Don’t Fall For Illegal Universal Studios Tickets, New Photos!

As of Aug 21, four people who had attempted to sell black market tickets to Universal Studios Beijing were detained by Tongzhou police. According to local news sources, these tickets had been given to Universal staff and partners to allow their family and friends to visit the highly-anticipated theme park, and not meant for commercial sale. It was reported that some illegal tickets had even been priced at over RMB 4000. Goodness knows what will happen to you if you try to buy these tickets, but we don’t recommend it.

On Friday, Aug 20, Universal Beijing Resort (UBR) opened its doors to special invited guests for what they term “internal pressure testing”, and for the first time since its construction, allowed photos and videos of the theme park’s attractions, rides and facilities to be posted publicly on social media. Prior to this, the park had been very hush-hush about what lay within its hallowed walls. Some Universal staff members had even been fired for violating that policy and posting selfies that showcased the park in one way or another.

But now that you’ll probably be seeing photos of the Transformers, Kung Fu Panda, Minions, and more beloved Universal Studios characters popping up on your friends’ WeChat Moments, we are delighted to be able to share some exciting sneak peek photos with our loyal readers.

#01

Kung Fu Panda’s Land of Awesomeness will definitely be a big hit with panda-lovers, tiger-lovers, snake-lovers… you get the picture. The indoor area features the Carousel of Kung Fu Heroes and Lanterns of Legendary Legends rides, Kung Fu Games, dining areas, not to mention the live interactive motion capture Kung-Fu Panda show. Ska-doosh!

#02

Better catch up on watching the Jurassic films before stepping into Jurassic World to meet some of our favorite extinct predators, like beta raptor Blue at the Raptor Encounter.

#03

Be impressed by the vocal talents resounding in the live performance show SING On Tour based on the 2016 animated hit film “SING”.

#04

Don’t forget to catch the daily parade float that goes through the park at the end of the day, featuring some of your favorite characters like the cast of the “Madagascar” series here.

#05

I’ll bet this is one you’ve never seen, because this Autobot, Windblade, was created especially for Universal Studios Beijing and also happens to be the first female Autobot ever! Go, girl power!

#06

We’ve saved the best for last! Say hello to this state-of-the-art animatronic Bumblebee, star of the Bumblebee Boogie spinner ride, that moves just like the real thing!

#07

Thrill-seekers will definitely want a go on the Decepticoaster at Transformers Metrobase!

These are just a fraction of the 16 rides, 14 shows and 30 odd restaurants that you will find within UBR. Seeing as how the park is allowing guests to post images revealing the long-awaited features of the park now, dare we hope that Universal Studios Beijing will finally be opening its doors to us mere mortals (i.e members of the public) soon? Keep your fingers crossed!
