Are these white slides coming from the Volcano or are they stand-alone slides?

Awesome! Thanks for getting those screenshots. The metal work makes me wonder about the theming for those slides.Here's a look at those slides we're discussing, taken from a screenshot in the video, so we can see how far away they actually are from the volcano:

Yea, it's like a bouquet of flowers made of giant steel.Awesome! Thanks for getting those screenshots. The metal work makes me wonder about the theming for those slides.
I'm not sure why Disney is doing such. Disney has nothing to worry about. Avatar is going to be wayyyy more popular than a water park that discourages individual tickets.Looking like Universal & Disney are dueling big time to one up each other on their blockbuster openings (VB versus Pandora). Disney is reportedly diverting workers from other projects to get Pandora done quicker. My guess is that Universal will push for the earliest soft opening timetable they can achieve so they can beat Disney to the finish line & reap the publicity bonanza.

Yep, I think that's going to happen. The buzz around this park is more than even I expected. They're going to need every on site hotel room they can get. They're 90% full now (per Universal's own statement). With more extended stays once VB opens, rooms will get even tighter. Tourists that were spending a couple of days on site can easily stretch it to 5 days or a week when VB opens. ...Of course, I've been a crazy fan for a while with my three to four weeks onsite every year. But that's definitely the exception.I wasn't that excited when SeaWorld was building Aquatica, but now it's my favorite water park and I visit it practically weekly during the summer.
Way back when, I specifically purchased the multi-park annual pass to include it because I liked it so much after a free day came with my Discovery Cove ticket.
I think VB may be one of those things Universal offers as an add-on to multi-day tickets that people end up enjoying so much it becomes a must-visit park every time they visit Orlando in the future.

In the call today, Comcast officials stated quite boldly that Volcano Bay will be the world's best water park.
I feel like, in reality, this may be slightly difficult to achieve. The nearby sight lines of Orlando neighborhoods, highways, and I-Drive could pull a lot of guests out of the immersion. Something to consider.
Historically what has the deal been with prices for softs for a new park? Are they as they are intending to set the day rate or discounted since there is no guarantee everything will be up and running?
