    on the first day of park opening kala and tai nui "broke down" for a short period and I was waiting first to ride the green slide. When they had people checking the ride they were running the palm of their hands across the the connecting seam between the trap door and the pipe of the slide. They...

    Does anyone know what the current weight limit on Kala and Tai Nui is? It started at 300 and dropped to 200 pounds. So I've been wondering if it has returned to 300 yet?

    Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

    I always brace my arms on the front rest before any of the brake elements. That way it doesn't punch you in the gut. haha

    How long will The Simpsons Ride last?

    I dont think they will remove it any time soon. Especially with all the newer springfield stuff. It looks pretty rooted. I would expect anything in the kids area to go next.

    Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

    I really enjoyed the ride. I thought the line was a great chance to cool off and do absolutely nothing in the a/c in a chair until my color came up. Call me lazy. I didnt experience anything the waiting area had to offer except for hearing things that were going on in a crowded room. You dont...

    Yeah totally bums me out when they shut the waves off on the fearless river. I can understand the frustration. Glad you guys had fun. Wish you could have enjoyed the night time too. Another miscalculation on their part! Ugh!

    I went again last week. Things have improved. But they lowered the maximum weight on Kala and tai nui + body plunge from 300 pounds to 200 pounds. I was no longer able to ride. Not sure if this was temporary while they check some things but the main signs looked like they were altered. This made...

    It still seems very convenient to have a cabana. They have personal ride kiosks where you can tapu for a ride without actually having to walk to it first. If anything I would say keep it, your family will probably be happier. I just say ride the ones you want to ride early because later you...

    Why? How many times do you have to go until the park is ready? I never asked for a handout.

    Anything. The park is not ready for the public. If anything I tried to tone down my disappointment on this forum. And I tried to look past all the faults at the good things in the park. Yeah the slides are great.

    I sent a formal complaint to universal to see if they can rectify. I'll let you guys know what their response is.

    There are no consequences for losing your tapu in the park. Once you activate a new one with the park staff your old info gets taken off the old tapu (and your credit card is password protected in case someone tries to use it). They have trackers on the tapu when leaving the park so there is no...

    It's their first week of their jobs you would think they would be trying to impress their bosses and get stuff done. They have staff just walking around saying Kai ora or whatever and they dont look like theyre doing anything but talking to each-other and hanging out. The sand seems fairly...

    It worked on Tuesday when I was there. But its possible you could be right.

    I agree 100% with everything said in this review. And I'm pretty sure if you piece my reviews together from both days its almost verbatim. Haha .. urghhhhh so much WANT to love this place. On opening day they had "the guy responsible for the park" i bet if he stood up there now there would be...

    I tried the footlong hotdog on a pretzel bun topped with pineapple salsa combo with fries. I enjoyed it and thought it was good value for money. The bun however is pretty much devoid of all flavor but does a good job holding the dog and sufficiently filling your stomach up for more fun. The...

    I was there again yesterday and would urge anyone interested in this park to wait a few months before going. No water effects bar one functioning. What is a water park without water effects. Lines are getting ridiculous. You may often wait 150min + for your tapu to let you wait in a physical 30+...
