Isnt Tapu based on an existing water park reservation system?

It was used at Wet n Wild over the Summer. However, I didn't see a single blogger/lifestyler head to the park over the Summer to see just how it would work.

Just like everyone's concerns that Hogwarts Express would post 3+ hour lines and have the worst capacity of any theme park attraction of all time. And that totally did happen. Biggest disaster in theme park history, and certainly worth talking about for several months before-hand, because it definitely wasn't a non issue in the end.

Meanwhile, no one thought trying to GPS position boats on a manmade pond would cause any issues for Rivers of Light. We can cherry pick arguments for either side all day.

It's a discussion forum. If you don't want to discuss things then why post?

A discussion is one thing, but I feel you're just being contradictory. I say a positive thing about VB, you say a negative. I like the idea of not having to wait in line. You complain that we'll be walking around too much to have fun. This isn't an argument, you're just contradicting everything I say.



We can discuss something else if you like. Let's go back to the color of the slides argument. I've grown tired of the virtual lines one. :)

Just realized Volcano Bay could possibly have the tallest water slide in the US with Ko'okiri at 125 ft.

Yep, as you probably know there is one in Kentucky at 121' and change then Summit Plummet at 120' as @Disneyhead posted. If you don't think they will advertise the heck out of that you must be eating $5 Mickey bars

Since Verruckt is coming down, Volcano Bay has the tallest water slide! :blank:

So many things marketing can use... first multidirectional pool, no lines, whatever that slide with a geyser is. TapuTapu...

After seeing the volcano in person, no photo is doing it justice for just how grand it is.

I really need to get out there this year.

I believe the gap in the walkway going up the volcano is where a very open shaky rope bridge is going to go. At almost 1o0 feet up, it's going to freak some people out before they can even get to the top.
