Universal Studios plans to build a theme park in the UK that could feature some of Europe's tallest rides, with a proposed height of up to 377ft. The company aims to secure planning permission through a government-approved special development order instead of local council approval. The proposed height is to ensure competitiveness with other European attractions, as larger rides are common in Europe where space is limited. Rides based on iconic franchises such as Minions, Jaws, and Jurassic Park are likely to be included in the park.
The American film production and distribution company has sought planning permission through a special development order, which would allow the government to approve the plans rather than through the local council.
Universal Studios said it could build structures in the theme park reaching up to 377ft (115m), including rides, the new planning documents show.
The reason for proposing structures up to this maximum height is to allow the proposed theme park to compete with other attractions in Europe.
Taller attractions are more common in Europe, where rides need to be taller to create the experience, as space is more constrained.
