Volcano Bay: General Discussion

[anihilnation]

The TapuTapu now alerts you when a storm is approaching and the attractions are closed.

What happens to your reservation when a storm closes the attractions, or even when an attraction goes down for technical?

So it seems the only area they seem to be really working on that's clearly evident is the Volcano stairs, Vol's area, and the last set of cabanas.

Thanks for the update Brian.

I'm curious what their To-do list looks like. Example- we weren't expecting the frog eyes, yet they just added those- they keep adding more things to the toppers of restaurants, etc.

More fog effects, better stargazer tavern, adding the frogs on bridge back (that won't break), adding more plants and small detail work- these are the things that will make the difference here. And I hope that list is a long one.

What does it look like for the stairs? Just general construction equipment around or can you tell what they're working on?

Also - someone posted (maybe you?) that they put a black tarp to hide the steel from the lazy river, is that still in place?

Geez!

The testing of the eruption of the volcano went wrong and this is what happened.

When I went Friday you could see ladders and lots of wiring/ tool boxes on the volcano Itself as you walked up the stairs.

Everything goes on pause essentially. It'll be back once all clear is given.

There are ladders and areas where you can see where water features will be going.

The black tarp (I didn't share that) was a black netting, and that's been there for a while. Still see the underbelly.

Also, wave pool was warm, and they are finishing painting the pool area sides.

Any indication if they will be adding some bamboo, faux paint, etc on the concrete sidewalls of the wave pool?

Curiosity question - How do they keep a wave pool of that size warm? Do they use gas or electric heaters?

[Mr. EPCOT]

You vs. the concept art she told you not to worry about.

Thanks, @Brian G.

Is the fearless river running fast again?

Yes

They are painting the sidewalls dark gray with tiles. It actually matches the concept art.

I picture an expansion within a year

Didn't they say " it could start in three weeks"?

 

[Cheezbat]

Didn't they say " it could start in three weeks"?

So...start this Thursday?

I hope so....

I'd hope they finish the park they already have before moving on

There are kids in Africa that don't have a water park you know


In all seriousness though, I would have all hands on deck until everything is complete with VB, then begin on a new expansion for next spring..
