Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

It looks to be a little North of 150 ft. But I agree. When completed, will have a greater impact. Especially forced prospective when driving up to it.

It doesn't help that you have that elevated ramp right next to it. When your driving on it it's more like your looking across at it than up at it. Also blocks a lot of the base if your driving on 1-4. Obviously it's not really designed for passing traffic, I'm sure it will look much better from in the park.

Absolutely. . I'd love to be back in High School at Dr. Phillips right now. Those kids have it made now haha! Can See a mountain everyday!

Will the volcano be the tallest thing on Universal property?

It's got a ways to go if thats the case. Maybe it will have a spire type shape on top.

From what I can gather, Dr Doom's is the tallest structure on site at 200ft tall followed by RRR at 167ft, Dragon Challenge at 125ft and Hulk at 110ft.

This is the view from Rosen Inn International (I don't know when)

I imagine the volcano will add a lot to the skyline of the resort.

I'd say we're about here. Originally I was going to say higher but I'm forgetting that the exterior will protrude from the skeleton. If that is the height, we should see some sort of platform getting installed at the current height.

Edit: I've just realised that you can see Mako and Kraken in that photo.

 

[Teebin]

Yeah, I think we are good on height.

 

[Dan B]

Has there been any confirmation of the height? I have seen you all talking about a 200ft height limit, if that was the case I would agree with Scott's post on the prediction of current height. Would be nice if they could go higher but even the current height for water slide purposes looks amazing, especially when yous see the construction guys up there as they look tiny!

I wanna say Breakaway Falls at Aquatica is currently the tallest slide in Florida. Does anyone know how tall it is?

Summit Plummet is taller.

Ihu's Breakaway Falls is 80 feet, Summit Plummet is 120 feet.

If it gets any higher, we can call it "Suicide Falls".

Yes, they jipped us a little there with the 108 ft, since that included a massive roof lol

Hmmm... I wouldn't rule out that actual name!

Maybe "Sacrifice Falls" as in the natives are sacrificing us to appease the volcano gods?

They should totally play up the volcano element. "Tectonic Tumble" "Lava Luge"

 

[s8film40]

"Caldera Charge" "Pyroclastic Plunge"

Tectonic Tumble, that's actually quite nice.

 

[Mr. EPCOT]

Tectonic Tumble, that's actually quite nice.

Thanks!

Oh wow. Didn't realize Summit Plummet was the tallest slide in FL, even after 20 years. That thing KILLED my back last weekend when I did it.
