The 25-year master plan, unveiled by NBC Universal, envisions an 80,000-square-foot expansion of the theme park, new high-tech soundstages and a residential development called "Universal Village."
The plot expanded over the decades to include the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park and a shopping and retail area called CityWalk.
The new plan calls for selling off 124 acres of mostly undeveloped land to a builder for a new residential community. Some movie sets and soundstages would be moved while new state-of-the art facilities would be built.
The theme park particularly has suffered from being unable to add rides and attractions to compete with nearby Disneyland and Six Flags Magic Mountain. Under current regulations, old rides have to be scrapped to make way for new ones.
Estractos de una noticia aparecida en abc7.com sobre el masterplan de Universal Studios Hollywood, donde se nos dice que las atracciones antiguas del parque, serán eliminadas para poner de nuevas (vease en Universal Studios Orlando que quitaron King Kong y ahora Regreso al Futuro para poner The Mummy y ¿?). A parte, tambien se ha adquirido nuevo terreno para el parque, asi como el traslado de diferentes estudios de producción, a otros lugares para poder ampliar.Any construction is at least two to three years away as the company secures the permits and approvals needed for the entire project.
Otra parte a destacar... es la creación de UNIVERSAL VILLAGE! Un centro de residencias con casas, chalets!
