I really can't stress this enough... Do what ever it takes to push that trip back in order to come to HHN...

In terms of passes this is what I think will happen
I think Power and Preferred will stay the same and both be given an option to purchase or rather add on VB to their passes. But I also think they follow the same rules as Power and Preferred and Power will have Peak blackout dates. As for Premier I think they change it completely. I think they add VB to Premier but take away Valet, Express, and some of the other stuff like a free HHN ticket. But with that then I think they create a whole new high end pass that will include all 3 parks admission, free express, yada yada yada and charge a fortune for it. Like $500 dollars a year type money for the nations Top 5%.

This seems reasonable. It might be enough incentive for me to cancel my Preferred pass and get a Premier. I really wish Universal allowed upgrades.

This is so true! I put off HHN many years because my wife never wanted to go. It's so sad to look back now and think of all the HHN's I missed.
I honestly expect Premier to change sooner rather than later. The HHN ticket has become too good of a value to include on Premier, so I won't be surprised if this is the last year Premier gets a free ticket. You're practically paying for a HHN ticket and $20 for the other Premier perks compared to Preferred. I think Express stays but blockouts are enforced during the same periods Power is blocked out.
I wouldn't mind if they dropped the HHN ticket for another perk because it would never be something I would use. Always go frequent fear. Unless you can use the value of the ticket or give your free ticket to someone else?
If they are calling this their third theme park i bet it is included on some form on all 3 tickets. I can see power getting one free ticket a year for a non blackout day. Preferred getting multiple days or have blackouts for the summer and then premier getting unlimited with the removal of HHN. Or they make it an add on but that seems to go against them presenting it as an integral part of the resort and not just another Waterpark.

People are still putting way too much stock into the "third gate" stuff.

Eh.. I disagree. The ticket is for a non-peak night and the value of it is like what..$40-$45? I don't think it's that huge of a perk.
Since non-peak night tickets aren't available to FL residents I'm including the standard price. It's still a pretty big value even when the discounted ticket is in place (about 55 dollars if the increase rumor is true).

If your planning to purchase FFP it's value is $0. I think this is one perk that needs to be changed. I know of several people who would be the type to probably get a FFP but have a hard time justifying it since they already have a free ticket. I think they should just do a better discount, perhaps a choice of $20 extra off FFP or a one day off peak ticket for $20.
Wow...
So much talk about Premier passes and HHN in the Volcano Bay thread...
So how about that Waterpark?

Random stab here, water park is an upgrade option to the current ticket options. Stand alone ticket on par with WDW one day ticket to TL/BB, so around $60.
When did UOR start showing Wet & Wild slides under the "water rides" section of their wait time app?
I just noticed it...

Interesting. Does this park have a version of Express yet? Because I just might visit it.
Yes
yes, the sell express at W&W but it is rarely necessary in the first couple hours of the day.
Some construction pics I got on our way in last night
Bottom left you can see some work getting started in the pit. Sorry for the barrier blocking though, was tough to get
Some concrete pipe, typically used for drainage. Which I have feeling is for Saphire and not Volcano Bay, using that site as a storage facility. But I could be wrong
