If they're comparing it to Disney they're gonna fall short anyway. Universal parks aside, nothing compares in terms of a 'theme' park.

"Where should we go next summer kids? Disneyland?"

"Noooo, dad. I want to go to the Paramount London Entertainment Resort."

This.
The location itself adds to the whole thing.

Can't see many foreigners thinking of rainy Blighty in the same frame of mind as somewhere like Florida or Paris.

I'd actually be worried by 2021 Doctor Who will have lost a bit of it's relevance, they seem to have issue with the fact outside of DW and Wallace & Gromit perhaps, none of the IPs they'd be working with are timeless enough to sustain a theme park.
I'm very surprised Harry Potter hasn't been mentioned.

Still huge and popular globally and they have nothing in the series' home country to compare with the Wizarding World thing they've built in America.

Universal hold the rights to Harry Potter in terms of theme parks.

Doubt WB would go for it to be honest.

Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't done anything in the UK.

They have a resort/theme park that's part of Universal in Spain I believe. It's doubtful universal would build so close to that. That's why Disney would never build here. Plus why build a Disney park in a country where millions of people will travel 4000 miles without hesitation to visit a Disney park.
