What are the attractions at Universal Studios Beijing - where to stay - how to play

Although Universal Studios Beijing has not officially opened yet, it has always affected everyone's hearts. Although the amusement park is not open, it does not prevent everyone from making travel strategies in advance so that they can be able to play when they go there. Better experience. Regarding the opening date and ticket price

It is said that there was a plan to match the ticket price in the United States, and I called back. The ticket price is expected to be controlled within 500 yuan on weekdays, and it will not be too expensive on holidays. Please refer to Disney.

But tickets are just the beginning. If you want to avoid queuing or reduce queuing, please refer to American Universal, which also offers VIP and particularly powerful VIP fares. The staff at the door casually said:

As for annual passes, they are definitely not available this year, and it is estimated that they will not be available until next year.

As I said at the beginning, as the annual ticket delayer, Beijing Universal Park has been delayed again and again. The previous statement on the Internet was July 10. At the scene, the staff did not recognize this Time, but no one knows the specific time:

There are rumors that it is a finishing project that has not yet been completed. I prefer the end of July at the earliest, August under normal circumstances, and October at the latest. . After all, a theme park needs a lot of approvals for its opening design, such as:

According to the current news, Universal Beijing Resort will advance the preparatory work before opening in three stages: < /p>

In the first phase, internal employees of Universal Beijing Resort are invited to participate in internal stress testing, and the operation process is continuously improved through multi-scenario testing to enhance visitor experience;

In the second phase, trial operation is launched. Directly invite partners and invited guests to participate in the operation test;

The third phase will usher in the grand opening.

I would like to emphasize that in all press releases, Universal Beijing Resort must achieve a "high-level opening."

The first phase is not over yet. When getting off work on Friday, the staff said goodbye to each other on Monday, waiting for the Citywalk to be let in, and when to wait for the park to open. What to do at Universal Studios

Although all information about Universal Studios in Beijing is currently confidential, we can use the information that has been published online and combine it with the corresponding parks of existing Universal Studios overseas. Pixel-level spoilers are out for Universal Studios Beijing.

First of all, after entering the resort from the subway station/parking lot, you will encounter a long and narrow overpass, where the staff will conduct security checks, clap with you, and celebrate your arrival in this joyful place. Park, through here you reach City Avenue.

How to define CityWalk? Just think of it as the Universal version of Disney Town. There are a series of places to eat, drink, play and shop here. I saw Adidas at a glance (oh why didn’t I take a picture? ).

In addition to the Beijing-style Quanjude, the American-style Forrest Gump Shrimp and Singapore’s Jumbo Seafood Restaurant have also opened branches here. Having a meal here after all the fun is a great memory.

After passing through the big water balloon and gate of Universal Studios, you have officially entered the theme park. Unlike several other Universal Studios around the world, which are named directly by style or project, Universal Studios Beijing this time divides the areas directly by the names of the movies.

This not only enhances recognition, but also makes a deeper impression on tourists. According to the previous official introduction, Universal Studios Beijing is divided into the following seven areas. After careful comparison, I think Universal Studios in Los Angeles is very similar:

Transformers Base (refer to Orlando/Los Angeles/Osaka/Singapore )

The virtual roller coaster "War for Fire" and the park's largest roller coaster "Decepticon Coaster" are both here. Compared with Universal Studios in other four cities around the world, this Decepticon has more large-scale amusement equipment. Tiger roller coaster.

The Decepticon roller coaster is designed based on the Hulk roller coaster at Universal Studios in Orlando. The feeling of weightlessness is lower than that of the Hulk roller coaster, but it is also the most exciting ride at Universal Beijing.

Of course, taking photos with the Transformers is also a must.

Minion Park (refer to Orlando/Los Angeles/Osaka/Singapore)

Minion Park is a place that many female tourists like very much. The many cute minions are not only You can take photos and buy a series of peripheral products.

There are two large-scale equipment here, namely the indoor virtual roller coaster "Despicable Me and Minion Warp" and the outdoor "Cute Roller Coaster". The former is shown in the picture above. Universal Studios in various places also have model, the latter is shown in the picture below.

