Universal has suggested that a proposed UK theme park and resort will generate close to $53B (£50B) in economic benefits to the host country. NBCUniversal, announced last December that it had acquired a 476-acre site for a proposed new UK location outside the town of Bedford, some 60 miles northwest of London. It is currently carrying out feasibility and due diligence studies and is set to make a final decision on the project by the end of this year.
