Universal considering UK theme park in Bedford

[Flash Shift]

The possibilities for this park seem endless, but I'd imagine they'll mostly stick to the same popular IPs as at other parks. Also, the cynic in me says they'll mostly go for themed experiences and not have many extreme coasters, but I really want to be proven wrong. Merlin need competition so badly and the UK needs that park that competes with the rest of Europe. Needs a park where things stay open consistently

Definitely. One extreme coaster per park, in my opinion. Probably something a bit like Velocicoaster in the main park, as well as the equivalent of Hagrid's. Then hopefully a Park 2 with a B&M hyper.

Another thing worth keeping an eye on is Wixams Station (which is to the east of the plot). The 2-platform version has been planned for years, but the plan was adjusted for 4 platforms if Universal goes ahead. Construction has started, which may be a clue that a decision has been made about the theme park. If it turns out they are building the 4-platform version (as discussed about 3 minutes into this video), we can take that as a good sign:

They are building for two with provision for four.
