Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[Cheezbat]

I would figure having this thing open by March sounds about right...Wet N Wild is closing in December 2016, and spring breaks start the beginning of March. They will lose out on a LOT of money if they aren't open by then.

^ Perhaps some kind of "messy" supershooters? Messy in that most supershooters are a controlled solid stream. This would need to be more sprayish.

Perhaps WET is involved: WET

Perhaps this on a grand scale!

If there is a shortage of diet coke and mentos or vinegar and baking soda in Orlando, we'll know who's responsible.

Ooooh... I like that!

Not a bad guess (or "guess"?). This looks like great experience to me...

Wow! They are still building it! And yes, that is for VB and there will be a tunnel dug underneath adventure way.

No value engineering going on at Universal. They are spending Comcast money (in order to make lots & lots more.)

 

[UniversalCityFL]

Wow, I never could have guessed that transportation plan. Universal be smart.

You know, they could actually run a Disney style tram down this extension. A tram would seem much more beachy and the plastic seats more doable for all the wet people. Not sure why this hadn't occurred to me before.

I read it would be for tram and bus.
How is that going to work or is that false information.
I'd love it to be a tram tour totransition from parking lot to waterpark.

 

[Teebin]

Yeah, the mirage volcano works, except the fire balls. Volcanos do not shoot up clean balls of fire ever.

Move to 03:30 as this is where it is happening.

 

[Mad Dog]

They could use that for the hotel resort buses also.

I never thought I'd see the day that Universal would have trams again but it seems like the obvious choice.

They already outlined this in a survey sent out years ago, plastic-covered seats and all.

Its a pleasant surprise to see USO get Trams back to the fashion (and it probably won't be the last). I am very curious to see the trams design, and more importantly; if they get the same people who does Hollywoods trams to be attatched for these new transport trams.

When you say tram, do you mean a real one running on rails? I ask, because sometimes the term tram is also used for large tram like busses like in Busch Gardens.

I was thinking of the parking lot trams...

I remember a survey like that from about two or three years ago.

Orlando Sentinel reports that guests for Volcano Bay will park in the bottom floor of the south garage (the 6 story one) and board a 150-seat tram for travel to the park.

Parking for Volcano Bay water park will be in Universal garage, plans show - Orlando Sentinel

This was posted a good few pages back.

I'd assume it was a tram like Disney use in their car parks. Would cost far less.
