No Universal Studios Theme Park in China


Richard Verrier
Universal Studios has pulled the plug on a proposed theme park in China and laid off 30 employees who had been working on the project, a company spokesman said.

The fate of the theme park had been in doubt for months. Universal had plans to build a $1-billion theme park in Shanghai, but the venture, set to open in 2006, was never given approvals by the central government in China.

It also faced skepticism from Universal's new cost-conscious corporate parent, General Electric Co.

The layoffs leave Universal's theme park design group in Orlando, Fla., and Los Angeles with about 45 employees, down from more than 100 a year ago.
