Volcano Bay: General Discussion

[therealscotty]

I don't mind the birds situation, I know they'll probably have fake owls/birds of prey in backstage areas and other humane repellents in the park, I was thinking more people throwing stuff off the volcano/from the ground into the coaster slide.
I know it's gonna be rare but some jerk will try it, just look at DD.

Again, anywhere where guests can interfere with ride - is blocked off or netted off. It won't be an issue.

What hatetofly said earlier about returning the taputapu concerns me a lot, I hope they find a good way to fix this.

What was the problem? I can't seem to find the message about it

Video of Punga Racers:

Looks really fast. Too bad there's not a good view of the manta ray mats.

Also, I'm just counting the days until a Tapu Tapu appears on eBay. It's inevitable

They could some kind of beeping noise or alarm when ever your taputapu leaves volcano bay.

Growing Pains. I'm sure they will figure out a way to help accommodate people who need to leave and return ASAP.

Okay. It's a water park.

A truly gorgeous, glorious waterpark. I really want to get my tan on right now.

Theme Park | Definition of Theme Park by Merriam-Webster

Dictionary says otherwise. :shrug:

Oh did you? Because I saw quite a few that said the opposite. For every 1 negative tweet, there were 5 positives of people who had a great time. The negatives were complaining because the park was crowded. I get people are going to complain but I also see a lot of people trolling who aren't even there so take with grain of salt.

One worker did confirm that every division had guest complaints but one but I don't know what division she works.

I did indeed, and I didn't mean to offend by pointing them out. I just feel bad for the poor people who have to deal with all the complaints. Even more already on twitter from today. I hope they can work out the kinks fast, so Volcano Bay can start to shine.

For the sanity of all - let's not get back into the Water Theme Park talk. It's well-themed, and it's a water park. We know it was mostly for marketing.

The only thing I want to add is I am so excited for the day someone actually builds a water theme park! It will be so amazing. Dark ride lazy rivers, story themed water coasters, water slides with dark ride portions, could put in a splash mountain type log flume... rapids rides... it's endless. I want. Make it happen. You're the guy for us.

WaterWorld in Colorado has a water slide within a dark ride.



I will admit, I expected something like this (just more... yeah haha) in Volcano Bay. But I'm perfectly fine with the lovely park that's currently there.

So, what's the buzz/chatter like today at VB?
I'm not into social media so I was wondering how things were going today versus yesterday?

Still busy.

Still has some kinks they need to kink out.

How neat! I really was kind of hoping for this also, maybe one day one of our Orlando parks will build something like this. Hopefully the yet to open river will showcase a bit of this.

Based on a short video posted on Universals official twitter it seems like the other lazy river is up and running!

After finally making it through all these comments :look: these are my thoughts:

I think the park as a fun day out looks fantastic. If I've managed to have a great time at Wet n Wild in all it's bareness, I have zero doubt that I will have an even better time here with all the thrills of Wet n Wild and the higher end theming.

I'm slightly disappointed that it's not complete but honestly, I don't really care as I'm not going to be there until next year at the earliest. The problem with theming a park on this scale is that the last 10% of it is the hardest. Sure, we all know that this is a park between CBBR and the I4 but seeing exposed steel, scaffolding and lifts take you out of that world away that they've tried to create. I have no doubt that in a few weeks or months, everything will be where Universal wants it to be.

I think I'm going to bail out of this thread as it's been 10 pages of the same old thing and I think for the most part, I've seen everything that I need to see until I take my first steps inside the park.

It's been a fun couple of years watching this park rise from nothing.
