Volcano Bay: General Discussion

[shiekra38]

Haha I know, I was trying to throw some fun sarcasm in the midst of the new lighting disagreement

 

[Cheezbat]

The back of the volcano IS finished.

Nobody will believe you.


(It's gotta be enclosed completely for anyone to actually think that!)

...Anyways, I wonder when they'll begin prep work on the next slide. It doesn't take more than 3-4 months to install a water slide.

When we were there at the end of June, it looked to me like they were already working on the expansion pad. They were at least landscaping the perimeter.

It took Disney ~6 months from groundbreaking to opening for Miss Fortune falls. While a traditional water slide could be done sooner, landscaping and other theming at these themed water parks will make it take longer.

Re: the expansion pad- they don't need the expansion right now as it's only getting slower by the day. But they'll need to start actively moving by November at the latest if they are planning to have it ready by May of next year.

Are all of the worker buildings gone now? I have no idea whether management/security offices were built on site. Where are the TM break rooms?

(i am just full of questions, aren't i)

I would think that with the expansion, they'll wait until everything is 100% ready & well tested before they open it. I doubt they want a repeat on the park's opening issues (Open Before It's Time)

The new honeycomb tubes that they brought in during the summer will be replaced soon to accommodate a more comfortable experience. Apparently the new tubes may even have some backing.

I did not feel secure at all in those honeycomb tubes. But it definitely added to the thrill when you feel like you might fly out any second.

 

[Andysol]

Any idea when the tubes or Tapu tapus will be replaced? Are we talking days, weeks, months?

More interested in the Tapu tapus, of course.

Tubes was told #soon.

TapuTapu, as soon as they're done - but no specific timeframe given.

 

[GadgetGuru]

I'm pretty behind on the TapuTapu news. Are we expecting new functionality with these TapuTapus?

I saw a tent set up behind the lockers in an area (lockers open to public) that my event experience eyes would say was a break room.

I have not been since June.

There is a building, but it looks permanent to me (all from distant memories of looking at new tubes while seeing popped old raft out in an area between now and future.

Oh, I think that tower also has an elevator...

When do 2018 blackout dates come out for Annual Passes? Curious to see if they'll change for VB and maybe consider blocking out more of the Summer.

Volcano Bay blockout for Team Members have been extended indefinitely. They were supposed to be lifted August 20th.

I guess business is still really good then.

Went to Pandora today for first time in awhile. Coins. Coins everywhere. Cmon people. Not everything is a wishing well!

What I find more odd are the hair bands/ties at the top of Everest!

Legend has it a group of cheerleaders started that fad. Now, it will never end.

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

To ask about the new TapuTapus that would be rolled out in the near future, would they include the time? I thought I heard that often as a complaint, of that it isn't exactly easy to keep track of the time, unless if you had your phone or went to directly ask a tm.

Just curious, but I would think that would be a good thing to implement.
