Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[Teebin]

Too funny. Note the straight ahead arrow on the traffic light sign. There is no longer a straight ahead of Wallace crossing Turkey Lake. No such construction entrance any longer.



Although that might still be the entrance to the service road.

Drive up cabana service.

I hope they pump up the music in those cabanas. Not very relaxing being 6 ft from a road. Especially if you are paying a premium to sit there.

Those cabanas look way too close to the road.

Universal responded to Channel 9’s questions about the park not being fully ready to open in a statement that said, "The vision for Volcano Bay is ambitious. We are creating an entire theme park unlike any other. Our plan is to deliver a great experience for our guests on May 25 – and we feel great about doing so."

This sounds like spin. Yes they'll be delivering a great experience, but it doesn't deny everything not being fully ready.

that actually makes me nervous...I hope those GPS maps get updated quickly. People tend to follow their GPS off bridges sometimes.

That is an illusion of a zoom lens. I would judge that those cabanas are actually 60'-100' from the road if not more. Remember that there is a service road that surrounds the entire park. That has to be at least 40' feet wide.

@Miketheboss made it to the news again at channel 9, they quoted your post where you said the flagship attraction would not be ready. I have to say, theme park rumor and enthusiast sites getting in the news like that is kind of cool.

Personally, since CNN had that press preview thing, I doubt Universal is worried about it, a lot can be accomplished in a week, and since it is a waterpark, well, there is less chance of technological hiccups.

This board is worthy of being quoted on news sites because there is great info here

I really hope my GPS comment gets picked up on Fox News.

Is the Kohola Reef restaurant full service?

Negative

I don't see a second picture. I guess one has to be an Instagram member?

 

[Magic-Man]

Can everyone please stop complaining about the open back of the volcano? I just saw the newest drone video, and the place looks stunning. Including the volcano. I'm sure the place will look great when we're inside.

And this is coming from a 15 year old

I don't either. Think it wasn't loaded by @12th Man

Nothing too exciting, but here it is!

Ohhhh, BIG one!

 

[Teebin]

Aaaaah! Here is a better picture I took from the drone video. It shows how far the new cabanas are from the road plus one of the two actually being delivered (flatbed truck). So yeah, 80'-140'.

I'll be in Orlando opening weekend but my friends don't wanna go as they don't think it'll be ready. Feels like a slap in the face for me to go to Aquatica or Typhoon Lagoon when Universal just opened up a brand new park!
