I think I'm going to have to ask ... has this park opened?
RCDB lists an opening date of July 5, which was yesterday. Or May 7, if it follows the stupid date format. But I can't find any mentions of an opening event, or opening hours, or any sort of announcement. News of a soft opening in late May has also been floating around, but we're past that and social media isn't exactly going bananas. There's a Twitter hashtag for
#universalstudiosbeijing, which is only filled by construction updates from various theme park blogs. It hasn't seen activity in two weeks.
Meanwhile,
this extremely picture-heavy Themeparx thread seems to picture somebody visiting the resort. It's not very crowded, though, which you'd expect from a full opening.
So, uh, what's going on? They seem to be really close to opening without having made any sort of fuss about it. Or is opening still months away?
