At $105/day, I would expect sunscreen dispensers in all the bathrooms and possibly free refills on soda all day.
I strongly agree. When we were doing our long Universal vacations on site 6 years ago, we rarely ran into anyone staying long like us. Now, we are constantly talking with other tourists who stay on site for quite a few days. And, it appears that the onsite hotels have really high occupancy, per Comcast press announcements, and the scarcity of available rooms whenever I search for vacations far in advance. I used to be able to book good rooms (and that was with only three hotels on site) a couple of weeks before leaving. Now I have to book 6 months ahead to get a decent priced standard room. Looks like the plan is working.From what I'm seeing, it's looking like they really are trying to leverage this park to make people stay on Universal property longer and spend less money at WDW.
Pretty much an extension of what Uni has been doing for years ever since Comcast took over.
And personal massages from real cute life guards. Choice of your life style, of course.At $105/day, I would expect sunscreen dispensers in all the bathrooms and possibly free refills on soda all day.
Yeah. It's kind of like the lazy river at Cabana. By requiring you to bring or buy your own flotation device it keeps the crowds down. CBBR was actually the first lazy river I could relax in and enjoy since it wasn't crazy crowded.....Hopefully Universal will be able to get a comfortable compromise on VB, moderately affordable price packages and keeping the hordes of dumped teenagers from over crowding the park. I don't think we'll see any $50 season passes in this park. They don't want another Wet & Wild of large, young local teenage dominated, crowds that don't spend much money.I think it's great Universal tries to not make their waterpark a kiddy or teenage dumping ground for lazy local parents.
When you want to enjoy Universal's resort investing in that ticket is a no brainer.
When the crowd dies down there will be more affordable ways to enter I guess.
I stand corrected, looks like the 3-Park Unlimited is gone now. But I think someone in this thread said a while back that they bought an equivalent ticket in the UK for next year, so I imagine there's a replacement coming.
And for half that price you can get those exact things...at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari in Indiana. (Man I love that park!)At $105/day, I would expect sunscreen dispensers in all the bathrooms and possibly free refills on soda all day.
So looks like this maybe the Volcano bay TapuTapu wrist band system? Seems to sound like it.

^ I was thinking this may be Tapu Tapu as well. Universal already works with accesso with the Q-bot technology in the parks so they already have that relationship.
Uhhh. You sure you didn't remember "seeing" the video after a long night at Mangos with the gang?Seems pretty likely that this will be the Volcano Bay System, but I do have some doubt as I remember seeing a Uni Exec talking on a recent promo video about how proud they were that the Tapu Tapu system had been designed and produced in house.
Sorry but can't find the video I am thinking about to back this up, I swear I saw it though, anyone?

I believe they were talking about the software. Who knows about the hardware.Seems pretty likely that this will be the Volcano Bay System, but I do have some doubt as I remember seeing a Uni Exec talking on a recent promo video about how proud they were that the Tapu Tapu system had been designed and produced in house.
