Yeah, I don't know about the "treated" part. lol Every lake that I've ever been in is used as an outhouse by the boaters. It's often joked that even if it stopped raining for years, Lake Cumberland would continue to rise in the summers. :-XFor anyone wandering out of curiousity- that lake you swim in is likely treated wastewater. And that water your drinking from the Tap has been pulled from that lake and treated again.

I am for all the filtration and treatment they can throw at this. In Forida everything grows like it is in a petri dish and with the general population marinating in the waters of Volcano bay I want a fighting chance to come out unscathed. I spent many days floating in the Gulf (years every morning) and never caught anything but had a friend up in the panhandle that got necrotizing fasciitis last year up by Panama City Beach. Treat, filter and treat again so I can float with confidence.

Is that the "Cabin Fever" thing. If so, that is horrifying.
We're heading back down to UOR in May, and i'd thought it would be cool to meet up with anyone in the area, but you are officially off the list.

Shhhhh....don't give away the secrets!
That was exactly my thought. Tapu Tapu the aqua coaster then express the other rides. If it is true that express gets immediate access to the slides (in its own dedicated short line) instead of just a shorter return time via tapu tapu then I think I will definitely upgrade my hotel to include express pass this fall.
First time poster. Ecstatic to find others just as crazed as I am about Universal Orlando/Hollywood. Just wondering about the noise situation Volcano Bay will encounter due to highways/roads. I work as a project manager for a multi-national construction company. We use sound curtains, sound barrier walls, and acoustic foams to dampen noise travel. I was wondering if Universal will implement any of these products to lessen the noise levels in Volcano Bay. I'm sure they can be creative in disguising these unsightly but effective walls/barriers.
Welcome!
I don't have the plans but I could see a 20 ft sound wall along the freeway with a bamboo curtain on the park side along with water sounds and background music. I doubt they can muffle all of it but once I have drink in hand and I am floating the river I really don't care what I hear.
I think it's important to note it's not really right against I-4 but rather on/off ramps from the resort itself.
Ones which don't tend to get massive amounts of traffic (compared to I-4 itself) nor do they tend to have tractor trailers on them (so no brake noise).
A little further away is I-4, but that's the same noise you get all over the whole resort, hearing a distant siren or something.

Also, the sound of running water in hollow plastic tubes works wonders as white noise to cancel out sound.
Yes. Running water is the best noise canceler.
Plus, before it closed I visited Wet n Wild and was pretty impressed how well most of the park felt cut off from the world considering its butted up against a couple major roads. VB is even further away from roads and will have more foliage to separate, so I think it'll be just fine.

I can't wait to see that kids area. As a parent of a toddler- that is a huge selling point for us at a water park.
Probably, bones of the sacrificial virgins.

Another huge set of ariels from MickeyXtreme! :clap:
Volcano Bay will be perfectly fine from outside noises. Jurassic Park/HP are feet away from public streets.
was looking back to see if I had posted some photos I took w/ my phone from Sapphire's parking garage and I came across the above photos @BriMan had posted long ago that seemed fitting w/ the recent talk on plumbing and such so I thought I would quote it here
They seem to have a decent amount of room for expansion now that the site is cleaned up a good bit.
