Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[twebber55]

Disney needs to worry about their investments not being able to recoup costs as price increases don't offset attendance lost.

Somehow i think they ll manage to pull through

Not to get off topic..but Star Wars land is going to make so much money when it launches in 2065

I swear, this website sometimes... :saw: :censored:

Universal’s Newest Theme Park is Opening Soon. Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Buy a Ticket Yet | Theme Park Tourist

what do you guys think?

I saw that article, and think it's total garbage. I've noticed the author of that article has a tendency to write misinformed pieces fairly regularly though.

It's a good thing (for them) that they screen the comments on their website because I think there'd be a lot of critical comments on that one...

Theme Park Tourist seems to take the BuzzFeed approach to theme park news. Clickbait titles, an emphasis on driving traffic, tons of ads. (Aside: BuzzFeed funnels a lot of money from their crap into their killer news organization which does amazing journalism).

I feel like they have a lot left to finish in only 4 months or so...

I dont see this being done in 4 months unless things start to ramp up.

I was shocked by how many workers were on site my last visit. I've never seen so many workers working on a single project in my life. (There's several dozen people scattered on the volcano alone.)

I always think Universal's not gonna finish something on time but they've been knocking everything out the last several years so I just stopped questioning it.

I was the same way the other day. Look at all these people!

Seuss Landing has one less ride than DHS and 2 less than DAK. So yeah, Disney has more "gates".

That is just hilarious...
At the moment, Universal offers more for your money.

Over 40 in this pic:

Over 50 in this one:

And those are just a couple areas, pics taken within a minute of each other. There has to be another 60+ on the volcano. Another 30+ working on the park entrance. And I have no idea how many working behind the volcano or on slides that are obstructed. It's like the dozers from Fraggle Rock! They just keep building and building!

Love that Fraggle Rock Dozers reference. Very apt. :thumbsup:

Haha same,here. Especially the last few attractions. They went up so quick that even when questioned we got answers right away. I love Universals speed and determination. Makes watching construction that much more fun.

Yet DHS and DAK are going to be pulling in,so much money being separate gates while suess lackluster attractions don't actually draw people in. (and i like suess)

They need to finish this up so they can move over to Pew Pew land. Good time to be a rockwork specialist in OTown.

Along north international drive you can see Volcano Bay pretty darn good now with the scaffolding coming down. Ill try and get some shots

Doozer construction is edible though...

I made the mistake of reading while taking a drink. I have now learned my lesson.

Any construction is edible, if you're determined enough.

I even heard trough the 'static "floating" mountain grape vine' that Disney has a scheme in place to sell off parts of their rockwork from Avatar land during an exclusive diner party for only $499.- in the unlike event that the area isn't profitable enough. It's done by Frank Brough so I'm sure it's worth at least double the price.
