Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[knightlock]

Maybe each ride will have a corresponding symbol on TapuTapu to help remember the names, like in the video shows for Krakatau.

Just an FYI - when sharing pics, make sure to not grab all pictures from someone's update and post it here. Posting a couple is fine (and of course, crediting/linking), but there is a reason they have all their images on their website.

Does grabbing images from twitter count?

How long before Uni posts a GoPro POV video from one of the slides to really throw us over the edge. 6 weeks maybe ?

I can bet you $100 that they will soon be selling "Your very own TapuTapu" where you personalize it and keep it for $20+. It'll be just like magic bands very soon

I have no doubt.

What about the tickets? Has there been a discussion about that yet? The website has a link for 3 park tickets, but I don't see them when you click. And what about annual passes, which ones will include VB, etc.

Still no word yet.

Orlando Informer says you can purchase one day tickets direct from them (and other travel agents) only: 5 top Volcano Bay questions (and our best answers)

I'm hoping they offer an add-on to APs so I can keep mine and just pay a little extra.

Looking at the latest aerial pictures, I've given up hope of any sort of general softs before May 25th (i return to the UK on May 20th). Still such a fascinating construction site, but to see this thing being fully operational in 15 weeks, I can't quite fathom at the moment.

Interesting info in this, mostly stuff we've been discussing already, but still interesting stuff.

I like the idea that Universal can send out messages to everyone's TapuTapu in the park. They can use it to advertise to us, but also send out found/missing children reports and more.

He's pronouncing it wrong, it's tap-u tap-yoo

Update- I was able to find Volcano Bay tickets on the website. The catch is that you have to purchase a 4 or 5 day park to park ticket at $300+. The 4 and 5 day tickets, there is a choice of 3-park tickets. But 3 day and lower, only 2-park tickets.

Hmm, that's odd. A 3 park, 2 day, park-to-park ticket is shown on the app, but not on the tickets2.universalorlando.com site.

Yea I see it on the app, if you uncheck Florida resident. Still $275 for 2 days, lol. Might be smarter to wait and see if we get an option to add on to annual passes.

Not sure if this has been said or not I'm way behind on everything. Saw on their mobile website that annual passes are listed as 2 park annual passes for all levels of passes now.

Oh no don't tell me we're going to have 2-park annual passes and then a whole other set of 3-park annual passes.

That does not look like a good value proposition from my perspective.
