There is no rope bridge on the backside of the volcano. Based on the concept videos, it looks like it is actually just a walkway/platform.

I'm confused about something. Will VB be part of your annual pass or do you need to buy a separate ticket?

It will be part of AP and will be a separate ticket. They just haven't released specifics other than the new 3-day/3-park pass.

Very disappointed that the stairway for the drop slides is located OUTSIDE the Volcano. Could've been so much cooler built up and around the interior of the Volcano...bubbling magma, lava trickling down...talk about a missed opportunity.

What color will those two slides in the opening be?

The twisty ones are green and blue. The straight drop is red.

I see where you are coming from regards to having the stairs scaling the entire interior and would have loved the same but if you look near the top there does not seem to be that much space in there especially if you take note of the picture below and on the left the platforms for the stairs show just how much they stick out and they are the closest to being actually classed as inside the volcano. The internal spaces has been used for those drop slides and I imagine to get some stairs around the inside face would have required the volcano having an even larger volume and its already enormous as it is! Technically the stair on the right of the photo are on the internal side of the volcano too so its not like they are winding around the outside, I think climbing those stairs to the top is going to be a great experience itself.

Love how high those rafts go and its strange how I have spent hours looking at photos of this slide being constructed but you really don't get a sense of scale until you see a raft inside it, way bigger than it looks in the photos and that goes for nearly everything at this park, photos really don't do it justice!

When they have start to rise the structure, I've imagined the volcano fully closed, but this decision to open the back is nice!
Those stairs are gonna create a serious anticipation among the guest before reaching the top haha !

What if I told you guys that one contractor hasn't been given access to the site yet. And is starting to become very concerned about the completion date.

There is not much more to add. One of the contractors that is supposed to be building some of the elements hasn't been allowed on site yet. And the project lead from that company is very concerned about getting done with everything they need to do before opening day.

I keep having mixed emotions. Some days I feel like they are in danger of hitting the deadline and other days I feel like they are going to come in on time. They have 2 months and 3 weeks left before the full opening. I think they can do this !
