The movies group Universal has said a Hollywood theme park it plans to build in Bedfordshire, England, will be open 365 days a year and will boost the UK economy by nearly £50bn. Universal Destinations & Experiences, which is owned by the US telecoms group Comcast, the parent company of Sky, plans to build on a 192-hectare site (476 acres) in Kempston Hardwick near Bedford. The park’s experiences would include rides, shows and areas “based upon the most popular films and video games of the last few decades”, such as Harry Potter, Shrek and Mario Kart.
