They're closed down. Not sure why
Apparently the Wave pool went down too recently.
This is a pretty funny tweet from today. Good to hear they are working during the day too.
Bet they are working on the stairs, wonder if the river is running normally? No way would they be working up top with guests down below net or no net.
oh geez.. i hope thats not your credit score
EDIT: This is not from yesterday, it's from one of the first days the wait times board was available, cool your tits.

It would only take 39.75 hours to ride everything in the park with those wait times.
Luckily I usually only ride the Taniwha Tubes type slides when I visit water parks, so I never have to worry about waiting too long!
Just never enough hours in the day to get everything done
I wonder what the waits are now? Yesterday they had shortened quite a bit by now.
Looks like an extra mist effect is coming out of the Aqua Coaster...Could they have added that in the tubes maybe?

Surprise. Surprise.
On a side note, a friend of mine who is a loyal annual pass holder and was planning on going to volcano bay this weekend, read all the horror stories online and is instead going to animal kingdom ...even though he is staying at Port a fino. He is also doing IOA one day.
So if you think the bad reviews aren't effecting people's travel plans; you're mistaken.
PS - he doesn't read this forum, and I had nothing to do with this decision...lol.
The coaster looks great.
Still, as hard as I try, I just can't help but notice those hideous stairs in the background! But I'm being optimistic and after seeing that video clip, I'm more convinced than ever that there is no way Universal will leave these as is.
They will definitely be fixed. Right? Tell me they will be fixed.....
Is it so horrible though if you got there at 10, got in a bunch of slides for two hours, tapped for a three hour wait...so wave pool, rivers, bars, restaurants, lounge out, people watch...ride at 3 and the park starts to slow down (families are spent from the sun and the stair rides) so you tap for a one hour wait...chill, do any of the above that you liked or missed...it's 6, dinner and a volcano eruption or are you done now?
I love the slow season, but the parks close too early.
I thought they were 0's (poorly writing)
I think it was my 1st trip to UNI in many many moons (I never saw Jimmy Neutron..zina..) and a dump truck was driven up the street, both sides of the pathway where London is now was walled up.
I enjoy Transfomers...my only thought on that trip was 'this ain't Disney' and that was what I was looking for at the time...and I've renewed every year since..

I mentioned earlier this week that I anticipated we'd see big improvements by the end of this week - but based on some of the pictures it doesn't seem like they're in much of a rush. The only new visible improvements that I see are the mist effects on the slides and some additional bamboo around the park perimeter.
Am I missing anything?

The long park hours seem to have given rise to the same issue Pandora has with its night lighting - when could they do any major fixes?
They've backed themselves into a corner where the only real work they can do is at night.
