Also from the article: 5 acre expansion already in the works! :clap:

yes, that could be starting as soon as 3 weeks!

That looks incredibly botched now.

Wow, that looks bad now.

I think they'll try to work 24/7 on the drop slide. If it's not open on opening day, that won't be good.

Wow, that looks bad now.

it's not done. obviously it will be smoothed and painted.

Finally, some in-park photos! Great article with some fun facts, too.

Universal's Volcano Bay: Inside Orlando's newest resort - CNN.com

"To upgrade the experience, guests may also book a one or two-story private cabana. Using the TapuTapu wristband they may book a ride right from the cabana."

Thats a plus for the cabanas. Take a look at what has the shortest line and tap without having to actually walk over there ill it's ready.

It is just a few miles south of UOR...

Wow this is gonna make cabanas for large families even more sense.

Why are they chipping up the concrete in the north river? Mercy!!!

Goodness, that video is telling... and not telling good things.

Because Universal always goes with the lowest bidder, which leads to things like drive tires on Gringotts and last minute patchwork on waterpark technology that's been around for almost a quarter century. This *clap* Always *clap* Happens *clap* lolol.

No.

How is it that for every guy working there are 3 who do nothing. How do they get things done?
I like the lights above the lazy/wild river.

 

[fryoj]

The tension on that jobsite must be ungodly right now.

 

[Miketheboss]

This is going to be a PR disaster. I'd demand a refund if I were going the first week. Can't believe they are still going through with that opening date.

I know I'm being really negative but this is an ugly situation. They still have like 8 days left but idk.

Universal says more pictures coming tonight!
