This week on Bricking It! – The Universal United Kingdom Resort Podcast, the team reunites to compare notes from opposite sides of the globe.

Mike shares highlights from his recent trip to Japan, including his experiences visiting some of the world's most impressive theme parks, while Lawrence reports back from Orlando with plenty of stories, observations, and theme park adventures from the entertainment capital of the world.

As for Andy? Well... he went to work. Somebody had to keep an eye on Bedford.

Expect the usual mix of theme park chat, Universal UK discussion, friendly banter, questionable opinions, and the occasional beverage-fuelled tangent.

Whether you're following the progress of Universal UK, planning your own theme park adventure, or just fancy spending an hour with three enthusiasts talking all things parks, we've got you covered.

Season 2 is finally here, and after what feels like a trip through time, the Bricking It crew is back behind the microphones!

In this first episode of the new season, Andy from Project Universal joins Lawrence and Mike to catch up on everything that's happened while we've been away. With Universal officially revealing the name Universal United Kingdom Resort, there's plenty to talk about as the project continues to gather momentum.

We dive into the latest announcements, discuss what the new branding could mean for the future of the resort, and take a look at what's been happening on site around Bedford. From construction progress and infrastructure works to rumours, speculation, and community reactions, nothing is off the table.

As always, this isn't a formal news bulletin. Think of it more as pulling up a chair in the pub, grabbing a pint, and chatting all things Universal with friends who are just as obsessed with the project as you are.

So whether you've been following since the earliest Project Nectarine rumours or you've only recently discovered the UK's biggest theme park development, pull up a seat and join us for the start of another season.

In this episode, in no particular order:
• Our return after the break• Universal United Kingdom Resort – the new official name• Latest construction and site updates• Infrastructure, roads and transport developments• Community reactions and discussions• Rumours, speculation and what we're watching next• Plenty of laughs, tangents and the usual pub-style chat

Grab a drink, get comfortable, and welcome back to Bricking It.

Welcome back to Bricking It: The Universal Studios UK Podcast!

In this, the finale of our first season, we cover off the latest news from the site - and what we can expect over the next few weeks before construction hits another gear in June 2026!

After that, we cover off Mike's upcoming trip to Universal Studios Japan (and other Japanese parks), as well as Lawrence's trip to Orlando - and Epic Universe.

We'll be taking a month's break through May 2026, but will be returning, with a full contingent, from June - when the site updates will be coming thick and fast!

Take care of yourselves until then!
