Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[Frank Drackman]

Few Photos I found this morning whilst scanning through twitter, nothing really new though other than a nice amount of rock work being sprayed in concrete. I love how small I thought those blue slide pieces were until this picture showing those tiny workers in the lazy/rapid river below! My perception of scale from all of these photos is always way off until I am reminded with a photo of someone stood next to something:

I'm with you on this potentially being the opening for the lazy/rapid river and maybe the tower block being a wave generator if it is rapids, my previous post below lines up with identifying that area as a potential opening for a river. Sure hope it is.

Ah! It was you, @Dan B , not Teebin.

Sorry! Great initial spot.

I spent about a good minute trying to find a tiny worker next to one of the windows.

This gave me a flashback to the neighborhood of Make-Believe from Mr. Roger's neighborhood.

I still say the words, "Meow meow King Friday" occationally, albeit not for such noble reasons.

They actually have a tremendous children's attraction themed to Mr. Roger's show here at Idlewild Park in Ligonier, Pa, about 30 minutes from me. All of the characters are there, except for the great Fred Rogers of course, who passed away a number of years ago. I met him on a few occasions and he was one of the finest people you would ever want to meet. He was decades ahead of American society in valuing the worth of all people. There was no hate in that man.

Yes, I saw that. That's a really small coaster.

Don't know if this is news but the UO App has just been updated with the park map for Volcano Bay.

Just looked on my app and there it was. No info, just pictured on the map.

Thanks for the heads up. :thumbsup:

Wow, yeah. I do believe that is brand new. I think it is the first officially released art that includes the water coaster.

And I might be wrong, but based on this new park map, it would appear that the water coaster track weaves back and forth through the rock work of the volcano multiple times, if it is the green section of slide on the back half of the volcano.

I'm finding it a little odd that they've included the towers for Cabana Bay.

Why is that? We have heard the towers will be done in March, around the same time CB will be completed.

I think it's a little confusing to people who don't know otherwise. If they're at Cabana Bay and wondering where the towers are, they might think they're at the wrong hotel. I'd have put a coming soon sign or something over Volcano Bay as well.

A "coming soon" label would make good sense.

I always had the perception that one of the lazy rivers was larger and wrapped around the volcano and the pool for some reason, I was wondering why it wasn't appearing in the construction photos! In relation to the map above, does anyone know which one will be the more thrilling lazy river?

Interesting, if you choose Volcano Bay from the menu it only shows up as a marker:
