Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[Nick]

How much has been done over a year makes the whole project look surprisingly easy.

Building a water park is actually much easier (and likely cheaper) than building something like Diagon so it is (relatively) simple. Water Park's are easy builds.

OK, just got confirmation that yes, VB TMs will park in the main employee lot with shuttles but not at THAT turn around. Now with more info, I'm pretty sure that is the drop off for hotel shuttles at the park entrance rather than sending them to the hub to catch shuttles there.

Purple supports going up in this area today for another slide complex. Anyone know which slides are supposed to be here? I imagine the square orange building built into the side of the Volcano is the pump house for these slides.

my guess is the ohyah and ohno slides?

I think that's the gap people are trying to figure out. If people from the new properties are getting transported to the transportation hub, that's fine for the parks but a bit of a walk getting to VB if they have to enter the car park and get the tram.

Busses will pick up for VB at each resort

That makes sense. If they made on site hotel guests take a bus to the parking garage, and then board another one for the park, that would create a fairly long, unnecessarily duplicate, trip.

It does look like buses can enter the tram/bus lane between the car park and the tunnel to VB.



This would probably save some time by the buses not having to drive down Turkey Lake Road.

I'm thinking the bus drop off area near the Entrance will only be for Tour Buses during special events. Much like IOA has a bus drop off area next to the entrance but it's not used for regular park guests.

I spit on the base of this sign... I dunno who is creating these retro looks within UC but I am sick of it. I would like to belt them with 1960's boomerang Formica.

Tiki culture and retro vacations are what the park are themed on, as well as the hotel next store. So it fits very well. I personally love it.

It looks small from afar, closer it should look way bigger

Could that loop by the entrance be for guest drop off?

Could that loop by the entrance be for guest drop off?

The way the roads are set up the only way to get there is by driving through the backstage area of the park - and not just by cutting in at the side like at IOA but by looping behind it and up the entire length of it.

I don't think so. The road to get there goes backstage.
