While Disney’s .4 billion in 188bet login revenue in fiscal 2017 dwarfed Universal Studios’ .4 billion in revenue，But Universal Studios can still pose a great threat to Disney with its parent company Comcast’s strong film, television and IP resources。Disney has Star Wars、IPs such as Avatar and Toy Story，And Universal Studios has The Simpsons、Harry Potter, Paradise and other film and television IPs，The showdown between the two 188bet login giants will become more intense in the future。

Universal Orlando Resort has been undergoing 188bet login expansion over the years，The only entertainment giant that can compete with Disney in the United States and even the world has recently made new expansion moves。

As reported by the Orlando Sentinel，The site acquired by this operator is adjacent to the existing 188bet login，And has been solved in 2016 1.Legal issues arising from the purchase of another piece of land for US0 million。

The area of ​​the latest purchased plot、Price and end use currently unknown。But Orlando Business Journal reports，New land could be 'nearly twice the size' of 188bet login' existing 500 acres。

Conquest’s Universal Studios 188bet login parks and resorts subsidiary did not disclose further information on this matter。

2016，Universal Studios announces plans in Japan、Hollywood and Orlando introduce Nintendo game characters as themes、With large scale、A paradise characterized by immersion and interactivity。After Conquest acquired DreamWorks Animation Studio in 2016, it can introduce more movie characters into the 188bet login。

Currently，Universal Orlando Complex by Universal Studios Florida、MapleStory 188bet login、Volcano Bay Water Park、Shopping and dining area and several hotels，Industry observers would definitely like to see Universal Studios expand and build more parks。

“Universal Studios has had a small land bank for years，Through the efforts of the past few years，They have purchased a total of 570 acres (230 hectares) of land，Universal Studios can use these lands to build at least one more large 188bet login，Including construction of supporting hotels and retail stores。” said Dennis Speigel, president of Cincinnati-based consulting firm International 188bet login Services。

The 188bet login business has always been an important profit point for Conquest，Revenue last year was US.4 billion，10% year-on-year increase，The business’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased nearly 9% year-on-year to US.4 billion。

What’s different from Disney，Universal Studios 188bet login attendance in Florida increased last year，Mainly due to the opening of Harry Potter 188bet login。2016，Universal Studios attendance increased by 4.3% to nearly 10 million visitors，The number of visitors to MapleStory increased by 6.5% to 9.3 million people。The 2016 Global Theme Parks and Museums Report jointly released by TEA and AECOM shows，The number of visitors to Disney’s six theme parks in Florida has dropped compared with last year，For example, the year-on-year decrease in attendance at the four theme parks in the Walt Disney Resort was 0 respectively.5%、0.7%、0.7% and 0.5%。

“The number of visitors to Universal Studios has been increasing year by year since 2010， Their 188bet login attendance continues to increase。” Speigel said。

Robert Niles, founder and editor-in-chief of 188bet login Insider, a 188bet login industry news website, recently wrote in an article，(After buying the land) Universal Studios has one less obstacle to becoming a larger 188bet login operator in Orlando。

“Fans definitely want to see more and better attractions，" Niles wrote in an email，“Nintendo may be the largest entertainment licensed IP in the 188bet login industry。Allowing tourists to experience Mario Kart in a real-life setting may have the same huge impact in the market as Harry Potter。

However, Niles said,The biggest problem facing Universal Studios in the future is，How to allocate character IPs to different 188bet login parks，How to attract tourists to three separate sites including a large future hotel complex and the latest properties。

“Even those three parcels are about the same distance from each other as the several theme parks at Disney World Resort，But the problem is that Universal Studios has not purchased the land between the three parcels (at least not yet)。”he said，“This requires Universal Studios to cooperate with the local government to solve logistics and transportation problems。This is difficult to do，But if Universal Studios can introduce fans to their favorite characters in the 188bet login，Then the future benefits will definitely be considerable。”

If Universal Studios ends up building three or more 188bet login parks，Add another water park，Then it will bring a greater threat to Walt Disney，Disney had been banking on land for a long time before this、Has a great advantage in the number of 188bet login parks and hotels。

Walt Disney World Resort includes 4 theme parks、2 water parks、A shopping and dining area and more than 20 hotels。In fact，Disney has also been undergoing large-scale expansion and building new theme parks in Florida，For example, Toy Story Land will be completed and open to welcome guests in June this year，The Star Wars 188bet login under construction will be completed in 2019, etc.。

“The more paradises you build，The longer visitors stay in the 188bet login。 Of course，Their consumption in the 188bet login will be higher。” Speigel said。
