In addition to the upcoming Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, a brand-new horror experience is launching soon in Las Vegas. And that's not all—a new theme park, possibly featuring a Lord of the Rings area, has been announced just outside London. Can you imagine mingling with hobbits or coming face-to-face with Smaug?

Details about this park are still under wraps, but it's reported that themes like James Bond and Paddington might also make an appearance. There's even buzz about a possible James Bond stunt show!

Expect to see attractions inspired by hit franchises like Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, and Minions. Here's a sneak peek at a potential Jurassic Park zone.

U.K. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy sees this as a chance to showcase "great British creations to the world," making it unique compared to other Universal parks. Notably, the park won’t include a Harry Potter area since those rights belong to Warner Bros in the U.K.

Set to open in 2031, this park has us very excited! What are your thoughts? Would you make the trip to visit a Universal park in the U.K.? Share your opinions in the comments!
