Volcano Bay: General Discussion

[Alicia]

Haha. I love me some Food Network Star. I can spot them a mile away.

It was s great first episode. And was cool seeing the waterfront in front of JP Discovery Center get used for something!

Went to volcano bay for the 1st time this week on Wednesday. It was amazing!! Taputapu works great. Rides are stunning, food is steep, but had an absolutely wonderful 1st visit. Best waterpark in orlando!

And To add to that I only had one honest complaint and that was that it was sooo hot and the water was just not cool at all. It may have been the amount of people but I believe I've been in other waterparks with cooler water with the same crowds. It just wasn't as refreshing as it could be.

That is all.

Well if that's the reason it should be axed until mid September at least.

Nah. I really liked it when it was cold. I’m disappointed at the change.

It obviously wasn't what the majority of guests (and many of forum members) were expecting though. I suspect they did surveys and they got negative feedback on the cold water.

Over the winter Universal promoted the wave pool as being warm from the volcano. But perhaps it needs to be slightly less warm in the summer.

Aquatica heats their wave pool too. It’s always a shock when you go from the heated wave pool to the unheated kids area.

When I went during the winter to VB all the water was heated, not just the wave pool.

I went last October and the wave pool was freezing for me. It was way too cold to go in. Im sure in the summer that temperature is fine though.

Driving to Disney in my RV in August and camping there for the first time. Doing Destin a couple days, Boardwalk, a week at campground then 3 nights at Royal Pacific.
What am I most excited for? My 3rd trip to VB. it’s that awesome. I agree @devinp267

I think I need to organise a stay at Cabana Bay and try out VB, next year perhaps...

That's a bit of a relief. I always thought it was from the kids peeing in it! :bolt:

I am glad you enjoyed the park! My family has had good times there and I find the park really beautiful as well.

but, I was being serious in that, for our first visit, the wave pool was very refreshing....the 2nd time we visited, the wave pool felt like a heated pool.

I was at the park today. Over by the expansion plot I noticed 3 very large concrete rectangles staged over there as well as a fence that curved halfway through the area. Not sure what that was about. Anyone have info?

Welp, looks like Bio needs to get in the air again.
