New Water Park coming to Universal Orlando?

[KFCbowlcombo]

Wow so based off that newest image we can see a few things:

1) the location of the Entrance and load towers for the major slides
2) the Locations/layout of the wave pool, volcano, lazy river and rapids river
3) Gift shop/restaurant/bathroom/changing room locations

I'm less familiar with the specific layout of the rapids river vs a lazy river. I know the difference is in the loading "cove" that is added but I'm not sure which is which. Looking at aerial views of Aquatica didn't help. Am I correct in assuming the northern most river layout is for the rapids river and the southern layout is for the classic lazy river ? If so, Uni is going for a grand visual presentation on this one (As if they don't always).

How cool will it be to walk through the entrance, see the volcano in the distance and people racing along the rapids river in the foreground. Oh man. I am excited.

Was down in Uni/IOA last week by the way and I could see the dirt mound at the dig site from my hotel room balcony. They are working full time on this bad boy.

Playing it safe. :thumbs:

Figured 12 hours was enough time for people to get a glimpse of it.

Yeah, I grabbed a copy of it and emailed it all over hell! Just trying to get a feel for the room. :smiley:

the magic place

and btw, for those of you that might have wondered what some of the legends might mean, the two clouds indicate a revision. The number in the triangle indicates how many revisions there have been.

Dang, I missed the photo. Someone DM a link pretty please. Nevermind, found it

 

[Macfr3ak]

of course i missed it lol it's alright something will come around

So it looks like the kids area would be down along I-4, where that little mini lazy river is, and I would guess the largish rectangle next to it to be a play structure.

Forget if we had already nixed the idea of a Minions area, but that would be great for the kids section, a "Minion Beach."

Can someone PM me? I can't find it on Magic or the other link that was provided.

 

[maxairmike]

Go to the previous page where Teebin quoted the image, as it is still showing up in the quote for me. Then you can right click, open in new tab, and then save it, which is what I did.

I finally found it over on the Magic site. But I had to wade through endless pages of people screaming and shouting at each other over stuff that wasn't even related to the waterpark. Eek. Its good to be back home.

Yes, that is what we love about here and dislike about there.

This is by far the friendliest theme park forum around. We'll disagree at times, but generally in a nice way. And there's not many arrogant & ignorant posters as you see just about everywhere else. Good people here on OU.

Guess i'll just have to use my imagination as to what the image was. I have no idea what the "magic site" is...

 

[Cheezbat]

Lets just say it was in a very 'Spirited' thread...on a WDW site...that happens to be 'magic'-al.

Get it now?

 

[Zooma]

I just got back from Megacon to catch up on all that I missed. I finally found the image though.

Looking at the pictures of the plot of land it does not seem that big, how much room do you thing it will have for expansions, cause it looks like its already packed to the brim.
