Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

That bus is going to smell great.

They surely wouldn't use a fabric on the bus seats? I'm kind of hoping it's not a hard plastic either after a recent embarrassing situation in a steam room in Paris. I was lying down myself and the room got busier and busier so being the nice guy I am, I slide up the seat but my back fat created a vacuum resulting in a huge fart noise in front of 10 people, none of whom spoke English.

Was the fart noise in English or Scottish?

It's an escalator..... They're not going to put an elevator there cause it will jam up with the amount of traffic there. All wheelchairs and strollers will use the winding path. How confident am I it's a escalator? If it's not I'll do that giant drops life. Soooooooo yeah, you see where I'm going with this? Lol think logistics people.

Is there any reason to suspect there's even an escalator there? It's not like it's a huge change in elevation, and stairs would suffice just fine. An escalator just seems so unnecessary.

 

[GAcoaster]

I see it being just a ramp up and down. The grade change is minimal. This will be a lot like the underpass at BGT.

 

[epcyclopedia]

Yeah - increased likelihood of wearing flip flops or bare feet and an escalator seems like an accident waiting to happen.

It was definitely Scottish, make no mistake about it.

Excellent point.

 

[Joel]

It's a change in elevation of one floor, the same height an escalator is used for in the parking garages.

Maybe it'll be a conveyer belt-type escalator, like HM at Disneyland.

Lol, who knows.

I'd imagine it would be more like the exit from Space Mountain with the bouncy rubber flooring but I think @epcyclopedia is bang on the money with how much of a liability any type of escalator would be. It would be slippery and those metal ends are giving me the fear just thinking about it.

Ah, yes! I totally forgot about SM! Also, at any water park, how do your feet not burn to death? Hopefully VB won't have this problem because of the foliage, but other water parks are just pure concrete. (Sorry, I haven't been to a water park in years.)

The area I'm most worried about in VB is the stairs leading up the volcano which appear to be made from wood but hopefully the volcano will provide enough shadow and have enough spray from the waterfall.

Is VB convincing you to go to a water park?

[Scott W.]

Looking incredible.

 

[12th Man]

:drool: Wow, just wow!

Haven't really thought of that, but nah, not really. I've gotten quite accustom to "nice stuff" from going to Disney and Universal, so it'd probably be a let down. Lol.

Are these faces? :shock:

And loving this directional sign!

Edit: So it IS an escalator!!! The only question is... what kind.

Well **** me

Keep your shoes on until you're in the park

Looks pretty standard but what is the building? Looks like the door will be on the side away from the escalator so still an elevator?

This is the first time I have seen pictures of them applying sealant to the drop basins of the waterfalls. As I recall, it is something kinda like that rubber spray junk they are selling on TV. The one where they seal the bottom of a boat etc. That gets concrete themed over so it won't appear black like that otherwise it is just painted basic rock color to match surrounding.
