That was the first time anyone from the company acknowledged their efforts to add a new park to Orlando publicly. It says “ This brand new theme park, titled Universal’s Fantastic Worlds, will turn the Universal Orlando Resort from a two, or three day travel destination to a week-long vacation destination.” This quote is nearly identical to the words spoken by NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke on a Comcast earnings call back in July of last year. The document then goes on to introduce the Orlando resort’s newest theme park in development, Universal’s Fantastic Worlds. This paragraph echoes a lot that was first reported by Robert Niles in Theme Park Insider last month. It says Comcast needs to increase spending in the theme park segment over the next five years, spending more over that time period than it did to obtain NBCUniversal in the first place. The next paragraph talks about how their major competition (presumably Disney,) had gotten a “ free ride” due to a lack of aggressive competition. It talks a little about revenue, and the success of the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Hollywood, Minions Park in Japan, and Volcano Bay in Orlando. The introductory paragraphs speak broadly about the company’s parks segment around the world. The original photos as they were sent to me can be found below as well. I have stitched together 6 different photographs to re-create the page in full as best I can, but some text is missing and a couple paragraphs are blurry. The heading reads: “ Universal Orlando Resort – The Next Step” just like the slide from the meeting shown above. This new document, which I spoke about briefly on the previous episode of the Park Stop Podcast, appears to be one of the last pages of a handout given during the town hall meeting.
