New Water Park coming to Universal Orlando?

[Quint]

Y'all are talking about the administration building, right?

Negative. Office complex south of admin building on Turkey Lake.

You're going too far down the "story" rabbit hole.

All you got to do is watch a 15-30 min video at check in that explains the whole back story :rofl:

Thanks, I got mixed up with the name looking at different maps :bonk:

This is it, right? Now is this leased space?

 

[DufflesMcGee]

I want to see the model :,(

 

[Quint]

Affirmative

I really wish I could say more but I won't because it wouldn't be cool of me to do so at this time. They ain't shrinking from anything Disney has done!

that's good to hear, hopefully my theory is somewhat right and i'm not torturing you with false information

 

[DufflesMcGee]

Yes, as I understand it.

Everyone, Volcano Bay is not expected to be the name of the water park. It will just be an area within WonderSea. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression earlier. Keep an eye out for other trademarks soon!

Are you serious? so a 200 ft volcano will not be the centerpiece, instead just one land? or are we seeing it as the centerpeice and a land, with other lands behind it?

 

[Cole]

I doubt it. Cabana is supposed to be a 50s/60s roadside beach motel, not on a remote tropical location

hmm that sucks, it's just kinda weird having 2 tropical themed things so close to each other without them tying together

 

[DufflesMcGee]

So, if Volcano Bay is a land, I'm willing to bet Minion Beach will be another land. Something Minion related in the water park was hinted by Hatetofly a while back. That could be a cool kid area.

Minions? and water? hmmmm, I know I have seen that before

The Volcano will be the main feature of the park. And I think you're thinking of "land" in a theme park setting rather than a water park one. If I had to figure, Volcano Bay would be the wave pool, and the slides around the area would be part of the Volcano Bay area.

hmm that sucks, it's just kinda weird having 2 tropical themed things so close to each other without them tying together

There's no reason for an ultra indepth story like that. Plus Cabana Bay is supposed to be fake/kitschy tropical, not a real tropical paradise.

Minions? and water? hmmmm, I know I have seen that before

Something like that. But with beach themes not Super Silly Funland themes.

I didn't say anything of the sort. The name is Volcano BAY, referring to the body of water at its base, an area and not really a "land".

I dont know whether you are hinting towards something or trying to be serious now.... :blank:

Exactly. "Area" would be a better word than "land"

 

[DufflesMcGee]

thank you for clearing that up

Just pure speculation/fanboy wishes here

1. Volcano Bay
2. Lost Continent or something similar (if they decide to get rid of LC at IOA, putting a dark ride/water slide hybrid like Schlitterbahn has done could easily be themed to Poseidon - maybe a flat as the "dry" element that's been rumored?)
3. Minion Beach - a given, pretty easy to predict
4. Amity - wouldn't be hard to add (similar theming to Paradise Pier at DCA except more of the seaside vibe) and JAWS gets resurrected

Definitely excited to see the 200 ft volcano... could this open summer 2016 somehow? if they're getting trademarks/permits already for the names... they can't be that far off from getting the land ready if the remaining space they own is slated for Wondersea.

Summer 2016 with a KidZone revamp, JP expansion/revamp, and Wondersea Island would be near perfect... but 2017 seems more likely for the water park

Does anyone know what date yet? I wouldn't think a waterpark would take as long to plan/build as a full-fledged theme park.

 

[darkridelover]

To bring JAWs back would be amazing!

 

[natespf]

Gosh this thing is sounding neat. Thanks for all the info folks! But now I want to know more... more... more... op:

The model sounds like it is amazing, and I am a fan of models. I hope we get to see lots of pictures of it eventually ray:

 

[Clive]

I'm going to go on record predicting Volcano Bay is some sort of wave pool/large body of water that isn't necessarily a slide depository.

 

[Cole]

I predict the volcano will erupt many times a day. How cool would it be if everytime the volcano erupts a wave pool in front of it reacts with a tidal wave?

cool? or dangerous? lol

Typhoon lagoon does it and so far nobody has died
