Universal Studios Considering Adding Fourth Theme Park

Universal Studios says it is considering a fourth theme park at the company's Orlando resort.

Last month, Universal trademarked the name “Fantastic Worlds” for use in amusement parks.

NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke said during a Thursday morning interview with WKMG that a fourth park is a possibility.

"In terms of as a new gate in Florida, we are looking at it. We filed, basically, a name registration,” Burke said. “We have a lot of great (intellectual property). We love the theme park business, it’s one of our best, most-consistent businesses, and we think we have a very long runway. Another gate in Florida would have the advantage of turning Florida from a two- or three-day destination to potentially a week-long destination. We think that that would be attractive."

A new park would join Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay as part of the popular Universal resort.
