Скачать или смотреть The Weather Report: High Pressure in Bedford, Low Temps in Orlando - 19/12/2025

The government has officially signed off on Universal Great Britain—so what happens now?

On this week’s Weather Report, James heads up to the radio tower to scan the horizon for the biggest storms brewing in the theme park industry. It’s a week of extreme climates: from the "high pressure" corporate moves in Bedfordshire to the literal freezing temperatures shutting down Disney’s water parks in Florida.

In this episode:

Universal UK Confirmed: The Special Development Order is granted. We break down the massive scale of the project (700 acres!) and what this means for Alton Towers and Thorpe Park.

Epic Universe Holidays: The first reviews of the "festive accumulation" in Celestial Park are in—is the vibe enough to save a half-finished food menu?

Bluey Mania: Vertical track is spotted at Alton Towers. Why the Heeler family is about to become the biggest queue in the UK.

The Deep Dive: Can you really build an outdoor park in rainy Bedfordshire? We debate the "Indoor vs. Outdoor" philosophy and ask: Should Universal build a roof, or just sell ponchos?

Join the debate: If you were designing a UK park, would you make it indoor-only? Let us know on Instagram @DesertIslandParks.
