Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

A question for those who do water parks- can you wear glasses on the dropslides?

No. And baggy board shorts are...not recommended.

Last one I rode made me hold my glasses in my hand. And the cross my arms over my chest.

I'm thinking about wearing contacts when I go

 

[rcoasterdude]

Usually when I go to water parks, I just put my glasses in my pocket on a body slide but if it's a type slide I usually keep them on. Especially tame ones

I wouldn't recommend unless you're prepare to not get you eyes wet.

 

[Mad Dog]

I've never had problems wearing my gas permeable, & before that, hard contacts, on water rides in water parks. Been doing it for 25 years or so. Never lost one on a water ride yet, or had any issues.

Am I right in thinking there will be 5 4-person or more raft slides in the park including the water coaster?

I'm most intrigued by the fast rapid river. I've not read much about it... Roas Rapids at Aquatica is up there with Typhoons wave pool as absolute highlights in Orlando.

The blue and green slides near CBBR have 5 people.





I'm sure the yellow and green slides on the other side of the park have the same set up.

 

[Scott W.]

Has anything else been said about a possible entrance from CBBR?

 

[rcoasterdude]

Wait couldn't you just park at Cabana Bay and walk over to Volcano Bay? Or do you have to have like a Parkin ticket. Cause if you can that saves you money on parking

There is a small temporary lot anyway..better to just park in the main one..

That's actually a good point. $12 v the $20.

Unless Universal won't charge for parking for VB by making you drive through a separate gate and block that area of the car park off but I can't see that.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Cabana Bay parking is going to be very tight once this opens. I expect them to operate the current way with visitor parking being limited to a couple of hoursz

I think daily parking at CBBR is the same as the garages. I would hate to be running CBBR parking when this thing opens.

 

[Mad Dog]

CBBR parking is tight on weekends. My guess is that they will do something to prevent non CBBR guests from parking there.

Do we know if the onsite hotels will have regular shuttle service direct to Volcano Bay?

That is the rumor and the reason for the vehicle roundabout at the gate.

 

[Nico]

In the lower left of this pic it looks like there are foundations for more volcano supports. I'm really thinking they will still be building this place in June.

Based on the walkway design and what appears to to be additional footers, do we think this group of slides are going to be covered by additional volcano?

 

[Dan B]

i may be late on this so i apologize
are these stairs permanent?

It's certainly not for construction as they would have just the scaffolding. They don't seem to lead any where though although it does seem to end on a platform.

Here's the enlarged image:

If I was to venture a guess, I'd say this is the platform for the slide with the drop at the end.

Scott, you have been here a while and seen every update going, come on now you know these stairs are not to an individual drop slide . For reference @twebber55 yes the stairs are permanent and they are leading up to the pair of drop slides that are in the centre of the volcano, the platform will connect to the other side of the volcano to the other platform creating a bridge, see image below however the rock on the right of the image is blocking the view of the stairs. If you also skip to 1:14 in the video below you will see what I am talking about int he video.