Of course, it can be seen from the positioning of this park that this should not be exciting at all.

Jurassic World Isla Nublar (it is a world, not a park, so it is brand new)

Although there are Jurassic Park parks elsewhere in Universal Studios, this time The definition is Jurassic World, which is a newly launched IP in recent years. There is no introduction on the official website.

In this theme park, there is a large-scale project "Flying Over the Jurassic". The introduction on the official website is:

Climb on the self-propelled glider of "Flying Over the Jurassic" , flying in the sky of Isla Nublar in Jurassic World, overlooking the unparalleled scenery of the entire earth from the perspective of a pterosaur, and experiencing a novel and unforgettable adventure.

Judging from the current photos, this should not be the flying pterosaur in Osaka. The overall slope is relatively gentle.

In addition, you can see a "photo studio" and entrance from a distance. This should be the Jurassic World Adventure project, and it is also a brand new project. It is said to be very worthy of a queue.

Considering that Beijing’s winter temperatures are at or below freezing for a long time, it is unlikely that the rapid development project will be launched in the second phase. After all, Los Angeles has just been updated.

Future Water World: (refer to Los Angeles/Singapore/Osaka)

"Future Water World" is a science fiction movie that I watched when I was a child. Although the investment was high, the box office was poor. But this park does appear in many Universal Studios around the world.

Future Water World is an unexciting project. The main thing is actually a live performance adapted from a movie, which is very adult-oriented.

The first time I watched it was more than ten years ago. When the plane crashed into the scene and exploded (simulated), the flames were ignited. When the heat wave blew into my face, I felt like "This can still be done." "Play" feeling.

This one in Beijing is said to be more technologically advanced, so the reset time for each show is only about 30 minutes. During peak season, many shows can be staged in one day. This may be the only major event in the world where you don’t have to wait in long lines.

Harry Potter Castle (refer to Orlando/Los Angeles/Osaka)

The large-scale attractions are Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Flight of the Hippogriff, which is a small roller coaster. , the stimulation level is very low.

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is a virtual roller coaster. It is the same model that can be found in many Universal Studios around the world. Some friends may feel sick after a ride.

Sorry, neither of the above are available.

Although this Universal Studios has a regret that it does not have Diagon Alley and "Escape from Gringotts" projects, you can still buy butterbeer in the snowy Hogsmeade village. Have a meal and instantly get the same movie. Hollywood (available everywhere)

The official introduction in this park is as follows:

Walking on the star-studded streets among the shining lights, you will start an exciting journey of Hollywood. Come travel! Stroll among the tall palm trees and wander among the classic Hollywood scenes. Here you will be able to feel the infinite charm of the glitzy city! Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to jump out of your ordinary daily life and step out into the world. Into the light and shadow of the screen, it is so "star addicted"!

Do you think you haven't watched it since you watched it? It doesn't matter, the important thing is that you remember that this is a It’s just a large photo-taking place, very similar to the “New York” park in Singapore.

Unfortunately, although it is called Hollywood, it does not have the "Studio Tour", the flagship project of Universal Studios in Los Angeles (after all, people really shoot movies there), nor does it have Osaka's Hollywood & Reverse Hollywood. The two roller coasters are different.

However, in addition to concave modeling, there is also a large-scale behind-the-scenes reveal called "Lighting, Camera, Start Shooting!" so that you can personally experience how real special effects are done in blockbusters. I think it may be the same as The one in Singapore is more similar.

In addition, there is a Global Brilliance Theater at the entrance, which plays a play with the theme of How to Train Your Dragon. I have never seen this. The blind test is similar to Shrek 4D.

Kung Fu Panda (partial reference to Los Angeles)

The Kung Fu Panda Park of Beijing Universal is the only Kung Fu Panda theme park in the world. It can be understood as a park based on the cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" an ancient Chinese town.

