Volcano Bay: General Discussion

[UAN17]

Well I'm glad the product I saw in late May isn't 'it' but I think they need to continue to enhance so that it can get somewhere close to the levels set by Disney....but pleasing that enhancements are continuing.

I hope that's not Vol lmao.

Pretty sure when this is done this will be Vol

That pic is of the projection. That is indeed Vol.

 

[LJGonz]

AMAZING!
Edit: Universal never disappoints.

The projection looks similar in style and quality to what was used on Cobras Curse. I do like orange lighting and steam effects in the Volcano...that's done well. I don't think the multi coloured lighting is really required...more orange/foreboding Volcano-ness would be better.

Looks really cute and fun. More of this is starting to live up to the promises.

I keep seeing "light tracks" at the top of the tubes of Krakatau, has anyone filmed yet on the ride at night with those working (if they do yet) ? Would love to see it..

 

[Mad Dog]

Those effects are soooo cool. :shades: Now, that's the kind of stuff I was expecting.:thumbsup:...Almost an unintended consequence of the construction screw up (whatever vendor was responsible, sounds like Nassal though) is that people will have to keep coming back to the park to experience new stuff as it debuts. Just like new weekly park expansions. .....Almost genius, in a perverse , backward way.

Also keep in mind there is more of this to come, there is still another path in the volcano not yet opened.

So is the projection in front of the water fountains confirmed to be Vol?

The video above is Vol, he's a great surprise to stumble onto while trekking through the park. The whole path is pretty great looking, especially the Volcanic "smoke" seeping through the area. It's not a projection though.

Testing last eve with "larger dimensions TMs" on Kala and Tai Nui. As well as another attraction. Possibly Punga Racers? Has that been an issue also?

I can confirm this has been happening.

Yes- the two outside slides at Punga was kids only- no adults- but I don't believe they have a scale at Punga.

 

[MattA]

It is confirmed to be Vol. also didn't realize Vol was a girl XD

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Really...?

My friend rode it and he said it was pretty intense. There's jets at the top that push you away from the tube so you're pretty much in a free fall. He also said water gets in every hole on your face lol. I've been told it's more intense than summit plummet so I will not be riding that one

It surpasses Disney's trees and rocks theming of Typhoon Lagoon already for me. There's twice as many details in this park already as Typhoon Lagoon. Seriously, do them both in the same week and you'll see what I mean.
