Opened on May 25, Universal’s Volcano Bay will be slightly different than other theme parks in Orlando. Guests will have a more interactive experience with less wait times and better food options. Here are some of the things that will make this theme park a great experience for those who visit it.

Wristbands

Those who enter the park will receive a TapuTapu wristband. This waterproof device allows guests to reserve a place in line for an attraction, without having to actually wait in the line. This will allow them to explore other areas of the park while they wait for their turn on the ride. The wristband will buzz when it’s time to get on the ride. They can also be linked to credit cards and even locker rentals so there’s no need to carry a credit card with you. You also don’t need to worry about bringing your camera or phone to take pictures as there are numerous photo spots at the park and these photos can be stored on the wristband as well.

The Rides

There are four themed areas in the park. Each one features waterslides and rides. The park’s centerpiece is a 200 foot tall volcano called Krakatau. It has a stream of waterfalls during the day and lava at night. Inside of it is the Krakatau Aqua Coaster. The Kopiko Wai Winding River allows riders to relax a bit as they get to go on this slow moving ride that takes them through a cavern. For a more action packed time there is TeAwa The Fearless River that takes riders through fierce rapids.

Krakatau™ Aqua Coaster
Honorary Waturi can experience the power of Krakatau™ on this amazing ride. Four-person canoes slide upward through the mists and into the dark twists and turns within the volcano before emerging with a plunge through a shimmering waterfall.
42” – 48” must be accompanied by a supervising companion

TeAwa The Fearless River™
Up for an adventure? Take a thrilling whitewater ride along TeAwa The Fearless River. Race along a roaring, watery onslaught of churning rapids and choppy waves hanging tight to your inner tube.

Ko’okiri Body Plunge™
Join in the centuries-old tradition of honoring the volcano god, Vol, by braving the incredible Ko’okiri Body Plunge. Featuring a 70-degree fall through a drop door and 125 feet of screaming, white-knuckle fun, this dizzying descent ends with a watery tribute from Vol himself.
Must be 48″ tall to ride.

Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides™
Join Kala and Tai Nui where sea and sky meet and take a leap of faith from high atop the volcano. Twin drop doors simultaneously plunge two guests down clear, intertwining tubes before sending them joyfully splashing into the turquoise waters below.
Must be 48″ tall to ride.

Ohyah of the Ohyah and Ohno Drop Slides™
Test your mettle and get into the Waturi spirit by tackling the Ohyah Drop Slide. Ascend the side of a cliff before plummeting down the twisting waters of Ohyah before dropping out four feet above the pool below.
Must be 48” tall to ride.

Ohno of the Ohyah and Ohno Drop Slides™
To achieve even greater bragging rights, brave the rope bridge and plunge down Ohno, a serpentine adventure that ends six feet above the pool below. Be sure to yell your battle cry on the way down.
Must be 48″ tall to ride.

Honu of the Honu ika Moana™
Experience the twists and turns of underwater currents just like Honu, the sea turtle. Hang on tight as the raft sweeps up two massive walls, through ocean mists and down into sparkling pools in this thrilling adventure.
Must be 48” tall to ride.

For kids there is Tot Tiki Reef & Runamukka Reef.

The Food

However, one of the worst things about going to a theme park can be the food. This park features a very eclectic menu to cater to the tastes of all guests. While there are some more traditional foods like cheeseburgers and french fries, there’s also things like jerked mahi mahi and sushi. There are plenty of dessert choices as well including chocolate pineapple upside down cake.

In addition to the wristbands, rides and food, the park is filled with a lot of small details that most guests will enjoy. Everything from the architecture to the fabrics used in the huts, have been carefully planned to allow for a very authentic experience. One of the ideas behind this park is for guests to be fully immersed throughout their time here. One day tickets are fairly affordable at around $67.
