Wow I am guessing they are planting trees to diffuse the noise?

Yeah, and the nearest homes will have a lovely view of Wall'O'cano.

If their kids misbehave, they can use them as an offering to the great Volcano gods.:faint:

You redditor, you.

Wonder what a seizure in a water slide would be like?

 

[Dancapt]

Not a lot of fun for the lifeguards. Getting someone out of the water when they are having a seizure is not the easiest thing to do.

So, with Wet 'n Wild closing Dec 31. 2106, would it be wise to assume that Universal would be looking at very latest an opening for Spring (Easter-ish) 2017?

I've been assuming we could see Softs around March so... maybe.

Random stab here, water park is an upgrade option to the current ticket options. Stand alone ticket on par with WDW one day ticket to TL/BB, so around $60.

This makes sense. I think it's around $50 to add Aquatica or Adventure Island to a SW/BG AP.

If Volcano Bay is as good as they say it will be, I'd easily drop $60 on entry there.
Hopefully an annual pass to the park wouldn't cost more than about $100 though.

Yeah, the Florida resident AP will probably be under $100 and non resident $135 or something like that.

Hoping we can tack it on to the Annual Pass we have now

I would imagine I-4 will drown out a lot.....they're probably people who are not too bothered by noise if they purchased so close to the busy interstate. Also knowing Universal land is just across the road, they must have realised that it was always likely something could be built there.

Good point, I didn't think about the I-4, thats never bothered my myself when staying on I-Drive overlooking the I-4

I'm very confused why is universal Orlando calling volcano bay its third park officially? I thought the third gate is a whole other seperate plan for UO. Explain to me please what's going on its pretty hard to figure out. Is universal just going to buy up more and more land for a third theme park?

It is a marketing and hype ploy. It is all a bunch of foolishness. It will be a grand great water park, and that is all.

 

[NostalgiaExtreme7498]

So the third park for universal Orlando is far far away from now?
