    Things are really starting to feel real at the Universal Studios UK site, and the latest photographs coming in from the core zone show exactly why this stage is so important. Right now, teams are carefully scraping back the topsoil to allow archaeologists to step in and do what they do best. This phase gives them the chance to examine what lies beneath, properly record any finds, and gather valuable

In today’s midweek episode, we take another look at the CORE zone at Universal Studios UK to see what kind of jobs are being set out for this week. There’s plenty happening on site right now. Fencing has started to go up, mobile porta-loos are on the move, and we’re seeing a huge sprinkling of orange jackets working their archaeological magic around the flumper trucks and Diggertron 330.

Something BIG is starting in the Core Zone… | Universal Studios UK Midweek Update
February 1st, 2026 marks a fascinating moment on site at Universal Studios UK, and in today’s video I take the drone up for a full aerial look at how construction is shaping up across the resort. The Concrete Slab, also known as the Lake Zone, is relatively quiet this paste week, with no visible movement around the landslip area. That said, there’s a big visual change at the wildlife side of the lake, where a significant number of new trees have now been planted, giving us a clearer idea of how landscaping is beginning to take shape. At the West Gateway zone, teams are actively carrying out borehole testing, a key step in preparing foundations for major structures. Across the Core Zone we can also see extensive new fencing going up in very specific patterns, likely marking out future work zones and construction phases. Heavy machinery is hard at work too, with the Diggertron 330 busily scraping away topsoil while the flumpers (flock of dumpers) continue removing material from across the site. Overall, it’s a very active and promising start to February 2026, with clear signs that momentum is building at Universal Studios UK.

Universal Studios UK Construction Update | Busy Start to February 2026 🚧🛠️
It looks like part of the site may be getting marked out or separated in some way, suggesting we could be moving into a new phase of construction.

Things Are Moving Fast Above on the Core Zone at Universal Studios UK | First MIDWEEK update!
Big changes are happening at the Universal Studios UK construction site in Kempston Hardwick, Bedfordshire, and in this video I take the drone up for a full aerial look at the latest activity on site. There’s been a noticeable shift since the last update — the Wazinator 1000 (concrete crusher) has now disappeared, along with one of the 20-ton diggers. But in their place, we’ve spotted a new 30-ton digger and a dumper truck, hinting that the project may be entering a new phase. We can also see topsoil being scraped away, although it’s not yet clear whether this is for investigation works or the early stages of stripping and stockpiling ahead of major construction. Either way, it’s a very promising sign. The core zone is buzzing with activity, and the temporary haul road is really starting to take shape, suggesting that enabling works are progressing well and momentum is building for the construction of Universal Studios UK in Bedford. If you’re following the progress of this huge development, or you’re curious to see how things are evolving on the ground, this update is definitely worth a watch. 👉 Subscribe for regular drone updates 👍 Like the video if you enjoy these site overviews 💬 Comment below — what do you think they’re preparing for next? ★ Want more Project Universal?

Universal Studios UK Construction Update, January 2026 🚧 | Busy at the Bedford Site
Welcome to the latest on-site construction update from Universal Studios, where progress is finally becoming clear across multiple zones. In this video, I take a detailed look at what’s currently happening in the West Gateway zone, where activity remains limited but notable changes are still taking place. A permanent security guard is now stationed at the gate, marking a new phase of site control and access. Nearby, the Wazinator 1000 concrete crusher continues working on the concrete slab, crushing and recycling material to create a new haul road as part of the site’s infrastructure. The most dramatic developments are unfolding in the Core Zone. New platform or temporary road panels have been installed, and a large brand-new compound is now being formed at the highest point of the zone. These changes represent a significant shift in construction momentum and strongly suggest that full-scale building work is now underway. If you’re following the development of Universal Studios, theme park construction, or large-scale infrastructure projects, this update offers a clear look at where things currently stand and what’s changing on the ground.

HUGE Changes at Universal Studios UK as Construction Activity Ramps Up | January 2026
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.
