Hello, one and all! Welcome to Beechwood Studios. A studio park just off the M4 near Reading, UK.

Beechwood Studios has produced universally loved television and film over the last 4 decades. The studio park is well established and has constantly added to it's offering over the last 20 years of operation.

It's newest thrill ride, Launch Control has just started offering expeditions to the stars. Based off the popular, long running TV show of the same name.

Yes, another park from me... as you can see, this one has a bit more detail to it! I am sticking with this one....

Very impressive so far. One thing that I appreciated is the size of the guest services. Most people who put this facility in their parks, usually plop down one or two service windows in a tiny little building, and call it a day. In my latest visits to theme parks, I've made it a point to take note of what these, and other similar services, look like. And guest services is usually quite extensive, featuring many service windows, and even queues for the guests. (Like you've done.) Knott's sometimes has a huge line out the door, a block long. And Legoland had no less than 12 service windows. So kudos to you for your attention to detail. (Yes, I'm quite a theme park nerd, to focus on your guest services. The coaster and other stuff looks good, too. 😋)

Thank you shyguy. Where else will people chose to spend half their day queueing if not Guest Services!?

Let me take you on a tour of the park;

Just as you enter through the Studio Gates, you will find Kidz Zone. Not a large area but some kid friendly rides.

The 'Main Street' is not your average theme park entrance. It's full of greenery and two classic attractions. A Carousel and a Helter Skelter. We really tried to tie those into one of the franchises... but couldn't!

20250611084732_1.jpg

You will also find the first 'Big Coaster' of the park. The Silver Scream. This B&M will take you around and through Studio 2's lot. It's the oldest roller coaster in the park.

Moving down through the park towards the show lake, you'll find Storm Chaser. An indoor SFX flat ride.

20250611085015_1.jpg

Launch Control you are familiar with so we'll blast past that for now.

The back of the lake is currently all F&B locations and access to the Sky Ride.

20250611085120_1.jpg

Taking a left will take you to our loudest land. It currently houses Heavy Metal -a B&M launched sitdown and Rave Records - dual spinning rides themed to DJ Decks. This area is the newest land and is annoyingly still unnamed by the park. It's currently just a collection of music themed rides. We're going to resolve that this season...

20250611085240_1.jpg

To the right side of the lake, we have Studio 6 which is currently host to the Saguaro Guitaro Show. Twice a day come and see that Cactus play it's little guitar.

20250611085430_1.jpg

There is plenty of gift shops, food and beverage outlets across the entire park. We even have our own Hard Rock Cafe.

Join us throughout the season for more updates!

This looks like the kind of post I would typically make... 😋

Unsure if that's a compliment or not!

Beechwood Studios are pleased to announce that it's first water ride is coming to the park next season!

Here's the external blueprints to wet whet your appetite for that's to come!

ThemedWaterCoaster.pngGround works have already begun on our biggest indoor attraction yet. We cannot wait to welcome you to the new land next season.

More to come soon...

#Social Influence

It appears that there are a few photos being shared across the interwebs showing further development of the new area at Beechwood Studios. They were taken from the lift catwalks of two of our talletst coasters by a member of engineering staff.

Rather than you see them via those accounts we thought we'd take the same images and share them with you officially.

There was one post though by a local influencer that though we'd share too...

20250623163827_1.jpg

Our new land will be announced, formally, very very soon....

You just can't trust your own staff to keep quiet before official announcements are made!

That member of staff has been disciplined in line with the Ts and Cs of their contract.

MYTHICA

The brand new themed land will be opening at the start of next season. Currently consisting of an immersive Water Coaster, street food and guest facilities. This land has room for much more development over the coming years.

Welcome to Mythica

Our brand new land opens today and as you can see from the Entrance Plaza, we're expecting to be very busy.

You'll see lots of street food offerings across the park.

We plan on introducing a permanent offering in the coming years as we expand in this area.

POV coming soon....

Hello everyone,

Beechwood Studios is proud to release the official POV for Journey to Atlantis

On a personal note, I’ll be taking a step back for a short while as my partner and I have just welcomed our child into the world.

Lots of updates ready to come though from Beechwood.

Really nice ride! (But I got all wet...classic_angry). Usually, with flume rides, you go down the 'big drop' and that's it; back to the station. But here... THERE'S MORE! Pleasantly surprised! All the best to you and your (new) family.

That ride was a lot bigger than I thought from the screenshots. Great job.

Very nice, I love it!

Congratulations on the new born! I suspect you'll not only be stepping back from the game, but things like sleep for a while as well!

Thank you all for the lovely comments. We've sneezed and our child is now 10 days old...

Business as Usual

Since the opening of Mythica the park has seen an increase of guests, which is exactly why we invest in the experiences we provide.

It's a hot summer day here at Beechwood Studios and the crowds are out to enjoy fun in the sun.

20250708093708_1.jpg

The Silver Scream continues to thrill guests around Studio 2.

20250708093802_1.jpgAll F&B outlets are providing free iced drinking water and discounted soft drinks throughout the heatwave.

20250708093933_1.jpgThe back of the lake is yet to house any world class attractions but the Surf Shack is a world class fast seafood dining outlet. It's safe to say that management will be surveying this area for future expansion.

20250708093939_1.jpgLastly, I don't want to say that the Mythica theme was in plain site all along but this Mythological set piece was right under your noses.

I wonder what other hot sets around the park will provide clues to protentional themed lands...

20250708094309_1.jpg20250708094348_1.jpg20250708094355_1.jpgAs the sun sets on another hectic day at the park, we want to thank everyone for their continued support and patience in this heatwave.

I honestly thought some of these screenshots were real-life pictures! This looks very clean and really like the water. Nice work! Can't wait to check out more!
