Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

It's an amazing video and shows more how things are spaced out.
I still don't understand the rules for this site. A photo over a construction wall is not done but a video from a drone or an helicopter (remember Harry Potter) is ok?

I love what drones can do but this was a little uncomfortable to watch with how close it got to the crane cables and flying above workers so high above the ground.

Any word if the water and park will change at night or was that cancelled and a idea concept?

I love the way the shape of the entrance plaza building echoes the shape of the two new CB towers.

It is ironic but it's really just a matter of respecting Universal's rules. If you were in the park shooting photos over a wall and got caught, Universal has control over that situation and could ask you to stop. Aircraft flying over their property they really can't control.

Although, I believe flying a drone over populated areas is now illegal in this country. Too, 400' is the max altitude now. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

There's so much changing right now in the drone area with the new licensing program. Many of the rules are intentionally ignored and the FAA seems to look the other way for many of them. I have a guy that shoots all my drone footage for me thankfully so I don't have to keep up with everything.

According to the travel agent information: "Waterfall effects by day, Blazing lava by night"

That's such a great description.

Has it been confirmed that the volcano will erupt every so often?

Well, the concept art displays that it will... using water and lights. I haven't seen a concept of actual fire shooting out.

I believe that at night, it should look the center columns of this fountain:

I know it's been stated so any times but driving down the I4 at night is about to become so dangerous.

The new CBBR towers look to be further apart than I imagined from photos, looks like views of VB will still be visible from CBBR pool areas, I envisaged this view to be more or less blocked by the towers.

The stability and quality on that Drone video is something else.

Just still making sure it was on.

You won't see the water or "lava" from the highway. I believe the water will just have red/organge lights shining on it at night. The concept art shows water cascading down the side.

If it's exploding out the top, I don't see any way it won't be visible and why would Universal want to hide it? Maybe to stop car crashes but as bad as it sounds, think of the free publicity.

I can see it now....Pro DIS posters on other siters...."Well at least DIS is not killing people and causing car crashes like Universal with their volcano #Disneyrocks #UNIsucks."

 

[Teebin]

And don't forget that each of the drop pools of the waterfall will have similar lights pointing upward into each of the falls... It should look nasty *** hot...

Oh if it's just going to be fountain effects then Disney still has a better erupting volcano right down the road at Disney springs

Actually water has a more realistic effect. I little fire mixed in is good but water looks far more like lava.
