Universal theme parks division gets new name in rebranding

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The theme park parent company of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is getting a new name. Officials at Universal Parks & Resorts says the division of Comcast NBCUniversal is changing its name to Universal Destinations & Experiences. The company says the decision better reflects the breadth of its offerings in Orlando, Florida, Southern California, Japan, China and other locations. The company recently announced it was building a new park geared toward young children in Frisco, Texas, and a Las Vegas-based immersive horror entertainment experience based on Universal’s classic horror films.
