  • A major milestone reached for Universal Studios UK 🎬🏗️

    December 16, 2025|Milestone|

    Today marks a genuinely exciting moment, as the UK Government has officially approved the SDO application for the development of Universal Studios UK. This approval represents a huge step forward for the project and provides much-needed clarity after a long period of preparatory works and planning. The SDO approval formally comes into effect from 12th January 2026. While there are still some elements to be worked through during the statutory

Welcome back to Project Universal! In today’s video, we head back to the Universal Studios UK construction site for a fresh January 2026 update — filmed on Sunday, January 11th, just one day before the SDO order officially comes into effect on Monday, January 12th, 2026. While the site is largely quiet ahead of the SDO activation, we did spot some familiar action returning. The Wazinator 1000 is back on site, crushing concrete alongside the Collis boys and turning it into high-quality sub-base material for future use. It’s great to see Universal prioritising on-site recycling, reusing existing materials before bringing new ones in later down the line. Elsewhere across the site: • The Core Zone remains quiet • The Transport Hub is inactive, with only a security presence • The Lake Zone (concrete slab) also has a security guard on duty Bonus moment: a security guard receiving what looks suspiciously like McDonald’s Uber Eats — luckily it’s just around the corner! 🍔 With the SDO order going live tomorrow, things are set to change quickly, and the rest of January should be very interesting indeed. 👉 Stay tuned for more updates 👍 Like the video if you enjoyed it 📌 Subscribe so you don’t miss future construction updates You can also find me on Facebook here: 🔗 https://facebook.com/ProjectUniversalUK Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next update! ★ Want more Project Universal?

Universal Studios UK Construction Update | SDO Goes Live Tomorrow! (January 2026)
★ Want more Project Universal? See all our links at https://ProjectUniversal.uk ★ I headed down to the Universal Studios UK construction site today (Monday, 29th December) just to see if anything had moved today. As expected… not much happening! It looks like activity on-site has paused for the holidays, and I’m guessing we won’t see any movement until Monday 5th January with a build up to the 12th January 2026. Because on January 12th, the SDO (Special Development Order) becomes officially active — meaning construction can finally kick off on a world-class Universal Studios theme park right here near Bedford in the United Kingdom! 🙌🔥 This is going to be huge. This is going to be history. And I’ll be here documenting the whole journey.

The Ground Is Moving 👀 New Construction Digging at Universal Studios UK (Dec 2025)
A foggy visit to the Universal Studios UK construction site today for our weekly catchup on whats happening on site. Npte, the traffic lights spotted in the video are UK power networks. I had a look at what they were doing but it's not possible to tell if it was linked to Universal or just some standard works taking place. ★ Want more Project Universal?

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS UK - December 2025 update
★ Want more Project Universal? Visit our website - https://ProjectUniversal.uk ★ We’re back on site at Universal Studios UK for another end-of-November look — and things have been busy despite the cold and muddy conditions! Over on the concrete slab, the pace hasn't slowed down at all. Much of the concrete has been dug up to create a complex sub-base for the brand-new road system. This new roadway appears to be part of the work needed to access and stabilise the landslide area across the Lake Zone, and it’s clear there’s been a huge push here in the past few weeks. Meanwhile, in the Core Zone, crews have been hard at work cutting back thick vegetation and generally tidying the entire area. Rumour has it they may have discovered some sort of lizard or wildlife living there — no idea if that’s true or connected, but either way, a ton of overgrowth has now been cleared, giving us a much better look at what’s to come. Over at the Transport Hub, things are unusually quiet today. No vehicles on site, likely because the whole area is far too muddy for machinery to operate safely. Also interesting — the recent roadworks used for borehole testing between the old A421 and the new A421 bypass seem to have vanished. These tests were presumably linked to the future overpass that will bring visitors straight off the A421 and directly into the park. There’s still a long way to go, but every week we’re seeing more signs of progress.
