Unless they come out with one day tickets and AP pricing I think Universal is expecting a full park each day

I have a feeling some folks in the UO executive building are wondering the exact same thing.
Are ticket packages available for it yet? Their might not be anyone if they don't release those details soon
While I never expected it too, I am finding this build to be more visually compelling than the spectacle going on over at AK. Of course, I realize that VB will have no mega ride attraction but still.

Interesting article from the informer, talks about the originally designed Lava Lagoon for Disney Paris
Welcome to Lava Lagoon, the original Volcano Bay

Have they given details about the park hours or does any wise theme park Yoda have a idea what it could be?
They have three day park to park, three park days and a four day that adds VB on for $5 for the 4th day. No singles or AP word yet
Universal is really working on the longer vacation stays and spending per guest (Hotels, Food, Merch)...Implementing the WDW system, big time. . Cha Ching, Cha Ching.
Found it:
EDIT: Found this in this forum thread. I did not get it from the new Universal site.

Well if they don't have some kind of single day or include it with the AP I guess I'll never be going haha
I agree, if I can't add it to an AP or get single day I will have to make do at CBBR. I think that will change after opening but we are 2 months out to see what happens.
Yes..I am getting more and more nervous that this will only be available to people who stay three days
That, and the poor attractions debuted the last couple of years are making me reconsider my pass next year
I'm guessing the policy for the grand opening first three months (summer peak season) may be different than the longer term policy. They haven't released details yet. That may be because they're still watching to see what the demand for the opening months is going to be before they make a commitment.
I get it but Universal has always made me feel valued as an AP and I want to give them money, I hope that continues and doesn't morph into the Disney model where I felt they only wanted to take my money
Exactly...There is a reason I have an AP to Universal and only go to Disney cause I get in free
My guess is that they'll do some special AP events, as is their rep. And probably special ticketing also. But maybe not the first couple of months. If demand is real high, then the limited capacity of a water theme park becomes an issue. You can only fit so many people in X space. There has to be a ton of AP holders out there.It can become a quandry on how to handle so many people.....I think demand is going to go through the roof for this summer at VB. I know I'll get criticized for saying this (and I'm one of the people that have welcomed Pandora from the start, even when most people were naysayers), but I think Volcano Bay is going to surpass Pandora in fan interest, excitement & participation.

I think VB and Avatar are the only reasons I have to return to Orlando this year but knowing how crazy busy both will be, makes it a lot easier to put off a trip till next year.
I think the only negative thing people will say about VB over the next few months will be how busy it is. The people at Universal must be praying that the queueless system works flawlessly. Last thing they want is a stream of angry people leaving the park like when 1990.
Well, the major problem with 1990 though, was that hardly anything worked when they opened it. I don't see that situation with VB. Water slides are child's play compared to new tech attractions.
