Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[Brian G.]

Remember that whole discussion 2-3 weeks ago about being "Cute" ....

Some are treading those lines right now. Knock it off.

Just a few more days, Then everything will be known for certain. Patience time.

I didn't realize the VB stuff's on the store. It hasn't yet replaced Fallon on the main page, but there's 30 items for sale online already.

I think I'll start simple with a Tervis:

I really hope Universal surprises me and actually does a night time show... but I still truly think it's just going to be random eruption events throughout the evening, more like tree of life awakenings or something.

Yes, that's my understanding. Something cool to look at while enjoying dinner, or swimming, but not a "show" per se.

I don't know if I've spent too much time watching the development of this park or it's actually good but I really want to buy something here and I've never had that for generic merchandise before.

That 6 second is not even close to full nighttime show.

Correct, a 6 second clip on instragram is in fact not a full video of a night time show.

I think both can be true. For logo merch these items are very pleasant looking. And of course we have an emotional investment in this project from following it. I really like the aesthetic they're going for with the VB merch, as well as the decor in the park. All of it is a home run to me.

Yes, my guess too. Attendance at a water theme park in the evening is just too small for a Disney level night time like show....But it's sure about time Universal stepped up their game at IOA or the Studios with a Disney level night show. They have enough on site hotel guests now to pack a park in the evening for a real good night show. That's the main area in which Disney far outshines Universal. Universal is not even in the ball park.

Totally... I mean a 13 year old firework show blew away anything they offer or have offered... now the brand new show is like 3 million light years ahead... time to retire Cinematic Spectacular and create a real good show! They have a wonderful lagoon at IOA... why the heck do the parks close so early?!?

Yep, that is why I posted and linked one as an example. They popped those up before the park is even open! Happy times...

I would think it is a work in progress, get the park open then work on the rest. Think of Toothsome

 

[darkridelover]

Would someone point me in the direction of this eruption video. I can't find it.

You must be really plain and basic then. I saw some pictures and I thought it was an added graphic to the picture.

I mean, for a toll booth, it looks fine. Really don't see the point in complaining about it, but hey, that's just me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
