Universal Studios will build its first European theme park in Bedford, UK. The project, set to open in 2031, will create 28,000 jobs. “Bedford will be home to one of the biggest entertainment parks in Europe,” said Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The park will include a theme park, hotel, and shops. Universal expects 8.5 million visitors in its first year. Some locals are excited, while others worry about traffic and infrastructure. Construction starts in 2026. Universal promised to improve roads and rail links. “It will be good for the town and people,” said resident Maria Perez. (PC: Reuters, Getty Images)
