Things have not slowed down over at construction for Universal's Volcano Bay, even after the minor fire last week. The centerpiece of the new park, the large volcano, is now nearly twice as large as it was during my last update. Many new water slides have showed up on property, including some that intertwine with the volcano. The wave pool, lazy river and more features are becoming more recognizable as well. Universal has said that the park will open with 18 different attractions! Hopefully they can keep this mighty pace and get this new water park open within a year, in time for summer 2017. Check out the video as well as complete photo report below. Plus, a new image of Volcano Bay and all its attractions for the new Universal Orlando map is also below. Stay tuned for more theme park updates coming soon!





Caitlin Dineen, tourism reporter for the Orlando Sentinel was lucky enough to get some photos of new Universal Orlando promotional materials at the U.S. Travel IPW 2016, including this map of Volcano Bay. Notice that there are two rivers, one lazy river and one fast river (like they have at Aquatica) that actually travels through a cave at the base of the volcano! Can't wait!
