Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[Mr. EPCOT]

Recreating logos and designs is a major part of my job so I'll happily recreate something like this. I find it soothes a part of the soul as sad as that is.

I totally get it, I do technical drawings and whenever I have the occasion to copy something I love it because it's just very soothing.

Silly video is surprisingly informative:

I... am not the intended audience for that video. :what:

Weird... but me too... the complex traces have me spinning down the rabbit hole... :saywhat:

That Wave Pool Beach looks huge! Looks like there should be plenty of room to find a spot.

I love the CBBR Lazy River, but it looks like a bath tub next to the VB Lazy Rivers.

Anyone here have a clue what the palms are that look like coconut palms? They are not queen palms or mule palms. Coco's are dead in the water in a freeze yet have the flat appearance of each frond. I am baffled.

The three tallest palms in the round white sandy area dead center of this picture are what I am talking about.

Love this new thing of kissing their annual pass every time they say annual pass. Is this the 2nd video where they've done this? Their commercials are pretty damned funny.

I'm surprised they haven't started a hashtag like #kissmypass

That's a lot of dirty water...

I guess since it's not an aquarium they can use all kinds of chemicals, but i know getting the tanks clean at places like Seas take weeks, if not months, of filtering.

Wonder what the differences with the "Family Cabanas" will be.

Man, I was going to ask if you thought those were cocnut. I think they can micro-climate them to keep them growing

Looking at the insane amount of vegetation around the entrance, the way the entrance building roof is shaped and the crazy winding paths in that area it seems like they are trying to make it so you can't really see the full extent of the volcano until you are standing right in front of the wave pool.

^Yep, it's very clear that they are taking a page out of Typhoon Lagoon and Animal Kingdom - which is smart on their part given how grand the volcano will look from that vantage point.

Crossing my fingers that the rest of this park is equally as lush, as that *may* be some kind of consolation for the missing back half of the volcano.

Aquatica had grown in so nicely since 2006, so I can only hope the same will be true for this park. SWP&E may do landscaping the best, but Universal always comes in at a very close second place in that department.

Could they be foxtails?

Premium seating seems like a super good deal! :thumbsup:

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Sooooo, they're pricing this out like cruise excursions?

 

[epcyclopedia]

Dear god, what's the allure of cabanas?

You get to take the cabanas home with you at the end of the day for that price, right??! :look:

When people have disposable income and want to live deliciously, they would rent a top tier cabana to hang with their 5 friends and chill. I know I'm picking out some prime real estate when I visit.
