Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[Scott W.]

Given the height, I can't see only stairs being an option. Do any of the rides in the volcano require any kind of raft or mat to ride?

I was thinking the same thing. Why would there be a raft lift when there was no raft ride? However now we have this apparent magnetic ride which was not part of the volcano plan back "then". So... I am at a complete loss.

I would like to see something like this:



I mean it's almost completely unfit for purpose in terms of speed and capacity but it's something beyond a boring elevator.

I don't know what the rules are for disability access in water parks in the US to guests the ability to ride the taller rides.

that drop !

In a word, no. LOL

 

[Teebin]

^ That's an attraction? In what country?

Call it wishful thinking, but I wouldn't be surprised- with the layout of the lazy river and all- if you could take your lazy river raft to every attraction and simply ride it up on a belt. Maybe just for the tube rides, but possible the body slides as well. Of course, you'd need a way to get those tubes down as well- but what an amazing "queue" that would be for every slide- simply stay in your tube, ride a ride, grab another tube floating by.

I would add to that and would feel it would be a great idea if the lazy river would have "float troughs" at pool-bars to add some beer to your experience.

that drop !

Holy mother of god . . . :stun::stun::stun::stun::stun::stun::shock::shock::shock:

 

[anihilnation]

that drop !

Now I am excited!

 

[Disneyhead]

UOR has a new weenie!

 

[Teebin]

^ Was that taken from the main garages?

Yup. Top floor.

How high do you think that drop will be from? It looks like one of the most intense body slides I've ever seen.

 

[Scott W.]

I think it's going to be at least 130ft. The volcano is 200ft tall and we're only looking at the skeleton at the top just now.

Wait that's actually going to be a slide? I thought your response to the tweet was "No" as in he's incorrect. If that's real I'm very pumped now! :clap:

That's a slide.

And a whole big bag of nope.

Unless there's a bar. Then all bets are off.

Just another picture from Biroeconstruct of that drop....:drool:

Keeping in mind that the visible part of the slide here will be clear.

that drop !

How sure are we that that's not a construction garbage chute? The way it shrinks and expands doesn't look it's good for the human body.
