Official: Volcano Bay to Open 2017

Universal is building a water park?! I am shocked! I had no idea! :thumbsup:

The line that really hyped out? Since 2010 universal has opened 18 attractions! Holy jumpin!

Wonder how this will affect Aquatica or Wet n Wild. Those are the two parks it could take business from. I doubt Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach will be affected at all. To me, they are two of the best water parks i have ever been to. Aquatica was ok and wet n wild just seems...out of play now. It really doesn't make one want to go back anymore. At least compared to the others.
Have to see.

Again, Wet n Wild is scheduled to close some time after this opens... So forget Wet n Wild...

Yes, cause building it faster automatically means building it better.

Does building it make it better? No... What will make it better is the top notch attractions Universal builds inside Volcano Bay...

In fact, those working in the Potter sections of the park are far more engaged than most in the industry.

I'm not sure where the blanket perception comes from. It's just not true. I've been going there for 6-7 years now and have been both a Premium and normal AP holder and have stayed on site multiple times.

Ditto...I have been going there since 1992....almost every year....Never had a problem...

I have got to get to Universal one of these trips. :blush:

Now is a good time Patricia, but definitely stay on site even if for just a couple days. Soak it all in.

I think it's great they are making a water park, just gives us more to do when we go.. :mickey:
