Definitely. When it first opened there were only a couple red spots of light, now there's tons of reds, purples and blues. Gorgeous.

Do we think we will ever get the amazing nighttime eruption scene? i know its just a scene rather than a show, but i think alot of us expected lava erupting (which we have) but also the water down the side of the volcano to turn red and for the LED's embedded into the wave pool to glow red and turn the pool red to a point?

I have a funny feeling the LED's in the bottom of the wave pool are in place, but not working, and never will be unless the pool is drained, dug into and resurfaced?

I'm still hopeful for this.

My theory is they wnt to iron out all the other issues before going live with it, huge shame if not, guess time will tell.

Not at all what they promised in concept art but I guess cheap and colorful lighting will do the trick...

Outside of the size, what is missing that was promised?

That's lovely, can't wait to see the whole waterfall lit up.

Also, what's with that sound when he zooms out from the eruption??

Oh of course, I was just trying to find some positive for a change. I've been pretty hard on volcano bay, and it does look pretty. Not what was promised, but pretty.

It would be nice if we could find out what the new capacity numbers are, and what the old capacity numbers were.....But, bottom line, it doesn't seem like those bad reviews on the net are keeping significant numbers people away from the park. It probably just shows, like with the movies, people don't really care what the critics say. They make up their own minds.....Not to justify, though, that construction delays created issues.

I'd love to know the new capacity numbers too, and what the wait is around peak hour of the top rides when it's at this capacity.

POTC5, Transformers 5, and The Mummy beg to differ.

PotC will be making a $250m profit
TF 5 is on the fifth installment of a critically savaged series and is still poised to make money.
Mummy is the only real outlier.

So this was open today....was pretty awesome. I wasn't able to get an irl photo cause I didn't bring my phone in. There's also dancing light up fountains to play in at the top of a ramp right beside this. The caves alone seem like there's gonna be a lot to do in them once they're done.

I think this is going to be one of those areas that will be nice and pretty in person but will never photograph well.
