-4340-ae29-55499fae2528","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(113.19019%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f7672aa1-793c-408b-976d-065b339003c1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-15.178571494165768%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The potential park in Great Britain aligns with Universal's global growth strategy.

[{"selector":"#anim-efef20c9-38f0-4a3f-98c5-96e82adc816e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0526a6b0-17e0-4b16-97b0-041588a29c81","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.67399%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0ebfc93d-0d45-4888-9103-f56725614a81 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.499999772451451%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Universal aims to establish a European presence, competing with Disneyland Paris and local parks.

[{"selector":"#anim-4fb5225e-d38f-40fa-8377-dfa9e53b552f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-310a805f-b08a-4c9d-ba36-6616a68fad23","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.67399%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eea437ff-b169-4ea4-aa8d-19106b83e2be [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Previous ties with Spain's PortAventura aren't affecting plans for this potential European park.

[{"selector":"#anim-9f1c7e54-109e-46a1-b382-6da954428b2d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d12bb824-b8c1-42c0-8fe8-94c303dae590","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.04703%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64baf6a1-e4ed-4fd9-84c1-85a3b5ae7785 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.229154972258222%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The London Resort project in the same area has faced continual delays, potentially opening an opportunity for Universal.

[{"selector":"#anim-17bd646f-fc3e-4d98-a262-924a126ea940","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e3a8996-aef7-497b-8415-530e534a614a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(108.54702%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60eab5ea-b8dd-4c2b-aabf-ebc0e40f4521 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.852793440527452%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Official confirmation from Universal isn't expected soon due to their tendency to keep quiet about rumors.

[{"selector":"#anim-14ad3fa6-9799-4ee3-bf91-fd81daea4699","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-590bf3bc-416a-431d-b31b-7f2fb9655d38","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(108.54702%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7dd0b4df-29aa-4218-b387-dc35775a8723 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.499999772451451%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Despite no official word, ongoing developments suggest Universal's interest in a European park is substantial.
