However, Universal Destinations and Experiences has said that its 'exploring' the idea of building a park and resort on a former brickworks site in Bedfordshire.

The company said they had purchased 480 acres of land at Stewartby as it was 'always looking at new locations around the world'.

A spokeswoman for the company behind Universal Studios said last month, per the BBC: "We recently acquired land in Bedford and are at the early stages of exploring its feasibility for a potential park and resort at this site.

"It will be many months before we are ready to make a decision to proceed and we look forward to engaging with all relevant stakeholders and the local community."

In a further statement, the company also said: "We are always looking at new locations around the world, including in Europe, and the UK is an attractive place for a potential project.

Meanwhile, Tom Wootton, the elected mayor of Bedford Borough Council, explained: "The suggestion of a major business investment is of course positive, nevertheless these are early days and much detailed work is required before any decisions are made.

"We very much welcome and are excited by the interest from Universal and the immense potential for it to be transformative for the borough.

"We're committed to ensure that any plans align with the best interests of our residents."

And now, YouTube channel Theme Park Worldwide has shared a video of the 'future location' of the theme park. Have a look at the supposed area below:
