I don't know if anyone has posted about this yet, but Volcano Bay is now added to the 'Resort Wide Map' on UO's website. Fast and Furious also confirmed for 2018 on it:

That's already been discussed.

Also, it seems that the unknown water coaster will start and end at that station platform.

Judging from this pic and the way the water jets appear to be facing, looks like this slide will be taking you away from the volcano not towards it, correct?

Later pictures show another section mounted on the footers next to the piece shown. Manlift is over the next footers. I do think this is the outbound track though. Closer pics show one with a recess under the track and I think that is the conveyor guide.

I think that is probably leading to the element just to the left of the volcano on the park map. It goes up a large hill turns around a tower and comes back down.

Also, Proslide doesn't use water jets on their water coasters. They use LIM technology which is what causes their water coasters to be faster. I personally prefer the true water jet water coasters but this should be thrilling non the less.

I cannot tell what is going on now. It's all sexy regardless...

They use both.

From that video, looks like they are finally adding the extra level onto the old Cabana Bay garage.

Look at the electric conduit in the foreground of the third picture. The main electric/control room?

I think that's the electrical going up through the decks of the new CB tower under construction.

They started using water jets last year and I have to say: the result is quite good! I rode Tsunami (the first RocketBLAST/FlyingSAUCER hybrid in North America) a week and a half ago and it is awesome. You have a ton of power on the uphill segments and since the water jets are pointed at the side of the boats in special pockets, you don't wedgies and no vibrations on the back. The boats are also very comfortable.

probably a late question but am I the only one who thinks the volcano looks deformed
