Morning might be a little cool but a couple of hikes up the mountain should warm you up. Afternoon will be toasty. Great weather for a park.I'm finally going next week either Sat or Sun and I'm really excited!
How has the weather been like lately? The forecast says around 84 those days. That should be hot enough with the humidity right?
I've scoured a few pages of this thread for some recent pictures or news of progress of landscaping, final touches, etc...
Are the original food items back on the menu? Are TapuTapu issues fixed? How's landscaping look? What about the slow river cave? I'm so disappointed that this isn't what we thought, but I wonder if some things have been fixed.
Both Voyage to the Center of the Earth and Lost River of the Pharoahs are awesome attractions...exactly the kind of water rides I expect from Universal and Disney...yet neither one has ever come close to building slides like those.
The size of the park, the variety of attractions, and those two rides probably make Water World Colorado my number one waterpark.

Is this a recent thing? When I was there the other week the expansion plot was flat as a pancake and looked ready for construction.Anyone been able to get a picture of the supposed earth moving going on at the expansion plot?

Before I forget, at VB now, just did Kala & Nui... there was clear earth moving going on in the expansion plot from the stairs. Could mean nothing, but it could be the beginning of something too....
I know this is a big reason why it isn't done anywhere else...but Disney has plenty of room to work with, and in the case of Volcano Bay, these slides are lower to the ground and more terrain-following. They could build slide complexes around it and on top of it in some cases....The reason you don't see these rides in Orlando is one big reason: Size. That one ride would take up the entirety of the VB expansion plot, where they probably want to add at least 2-3 more slides.

my vote for part of the expansion, takes up little space so they could add even more slides.
I looked into it....the capacity for it sucks...only 720 ppl per hour as it can only hold 3 tubes at a time and it lasts around 3 minutes per ride.
Yeah for a water park attraction it's perfectly fine.720 an hour is fine. Waterparks cap at around 5k guests a day.

More so thinking about its use with Tapu Tapu...it seems like it would create the issues Universal was trying to not recreate
You mean like a "Water Theme Park"?I know this is a big reason why it isn't done anywhere else...but Disney has plenty of room to work with, and in the case of Volcano Bay, these slides are lower to the ground and more terrain-following. They could build slide complexes around it and on top of it in some cases....
That being said, I'd much rather see stuff like this show up in a whole new waterpark on the south universal property...take the waterpark in an entirely different direction from VB.
