First pics of Universal’s Volcano Bay waterpark in Orlando

Orlando’s new waterpark, Universal’s Volcano Bay, is now open and looks like being an amazing success.

There are more than 30 experiences including 18 unique attractions including a multi-directional wave pool with sandy beaches, a peaceful winding river, twisting multi-rider raft rides, speeding body slides that drop from the top of the 200ft volcano into the waters below.

CEO Tom Williams said: “Universal’s Volcano Bay sets a new standard on every level – from the attractions to how our guests experience them.

“Our new water theme park is the perfect complement to the rest of our incredible destination.  It provides our guests with spectacular entertainment experiences and innovative technology that helps them enjoy more of what matters most – connecting with each other and having an amazing time together.”

Visitors to Volcano Bay also get to wear a wristband, TapuTapu. which has superb features. It lets you virtually wait in line for rides while enjoying other areas of the park and tells you when it’s time to return for their ride.

You can also make purchases throughout the park with the TapuTapu, so there’s no need to carry cash or credit cards, rent lockers and have photos linked to the wristband.
