Volcano Bay: General Discussion

[Parkscope Joe]

iThemePark does great general overview videos and has released one for VB. My vote for "best look" at the park experience so far.

Um, did they not allow themselves enough room to plant out along Turkey Lake?

That is excellent! The beginning made me nostalgic as I always arrived on eastbound I-4. Too, this is the first time that I have seen a comprehensive look at the water feature around the main restaurant. Fun!

Is this a first look at one of the upcoming slide structures? :shades:

Kinda hope not. I'm all for more slides being added, but I'm expecting something big like everyone else. Maybe they add something like this along with the mega slide that has been talked about on here?

Isn't that just Taniwha Tubes but with a different color scheme?

I was thinking the same thing.

However, the Taniwha Tubes are already shown here:

Oddly, the Punga Racers aren't shown here. They seem to be the forgotten step-child of Volcano Bay as there's no promotional images or videos of it at all. Poor Punga Racers.

I think i'd file it under creative license. The artwork looked empty there, so they added a non assuming slide tower. Considering Maku Puihi makes 2 appearances, I think it's pretty likely.

Taniwha Tubes has been shown on the left-side of the volcano since the very first early concept art. It's just to make the scene look more filled out I'm sure.

Can we all agree that the concept art for Volcano Bay is the biggest lyingest liar that ever lied?

I'm sure there's worse out there but nothing springs to mind.

One of the complaints I'm seeing constantly on Facebook is that the new carpets on the bridges are smelling terrible.

Disney Springs was full of lies too. Those two come to mind as the most egregious in recent history.

I think we got lulled into believing everything we saw after some of the other art that came out. It turned out to be amazingly accurate

Yeah it was bad, but Ariel says "hi"...

 

[Dan B]

Lights are looking more complete to last time I see a video of them. Looking better in my opinion, still not keen on Blue but better than none, orange/red lava effect looks great.

that's not exactly fair considering they decided to nix the pixie hollow and add the snow white mountain.

and we thank for them for that...

Although nixing BatB ride sucks...

Anywho - again, the art of VB really wasn't that off from what we got/are getting so....
