Volcano Bay: General Discussion

[Journey_On]

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)

Security building is on-site. The main TM break area/TM grill is behind Bambu. There is also an additional break area (trailer) behind Maku Puihi.

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.

I'm curious about this two. It's certainly two-fold-
1- If it has the time, it's good for the guest- we get to see the time, which I would certainly prefer.
But
2- If it has the time- it's bad for Universal. If something says "120 minute wait" for krakatau- someone can easily see it's 10am and they'll be on by noon. If they have to pull a ride vehicle off-line, waits would go up- and people would see it wasn't 120 minutes easier. It might be a negative in Universal's eyes until they have a much better handle on the return times.

Crowds definitely getting less and less. Have a good friend there now and said he didn't have to use his Tapu Tapu until around noon. Employees told him "The park is dead today"

And he saw Leiv Schreiber there.

I still haven't been to the park, and I'm not sure I will any time soon. How many issues is the park still having?

@Ash Looks like you've picked the perfect time to head to the park after all. No excuses now. :thumbsup:

I would go now. Seems like a good time. Also, its not nearly as bad as the hype makes it out to be. Everything gets blown out of proportion on message boards in general (both good and bad).

Everyone wants this (I don't get it), but why would UOR want you to know what time it is? That's not a vacation! Would they put clocks in a casino?

Yeah, where does everyone need to be? Also, I feel like if they had a purpose s0me would deem useful outside of the park, more people would try to jack them.

I wished they had a clock a few times when my wife and I split up to do different things. Then we could've set a meeting time somewhere instead of having to stand around. Even better would be if you could ping your location to your group but that would get too complicated

All the Information boards (where they list the wait times) list the current time and the time the park closes at the top.

 

[Skold]

If they're not going to have clocks on them, then (at the very least) they should have loud bells going off when the bars open.

First eruption of the day at opening of the bars...

...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.

I wonder when the Margaritaville water park starts. People forget thT this one isn't supposed to be small and open to outside guests.

 

[Coasted]

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

This is why we can't have nice things.

... and hair bands on Mount Gushmore just before you leap off the ski lift!

I am curious as to how well VB is going to hold up during Irma. Those vinyl roofs and all that freshly planted landscaping could be a mess.

Even if the storm sweeps the coast, I would expect trouble.

 

[Coasted]

VB tolerance to levels of inclement weather - out of interest does anybody have experience? When Hulk closes, do 'all' slides in VB close?

After the hurricane they might change the name to "Typhoon Lagoon II"

It's actually quite worse at VB...if there is inclement weather, it isn't just the slide that closes but the queues close as well. It isn't like the Hulk or other rides where you can still wait in the queue.

Thank you.
