Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[epcyclopedia]

Right now, it's architecturally wrong because it's based on Greek/Roman due to the components. If those are just underlying structure and it's not finished that can change, but some elements don't belong in this particular region.

Also, if I wanted historically/culturally accurate representations of specific places, I would go there. Not rely on a water "theme" park.

Believe it or not this isn't the real thing as seems to be your expectation. As others have said if you want it to be accurate go and see it. I'm honestly lost to why it's such an issue when this is it's own "world" as such and the theming has got influences from across a vast pool of architecture, equating in something truly unique to itself. I suppose the volcano is an issue too as it's oddly shaped and erupts water as opposed to lava?

His ego sure knows how to derail conversation after conversation.

Back to the park. The large foundations around the perimeter of the park, especially on the I-4 side, suggest to me that there is going to be some sort of wall built there to block the view of the road from inside the park. Does anyone have any information?

Where do you see those foundations? Can't spot them here:

I wish they would stop teasing us with just the tip.

Also, and I don't mean to nitpick, but the Volcano looks so real but then I can't help but notice that it has all these colorful American-style water-slides running through it. Obviously out of place. And then there is what appears to be a major highway/freeway right next door. Completely ruins it for me.....

Looking at the pool where the slide with the drop at the end, is there also going to be diving, jumping cliffs?

*notes how shallow the water is*

Yes.. yes.. "diving." We'll have a forum exclusive diving contest! *writes out the invites to a select group of participants*

We probably need to make a sacrificial victim to the Volcano gods when this opens.

Just look at @Teebin's ignore list to start off.

Pools like this are too crowded for diving and jumping.

wait, is it possible to do that?

I really hope those giant yellow arrows are taken down before the park opens. They're so out of theme.

 

[WAJAS]

Not for us common folk. It was just a joke.

Everyone seems to be on edge since the start of the new year. We are all fans here guys let's all relax. Sarcasm is always welcome but let's stop with personal attacks on others here. This is a small nitche group the way it is let's not make it smaller!

I really can't wait for all the scaffolding to come down and the landscaping to start to fill it. This is really going to start to rocket to the finish line.

 

[Mad Dog]

We kind of have a pretty good idea who's at the top of Teebin's list.
