Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

I love a nice lazy river...so am looking toward to that, but I'm very curious and excited about the TeAwa fearless river ....churning rapids,choppy waves etc. Could anyone who has been on something similar to this share their experience - I'd love to hear more.
Thanks in antici......pation.

The bare slides don't bother me so much but I don't like the colours they've gone with...they've probably tried to avoid more pastel types to avoid Aquatica comparisons....them black, yellow and red slides (I know what they're meant to symbolise) look a lil ugly.

Ok so green, blue, yellow, red, black are off the board... what color would you have gone with?

The Water Park associated with BGW had a rapids type lazy river in addition to their slow lazy river. I don't know if that is as rapid or as advanced as the one for VB, but it was a lot of fun, more fun than the slower lazy river there.....edit; they supplied floats if you wanted them.

I would of used those colors - but as you know not all blues and greens are created equal. Probably something more muted with a lot of earth tones to really blend it into the environment. Especially in and around the volcano.

It's more the shades than the actual colours. Maybe they've gone bold because they'll fade in the sun?

I LOVE Atlantis. I never cared for the beaches at the resort, I only ever went on the "lazy" river. It had waves, lift hills, and choppy dips.

This is without question what I'm most looking forward too. I know it's not the same but I love the fast river at Aquatica

Me too... but they don't allow floats/rafts on theirs. I wonder if we'll be able to have rafts in the Fearless River.

Edit: Actually, we probably will have to use a raft:

Race along a roaring, watery stream of churning rapids and choppy waves while hanging tight to your inner tube on this thrilling whitewater ride.​

Me too. That, and the water coaster.....and the beached boat bars. :thumbsup:

Yes you will be given a raft when you enter the fearless river.

The best thing is you don't have to get out...I just hope different things happen along the course...at Aquatica I love the little sections where you can take the inside lane and zoom round the corners...or try to get the advantage over your mates by going down 'the fast side' when it splits.

If we're on rafts I'd hope there's rapid sections, slower sections...I'd like a drop but the pics suggest a flat course?

I'd imagine it'll be flat, but they do say it's thrilling and will have choppy waves and churning rapids, so you never know.

That's awesome! I love lazy rivers and we get 2 different ones at this park! I'm super excited!!

 

[Scott W.]

I'm guessing we should be expecting something very similar at VB? Especially the wave at 20secs.

There is a square building just off the lazy river if you look to the bottom left hand corner.

My dad almost died at the "crazy river" at Atlantis (Okay not died but really hurt). The waves are HUGE last time I remember and they get bigger as they move down the river. He scraped his knee and hit his head along the wall. It's actually a lot of fun but I see people getting hurt. #braveryisuniversal

That's exactly what will produce the waves!

 

[Miketheboss]

That's what I think that little building with the opening is going to be. I've ridden those waves and let me tell you, it's a ton of fun but kinda dangerous if you arnt expecting a wave.

Don't mean to be cocky but I said this a year ago, April 25th 2016 to be exact. Let me shine in the limelight. Lmao

I'll say, I was wrong for thinkng they wouldn't have enough attractions to start in the amount of space they were working with. I'm very intrigued by the number of slides and attractions, not to forget the food options as well.

Truly amazing to see being constructed. When it is all done, I believe I will have a new found love for Universal.
