WaterWorld Refurbishment

[Jon Fu]

From Universal's official website:

WaterWorld will be closed from January 14th through February 8th

 
Bad time to visit the park.

....are you serious? So for this month, welcome to Universal Construction Walls Hollywood. Horrible timing. Waterworld couldn't wait for a refurn till later?

 

[Allen The Actor]

Do you think USH will charge less for tickets or maybe offer a rain check ticket?

 

[Miss Betty Juice]

USH will not change ticket prices. It is the off season, only passholders visit this time of year. Waterworld has refurb at this time of year every year, construction or no construction.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Eh, you're right. Just horrible timing for any tourists who drop by

 

[UniversalFan]

Great! I am visiting the park on the 21st, this give me time to do some updates!

True. I remember Universal doing this a few years back when I went to the park during this season.

But again, I do feel bad to those who are paying full admission. Regardless of how many pass holders are at the park, there must be a few who have purchased full-day tickets here and there. Just think: Terminator, Coke Soak and WaterWorld - all down. Plus the absence of Mel's and the construction walls bordering Baker Street.

We are hearing that Waterworld may reopen early this Saturday, February 2.

 

[Miss Betty Juice]

That would make my week! I miss those guys.

Really? I don't think this is going to happen. They tend to stay on schedule most of the time.

 

[Miss Betty Juice]

I'll ask and get back to you.

 

[Miss Betty Juice]

Confirmed - Waterworld is back this Saturday, a week ahead of schedule.

 

[Jon Fu]

I wonder if this quick turnaround time is due to the recent major renovations to the venue last year.

 

[Chris]

Confirmed, Waterworld has reopened as of Friday, February 1 with a 3:45 performance.

Gatling gun seems to be offline again. It's a minor effect, but it makes a world's of a difference during the introduction of the entire show.

Is it a complicated prop to maintain? Seems to be, since it was off across both my visits this week.

Which Gatling gun, the one in the boat or the one that just happens to be on the dock?

Either way there both are gas/electric so I am sure there a maintenance nightmare.

Boat. I'm wondering if they have a backup plan, but I'm guessing not.
