Doesn't look much bigger than typhoon lagoon's waves.. but then I suppose if the pool isn't designed for it it could lead to injuries.

If this happened in the VB wave pool what would be worse, the giant wave or being immersed in the ice cold water :lol:

Interesting that OUC is part of it. It leads me to believe this was their fault.

Sentinel requested info about the recent electrical problem at Volcano Bay, but the Utilities Commision forwarded the request to head of Uni legal (cause of some rule that they have to notified first in case there is "protected" information), and Uni blocked the 2 requests the paper made. Meaning Uni doesn't want anyone to know how or why their safety protocols failed causing the water to become electrified enough to affect the guests.

Or it could mean that something in those reports is IP owned by Universal or a contractor. I’m sure we’ll see a slightly redacted version later.

I don't get scared at really anything. But this quote, in particular, is kind of terrifying.

"The most dangerous outcomes could have been electrocution or muscle paralysis, incapacitating swimmers in a condition known as Electric Shock Drowning, they said."

Could you imagine?

What are wait times and attendance looking like right now at the park?

Thinking of heading there Friday afternoon. Usually do rope drop and head out after it starts getting a little busier, so this will be our first "morning" attempt.

I was there last Saturday and wait times on mostly everything was no more than 30 minutes, at least until 1:00pm or so when we left for our hotel to get ready for HHN.

Can't imagine it being any more busier come this Friday.

I agree with @ssirin88. Crowds have gradually been getting smaller, and I'm not seeing very high wait times.

Also, team members are no longer blocked out as of 9/4, if that says anything about crowds. ;)

I wonder if the temps have played a part. Ok when in the water but too hot just to hang?

So I'm thinking of buying a Wetsuit for Volcano Bay. Do they allow them in the park or water parks in general?
