Universal Studios Beijing or Universal Beijing Resort is the upcoming Universal overseas amusement park that will open around 2020. It will feature rides and attractions themed primarily to Universal-owned movies, TV shows, animation, and music, and as well as licensed properties from other companies (e.g. Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, Dr. Seuss, Paramount Pictures, etc.)
Development
The project was announced on October 13, 2014. The overall investment in the Universal Beijing theme park will be more than 20 billion RMB. It will be jointly owned by Beijing Shouhuan Cultural Tourism Investment Co., Ltd. (BSH Investment), a consortium of four state-owned companies, and Universal Parks & Resorts, a business unit of Comcast NBCUniversal.[2]
On October 31, 2016, the park broke ground, while also announcing that the opening had been delayed from 2019 until 2020.[3][4]
