View attachment 3537 I don't know about you guys, but I'm far more excited to see the theming on this park go up over the following months than anything else new that's coming in 2017. I mean all they have so far is slides that's it. Everything else is dirt. We're gonna be seeing hundreds of palm trees, so many little details that I can't wait.
-
And also I don't know about you guys, but I remember a the very first slidepiece that went into the volcano and nothing else ever happened after that with the slide. Anyone know what happened here?

Yep, really looking forward to the landscaping etc. as for that first slide piece you have noted, I'm pretty sure that is part of the water coaster and would have been placed in their first because it will obviously be difficult to get to once construction started around it. I would dig back for evidence of progress on those areas but as you may understand there would be a lot to dig through!

Just drove by VB and wow, it's really coming together with the landscaping and other finishing touches starting to come to life.

I normally don't post on here and just like to observe, but I just saw a resort commercial on TV that said "3 theme parks and 5 resort hotels". Accompanying it was the same concept footage that we've seen.

Hmmm...
Coup considers TapuTapu a major breakthrough and says that Universal plans to roll out the technology at its existing theme parks as well. One likely attraction that could incorporate TapuTapu: Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon, the new ride coming to Universal Studios Florida in spring 2017.

"Whimsical"?? What are the odds that anyone has looked at Krakatau and really thought, "Man, that's sure a whimsical-looking volcano..."

I thought this quote was interesting:
Among the innovations, Coup says that some of the attractions will incorporate media and other immersive storytelling techniques used at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.

It would seem to imply that there will be more than just the aqua coaster that may have more in the way of show elements and such.

It's a buzzword, Universal can't say 'magical'

...and that quote is very exciting...I'm imagining many of the slides will use that LED technology within the slides

Just a few more to add to @Alexshow

Looks like a conveyor belt system for the station. Hopefully this will be loading similar to RRR for that high capacity.

This has actually cleared something up for me. For the longest time, I thought the slides with the big drop into the pool was from the top of the volcano.

I've been using a chrome extension that makes every image full size.
