"A review of Volcano Bay if anyone cares or wants info if deciding to go.
The Good: The park is beautiful in places. There was obviously a lot of care put into selecting the background music and the volcano is well done. The alcoholic drinks are spectacular, which I expect from Universal. The Krakatau aqua coaster is a really thrilling and enjoyable ride. The TapuTapu band design is cool and it was nice to be able to pay with it and do other things. The merchandise is probably the best I've seen from Uni so far. All of the employees were extremely pleasant and remained positive given some of the circumstances of the park.
The Bad: They're working out some operational growing pains. Universal says that Volcano Bay is "queue-less" but that couldn't be father from the truth. Even after waiting 200 minutes for our time to ride, we would be put into a 30 minute line to board. Universal also totes Volcano Bay as their third "theme park" but I didn't find enough substance to call it a theme park. I was excited for the bioluminescence in the caverns of the volcano but that didn't happen. I also thought there would be elements within the park linking it to the incredible backstory imagined by the creative team, but I didn't find that either. There seemed to be a lot of missed opportunities to include interactive features or even just tikis/things to look at in certain places along the lazy river, which made sitting in it for 3 hours waiting for a 30-second ride not as enjoyable as the executives had probably hoped. There weren't any physical park maps to look at other than big ones placed along the pathways but they were sort of difficult to read. Many of the trash cans were overflowing and the bathrooms ran out of soap even though there seemed to be an abundance of team members walking around or just talking to each other.
The Ugly: The park is not finished. There was caution tape all over, the landscaping looked really bad in certain areas with plants still sitting in plastic pots and mounds of dirt sitting around. There was also active construction happening during operating hours, complete with big machines beeping and moving around, which was kind of shocking. A lot of pathways were blocked off and most of the slides were closed all day or for big chunks of the day due to maintenance concerns. Another complaint I had was the ability to see and hear I-4 basically everywhere in the park. I know that the proximity of the park makes it difficult to hide I-4, especially on the steps going up to a slide, but there were a lot of opportunities where a bamboo fence maybe 8 feet tall would've been effective at shielding my view of cars zooming down the highway while inside the park.
TL;DR - I would wait until they work the kinks out to visit. It's a nice park but there are definitely some operational issues and it's not finished."
