As the first Universal Studios theme park to open in Asia, Universal Studios Japan got off to a roaring start with tourists flocking in from other Asian countries. Visitors to the Osaka park reached 11 million in 2011, its launch year, becoming the world’s fastest growing amusement park at the time. Following Osaka and Singapore, Beijing will be the third destinations in Asia to host a Universal Studios park in 2019, according to a recent report.
