well its always good to get different perspectives although i disagree with him about the water park theme park thing its just not a big deal to me
the one day ticket thing does bother me

Man this park has come a long way and its going to look amazing when its done! I cannot wait to visit later this year!
With the back end of the volcano, the one that is wide open, are they planning to enclose it more? I know that they will not seal it completely, but the concept art shows more rockwork ascending to the right of the final drop for the water coaster.
Anyone know if what we're seeing is the final rockwork being installed?

I imagine they wanted a more open view to expose more of the slides..I wouldn't expect anymore where scaffolding is down
Send feedback via the universal website that you want ticket prices.
Seriously, they only respond when they reach a certain volume of complaints.

I'm also sort of confused how the concept art could be so off on the rockwork. Universal is usually spot on with their concept art, but the rock work circled in red doesn't seem to exist in the construction site. Even though minor details like the temple supports circled in blue are spot on. Incredibly bizarre but the landscaping looks beautiful in the aerials.
They're still building like crazy. There's still a possibility that they patch some of the hole at the side, they could possibly still need access for cranes that would be difficult or slow to manuver.

Thinking about the huge hole in the side of the volcano. I just can't see this being left as is, you can see the exposed steel skeleton.
If Universal leave it like this, it will make all the theming done so far completely irrelevant as nobody will be able to see past this.
If I were a betting man, the pieces were pre-fabricated as they do not have be an actual part of the structure and they will fit them in when they are finished working on the inside. As @Trumen882 pointed out, the concept art shows some of the volcano that is not in existence yet on site.
At least if the Yeti stops working they have a way to take it out............So, that Volcano side will just be a giant jigsaw puzzle.
There's a small part of me that can't get over the thought that if I was to tap the volcano it would sound hollow since I've watched it been built from nothing.
I'm know that the pieces are more than fibreglass and that it has a coat of concrete over the top and will sound solid but until I'm physically standing there and tapping it, I won't be able to think otherwise.
