This article leaves a lot to be desired. I am extremely curious why it took 20 years to finally open this park. While I am obviously no expert when it comes to theme parks. It is a little strange to me that it would take a company that already operates multiple theme parks around the world, 20 years to execute a new one. While it would only explain the last year or so, I am partially wondering if COVID-19 had a hand in the delay. For all I know, that's just how long the initial phase of development and construction. One thing I love about Universal is that it adapts there parks to the area they are in. As the article states, "Universal brands fused with Chinese culture." Featuring Universal’s first Kung Fu Panda land, the world’s largest Minion Land, the world’s first Transformers-themed land, and Universal’s first WaterWorld land, this seems like a crazy big park.
