U
niversal’s Volcano
Bay is an innovative
water theme park
opening next year at
Universal Orlando
Resort. Spanning
28 fully immersive acres, Universal
Orlando’s third theme park will be a
totally new kind of park. Guests will
be able to enjoy a variety of experiences,
ranging from daring to serene including
peaceful winding rivers and private,
two-story cabanas, twisting family raft
rides, to a multi-directional wave pool
with sandy beaches and twisting body
slides that launch guests above the water.
Each area of the four imaginativelythemed areas of the park will offer its own
easy-to-access, resort-like amenities,
such as concierge locations and lockers,
so guests won’t have to stroll out of their
way to get what they need. The park
will redefine the queue experience so
guests can focus entirely on having fun
and spending time together. Guests
won’t even have to carry their own
rafts up the slides. There will also be
highly-themed restaurants and bars
throughout the park with signature food
and beverage offerings and impressive
views of the towering volcano.
The four primary park areas are:
Krakatau
The 200-foot volcano, Krakatau, will
lie at the heart of the park, inviting
guests to venture through its hidden
caverns and cascading waterfalls.
• A state-of-the-art marquee
attraction found only at Volcano
Bay. (Details revealed at a later date.)
• Three distinctive body slides
found at the rear of the volcano,
which start off with surprise doors
