A YouTuber has claimed to have found the exact spot where UK Universal Studios is set to be built.

We are on track to have access to a brand new attraction in the UK as rollercoaster fans have been teased with the exciting new plans.

Currently, the Hollywood studio has parks in the US, China, Singapore and Japan.

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.

"The UK has a large population, creative industries, strong tourism, and transportation infrastructure with close proximity to other parts of Europe."

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:

"This is the future location of Universal Studios Great Britain! In December 2023 Universal Destinations & Experiences confirmed that they had purchased 480 acres of land in Bedford, United Kingdom for a potential theme park and resort," the channel claims.

"In this video we take a close look at the site from on the ground and also from the air.

"We talk about the benefits of building a large resort on this site including existing infrastructure, public transport connections and much more!"