Although Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles has opened "Kung Fu Panda: Emperor's Quest", it is actually the same type as the previous Shrek 4D, and it is completely different from Beijing's "Dragon Warriors". different.

This project in Beijing is an indoor boat trip, somewhat similar to Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean. It is a low-end version and is an entertainment project suitable for all ages.

But from a positioning point of view, this park is only suitable for parent-child travel?

As can be seen from the above seven projects, Beijing Universal basically combines the most popular tourist attractions from around the world. All popular items were brought.

As for why there is no dark indoor roller coaster, The Mummy Returns, on the one hand, this IP is too old, and the last one was a dud at the box office. On the other hand, maybe "it is not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China"?

Although Beijing has cold winters and hot summers, and any Olympic Games can be held, Universal has introduced a large number of indoor events and not many outdoor events, so you don’t have to worry too much if you come in winter. The official statement is that 65% of the entertainment facilities at Universal Studios Beijing are "covered" to protect tourists from the harsh winter and heat.

Since the park is on the landing route of Capital Airport, although there is a fireworks show at Universal Studios Beijing, it is not particularly big. I saw it once in Orlando and it was pretty good.

There are still light shows and night cruises. You can refer to Osaka for this, so don’t miss it.

Because it is a park opened in China, all the voice signs inside are in Chinese. On Friday, I could hear the music in Hogwarts Castle outside and also listened to a segment of the Sorting Hat. College narration.

In terms of domestic prices, Beijing is a first-tier city with relatively low prices, so the food/souvenirs at Universal Studios may be lower than those at Shanghai Disney. How to get to Universal Beijing Resort

Next let’s talk about transportation. After the park opens, how to get to Universal Studios?

First let’s talk about the geographical location. Universal Beijing Resort is located in Tongzhou, Beijing. District, near the intersection of East Sixth Ring Road and Beijing-Harbin Expressway.

Although it is far from the tourist attractions in the city center, if you are a Tongzhou resident, Universal Studios can really be said to be your own back garden. Take the subway from Tongzhou Wanda Plaza to Universal Studios Subway Station , only 7 stops on the subway.

Taking a taxi is obviously the most convenient and fastest way. If you are a tourist, starting from a hotel near the East Second Ring Road, the fare can be effectively controlled within 120 yuan (online taxi-hailing), which averages out based on the number of people. The price is still acceptable.

If you drive there, you can go directly to the Universal Resort by taking the Sixth Ring Road. There is a huge parking building on the Universal side, and the parking fees are expected to be on par with those in the United States.

Currently, the Universal Resort subway station is connected to the dual-line subway lines of Line 1 (Batong Line) and Line 7. The starting point of Line 7 is Beijing West Railway Station. Foreign tourists come to the one-stop Universal Studios The city is more convenient. It should take 50 minutes to get to Universal Studios from Shuangjing Station (East Third Ring Road) of Metro Line 7.

Because Line 1 is about to be connected with Batong Line, if you are traveling, if you live near Wangfujing-Guomao on Line 1, you can go to the Wangfujing front gate of the Forbidden City and National Expo and take the subway the next day. A round trip around the world is also a good choice.

I actually measured it. From Jianguomen Station, which is located at the intersection of East Second Ring Road and Chang'an Street, it takes less than an hour to transfer from Metro Line 1 to Batong Line to reach Universal Studios (Universal Studios The station was not open yet, so I transferred to Line 7 and took one stop back. It was estimated that it would take about 55 minutes after it opened). Accommodation Guide

As for the issue of accommodation, it is actually a very frugal matter. Although many times hotels have become an important part of our travels.

But when your destination is a theme park, do you want to spend more time in the park and the hotel is just a place to stay overnight, or do you want to ensure the quality of sleep in just a few hours? The answers are often very different.

Here, I will recommend it to you in three parts:

If you want the ultimate experience, then there are two hotels in Beijing Universal Resort: NUO and Universal Big hotels are the only option.

The former is 5 stars and the latter is 4 stars. These two hotels are also within walking distance from the gate of Universal Studios. Whether you take the shuttle bus or walk there, they are not too far.

In nature, it can be compared to the Disney Hotel and Toy Story Hotel in Shanghai Disney Resort.

If you want the ultimate price-performance ratio, you have two options:

B&Bs near Universal Studios are mainly located in communities near Gaoloujin Subway Station. How close is this community to Universal Studios? On the side of the park where the Harry Potter Castle was filmed, can you directly see the background? Friends in Shanghai said this is not feasible because the high-rise buildings behind it will appear in action every minute.

If you want to stay in a regular chain hotel, then remember one place: the express hotel next to the Batong Line subway in Tongzhou District.

For example, there are Super 8 and 7 Days Inn near Jiu Shushu Station on the subway. The price is more than 100 yuan, and you can get to the Universal Resort in 4 subway stops. If you are just staying for one night, it is certainly a good choice.

Finally, if you want quality but don’t want to go too far, and consider Universal Studios as an important part of Beijing tourism rather than the only one, I can only recommend Wangfujing-Guomao Line to you There are a group of star-rated hotels (I don’t even want to mention the hotels west of the Forbidden City).

Beijing is a tourist city with extremely high reception capacity, and it is also an affordable place among first-tier cities. The prices of these hotels are relatively low. From Wangfujing to Guomao, take the subway or online car-hailing to go on a global vacation. The area is only about an hour away, and it’s very convenient to get to the front gate of the Forbidden City and the National Museum.

So I will list the following hotels for you in order from the Forbidden City to the China World Trade Center. You can’t go wrong choosing them with your eyes closed:

MUJIHOTEL Qianmen: Located in Beijing Fang, Qianmen area, subway Near Qianmen Station of Line 2, it is a short walk to Tiananmen Square. It is convenient to go to the Forbidden City to watch the flag raising, and the price is about 600 yuan;

Beijing Hotel Nuojin/Beijing Hotel: Because the VIP building of Beijing Hotel is under renovation, this hotel The two are the five-star hotels closest to Tiananmen Square. They are in the core location of Beijing tourism. They are near the Red Wall and Wangfujing Station of Metro Line 1 for evening walks. The price is 700-900 yuan;

Grand Hyatt Oriental : Wangfujing Station of Metro Line 1, in the commercial complex of Wangfujing Oriental New World, an established five-star hotel, Wangfujing Station of Metro Line 1, price is about 1,500 yuan;

Jinlong Hot Spring/Changfu Palace/Sophie Special/St. Regis: Putting these four together, they are all near the Jianguomen Station of the subway. In terms of quality, you can tell from the brand. The first two are better in terms of cost performance, and the latter two are top-notch hotels from AccorHotels and Marriott. brand.

The locations are similar. They are both at the intersection of East Second Ring Road/Chang'an Street (Jianwai Street). The prices are getting more and more expensive from left to right. A good choice between 500-1500. Fengjian By people.

Fairmont: Although Fairmont Reignwood has been open for many years, it is now also a top brand under Accor, and its quality is still excellent. It is located near Yong'anli Station of the subway, between Guomao Station and Jianguomen. The price is about 1,000 yuan;

Park Hyatt: Everyone knows the brand Park Hyatt, and it is also the top brand of the Hyatt Group. The location of Beijing Park Hyatt is above the Yintai Center, where you can see the beautiful Chang'an Street. Night view, near the Guomao Metro Station, the price is about 1,500 yuan;

China World Hotel/Guomao Hotel/New Guomao Hotel/Kerry Hotel: these four are also put together, not only are they located Near the subway Guomao Station, it is still managed by Shangri-La Group, with prices ranging from 900-2,000 yuan.

In addition to the above, there are also some domestically-funded hotels such as the Beijing International Hotel along Chang'an Avenue to choose from (the prices are not high). There are also Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Renaissance, Jinmao, etc. in the north of Wangfujing. Hotels such as the Waldorf Astoria and Regent, which are highly regarded by frequent travelers, and the R&F Renaissance in Shuangjing (just on Line 7) are also good.
