hmmm. To Express Pass or not to Express Pass for my trip in June. . . . .

How many of you are there? Just you? No brainer

Planning on renting a Cabana in October when I go. Very excited for that

you should book soon, August is already nearly sold out.

I'm not too worried about October, considering it's the offseason, but will probably book in a month or two

Just be careful if you're booking around Columbus Day weekend, as there are an increasing number of schools that have Fall Break around that time.

What are the busses like at Universal? Do they come often enough + aren't too crowded?

I say this because I've never had a great experience with busses at Disney.

They're a lot better, at least at this point. They have a much smaller area to cover.

When Park 3/WNW hotels/Park 3 Hotels open? That'll be an interesting situation

Re: Security, he says "guests are screened at buses. Also a checkpoint near entry for CBBR guests walking over."

any "cave" photos yet? really curious how that looks.

One of my favorite aspects of Volcano Bay from the videos, is that it shows the depth of scale in close quarters. And in a way, I am really digging that; even as it is from low quality as of now.

So... the coaster and drop slides were functional today? Sounds as if.

From @Skubersky on twitter

"It's 214 steps to the top of Krakatau, the green drop slide is the most intense I've ever done (& the other 2 are great too) #VolcanoBay"

The green one and not the red one! :saywhat:

If security is before the tunnel after the bus drop, I'm assuming that the path from Cabana Bay and from the bus stop at the front door will have it's own security as well?

Yup.

I told yall that those twisty slides are going to steal the show. Glad to see they've managed to stumble to the finish line.

They were, yes.

Also, the drop slides have weight requirements as a heads up.

Here's some folks doing the serpentine drop slides, skip to the end if you don' wanna experience walking up 200 steps:

EDIT: And looks like the trap doors have little windows so you can see through them!

I believe they're 300lbs usually.. Not sure if this one's any different.
