Universal Studios Will Build Their Biggest Theme Park In South Korea

Lately the big news out of Universal Studios has been all Harry Potter all the time, and we couldn’t be more excited. However, officials have been busy thinking about some other theme park opportunities, and they’ve inked a deal to bring the magic of Hollywood to South Korea. Despite some slight delays and a temporary lack of funding, the newest Universal Studios will open when 2014 rolls around in Hwaseong City—not too far outside Seoul.
The cranes and bulldozers are set to start turning up the earth next year. There will be the new park, condos, a golf course, and even a water park. The price tag on this whole project is about $2.67 billion, so we’re kind of expecting only the best of the best. No cutting corners here—maybe Universal saw what Disney’s impressive overseas offerings in Hong Kong were all about.
There haven’t been too many details floating around this early in the game, but this park might be the biggest in the Universal Studios empire when the finishing touches are finally applied later this decade. We’d expect the usual theme park suspects including Spider-Man, Jurassic Park, and maybe, just maybe, Harry Potter will bring his wizarding world to somewhere besides Orlando.
