Universal Destinations and Experiences, the division that runs Universal’s theme parks, has always played second fiddle to Disney in both size and popularity. Universal has half as many theme park locations around the world and a fraction of the presence in the U.S., but in just the last couple of years, it has become clear the company is making a massive investment in growth. There are three different new themed entertainment locations currently in development that have been officially announced, and the evidence is growing that a Universal park is now coming to one place the company currently has no presence: Europe.
