Volcano Bay: General Discussion

[shiekra38]

I am curious as to how well VB is going to hold up during Irma. Those vinyl roofs and all that freshly planted landscaping could be a mess.

I'm more worried about HHN being affected, but it could be bad news for some of the roofs/trees/etc

We will see Cat 3 or stronger winds no matter where it goes. The Halloween decorations are going to be wrecked. There will be uprooted trees in the parks.

Volcano bay could be affected hard by this, how long do you guys think it will be remain closed after Sunday?

2-5 days. They will throw everything but the kitchen sink at it with landscaping standing up palms and maintenance fluffing up anything that is broken.

I'm betting on next Friday. I'm thinking every pool and river will have to be drained an cleaned at least. If it was dead of Summer there would be more of a rush, but as it seems to have been slightly slower, I think the weekend will be the push.

Steel is steel so i would think that there is a lot at VB that should fair well, I'm not sure those roofs are as week as they are made to appear like, but yes, the vinyl covers can tear easily, but they may be stronger than we think.

The vegetation at all the parks though...lots of big canopies which is really bad for blocking strong winds....the winds tend to win...

I'm going to VB right now. I might be the last guest to see Volcano bay in its current state...

Reminds me of the Vincent Price classic, "Last Man on Earth" (or I think that was it's title).....

First I have ever seen of this faux bamboo treatment. I guess I was hoping for something like it on the stairs and supports inside the volcano.

Seriously, if they did that you'd never hear me complain again

I see this the other day and also wondered when that happened, this is exactly what they need around all of the exposed steel such as stair supports etc, it would look fantastic.

Couple of videos below of VB trees getting a good thrashing, most of them still have supports around from what I have seen so hopefully that helps them stay upright. Vinyl covers seem to be intact.

We need a VB hurricane photo report this morning.

It wont be long before bioreconstruct ends up there as soon as it is open.

That's what I am hoping!

Here we go! I'm really surprised that more didn't go down.

Pleased to see most of the palms staying up, I was expecting the worst and loads of them flattened.

Thank goodness for Bio no matter how odd and enigmatic he is.

I can only hope to capture this majestic best in the theme park wilds one day.
