Universal Orlando Resort’s official description of Volcano Bay reads:
Make Waves.
It’s a water theme park. Which is like a theme park with a whole lotta water. And that big thing in the middle is just like a real volcano. ‘Cause you know volcanoes have water slides, the kind that’ll make you chicken out at the last minute unless your friends (or kids) peer pressure you. And if you’re more a go-with-the-flow type, we got chill things like a winding river, wave pool—oh, and lounge chairs. Doesn’t get chiller than that. Remember, it’s a South Seas oasis (and nothing says oasis like a volcano).
Universal’s Volcano Bay is a part of Universal Orlando Resort, which includes two other theme parks in Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida, as well as Universal’s CityWalk. Universal Orlando has also announced a new theme park, the Epic Universe, which is slated to open potentially in 2025.
