Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

So what 4 things will be open with a full capacity park + media?

This is not going to go well.

I'm considering going to the opening ceremony, doing the blue wave slide, eating, then leaving. I'll wait till everything is done to do the whole day Park.

I just read five pages worth of posts, and all I'm left thinking is why someone thinks there are railroad tracks going throwing UOR. The rest was inevitably pointless and circular.

I love this place

You info is incorrect the bus would be going down the wrong way on a one way street. As they have it set up now that ruote is impossible.

What road is this? This one?

Everyone is suspect :look:

I was actually hoping for this. Give me something to watch when having my lunch on Thursday.

Yes- thats the one that is on the original permit filing. That's where I assumed originally it would be the resort bus entrance. The plan says "2 lanes"- but even if it is a one-way street/loop, that would work just fine. Good find Scott.

10 different slides, a wave pool, and the action river.

UO issues a correction on Twitter:

You think at least one of them would have spelt "site" correctly :doh:

At least you know they are not social media plants.......... or are they?

Looks like the wind can really mess with the lighting effects.

Those kids in the reef thought they had a mini geyser, let them know about real life

Damn I really hope this is not true... no volcano attractions?? Really

I'm taking all this talk with a grain of salt. This thread has been moving at a lightning pace over the past few days and will speed up more until Thursday. In the build up to the grand opening, there is misinformation every where.

I really have been keeping that mindset since first word of it. Why not go ahead and make it official today If they do know it's not happening? Just wondering if they'll wait until opening day when people get there to tell them, if this is true..

They may still be hopeful they can pull everything together in the next 80 or so hours....

We'll all know soon enough.

What baffles me is that this is a new park opening but instead of feeling excited, many seem to be more worried. The marketing hasn't been extensive, compared to Avatarland or even Harry Potter, which are lands. It seems like the Jimmy Fallon ride was more hyped.

They should have had Jimmy come down now (instead of when he did) and cover Volcano Bay and his ride.

All hotels except for Cabana/Aventura/Sapphire will have bus shuttle to Volcano Bay. Hence the very large bus plaza in the bus loop.

Not to support that idea that things won't be ready but there might be a reason it seems like Universal aren't heavily pushing this however, upon saying that. I've seen people posting screenshots from Twitter and TV from all kinds of different areas.

It makes sense for Universal to have Fallon coming down and killing two birds with one stone from a financial point of view but Universal want two separate events.
