I think the next top pass should have unlimited VB and HHNs (non-peak) admission.

Of course, it would have a health price increase over the current one.

And it will be a good way to get people like me who are stuck on the same low monthly payment to finally pay more for a new pass.

It's a water park. They typically aren't tough builds, even themed ones.

how long do you think it would take disney to build a volcano bay nowadays? your missing the point...

I get your point, but you are comparing two completely different things. Pandora is a huge architectural feat. The land is also almost complete and has been 2.5 years. It'll be slightly over 3 years by the time it opens. Diagon is a much better comparison as that land took 2.5 years.

I have never been to either of Disney's water parks. It is a pleasure watching this one be built. I love the fact that I will able to see this finely themed water park every time I visit, especially the volcano lit up at night.

More of the Blue slide pieces starting to be installed, seriously can't wait to see this thing go up!

There is a tower! See, they have been on this for some time! Fun stuff!

Hi there,
I'm brand new to OU forums but just thought I'd let you know something, not sure if its been mentioned already :shrug:
You can now purchase Universal's 3 Park Explorer ticket which includes VB from here if you live in the UK. :clap:

Welcome! The British Invasion continues!

That's quite interesting. That's an extra £42 compared to the current 3 park ticket including Wet n Wild.

Hey! I'm from Edinburgh :jaw:

Really seems like they're trying to sell VB as a theme park and less of a water park. I can hear the sound of confused tourists already :bonk:

 

[NJBrandon]

For those wondering, that's approximately $278 pre-tax. Current price of a 3 park unlimited ticket is $254 tax inclusive on Undercover Tourist. So a decent jump on that.

As long as they're civil. No rude fighting allowed.

Looking at the latest pictures, I would say that this park may have the best lineup of waterslides in Orlando. Though I've never been to WnW or Aquatica.

 

[Journey_On]

@MillenniumDragons, I agree. If it has at least the level of thrills as WnW, I think that would be nice. WnW has the most thrilling rides of all the waterparks here, overall.
