Is that a torrent river wave creator I see in the first photo of the second tweet? AKA lazy river with a wave machine? The size of walls they are building also implies the waves as well. I hope so, those are really fun rivers and are not very 'lazy'.
It does look that way but it's hard for me to determine how tall the walls are from the perspective. They look to be the same height as the rest of the rivers back wall. Once more is built you'll be able to tell. That building will definitely be adding water to the river most likely creating waves if done in burst like other wave creators.Is that a torrent river wave creator I see in the first photo of the second tweet?

It won't be the only water park with two lazy rivers in Orlando. Aquatica has two, one is very fast-paced and the other is relaxing and slow.As someone who freaking loves a good lazy river, watching this one form is a thing of beauty. And if we're getting 2 in the same park? This may be my favorite place in Orlando.
True, but they will be small in comparison to the length of Volcano Bay's I believe.It won't be the only water park with two lazy rivers in Orlando. Aquatica has two, one is very fast-paced and the other is relaxing and slow.
VB's will both be about 1/4 of a mile or 1500', I kinda sorta think. How long are other rivers?

I know. I've been there. Aquatica overall doesn't do anything for me though, and I'm hoping Uni's rivers have better/more theming
Out of curiosity, what do you think put you off Aquatica? I left completely underwhelemed and I've never been back but everybody I've spoke to loved it and I can't think of a single reason why I didn't.
I think it was the theming, for me. It felt just kind of barren. It's definitely not a bad park in any sense, but if I'm going to a water park it's going to be one of Disney's (or VB once it opens).
My main beef with Aquatica is the life jacket requirement. A lot of rides and places require a life jacket for 48" and under. When my daughter was going thru ISR swim lessons we couldn't go because you are not allowed to use flotation devices while doing lessons. Even after lessons they don't want you using flotation devices for long periods of time. So now my daughter really dislikes wearing a life jacket since she really never wore any kind of flotation device. We are going to try again this summer and try a puddle jumper and hope and pray she still fits in it. They say they don't except them, but I have been told by multiple families they do because legally they are a life preserver.
I wish they had a small pool that they did swim tests and if your child can swim across the pool you get a band that says you don't need a life preserver. I am REALLY hoping Uni doesn't follow Aquatica's lead and do what Disney does, which it is parent's choice.
We ran into the same thing at Aquatica a few years back when our oldest was younger, even playing in the splash castle thing they required it and at that point she wasn't having it all wearing it and just made for a rough day. Ended up playing in the sand and edge of the wave pool most of that day. As for VB id assume they would have the same rules that W&W does now for the kids and life jackets, which I have no idea what that is lol

WnW requires all children 48" and under to wear a life jacket for 3 areas: wave pool, lazy river, and the Mach 5 roped-off area. Not for Blastaway Beach, the kiddie pool area.
Mah gawd...that logo is amazing.
