Information Bites: Universal’s Water Theme Park
Universal’s Volcano Bay is a tropical-themed water park within the Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida. Volcano Bay is designed to transport visitors to a fictional, idyllic Pacific island, the Waturi. The park’s centerpiece is the towering Krakatau volcano, the backdrop for many attractions.
Krakatau, the park’s central volcano, features a stunning waterfall by day and a mesmerizing display of lava-inspired lighting by night. The volcano is not just a scenic element but also houses some of the park’s attractions.
The park offers a variety of water attractions, including thrilling water slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, and a multi-directional wave pool called the Waturi Beach. Some notable slides include the Krakatau Aqua Coaster, Ko’okiri Body Plunge, and the Taniwha Tubes.
Volcano Bay utilizes a virtual queue system called TapuTapu. This wearable device allows visitors to reserve their spot in line for attractions, eliminating the need to wait in long lines physically. Guests can enhance their experience by renting private cabanas with amenities like concierge service, complimentary snacks, and a refrigerator. Premium seating options are also available for a more comfortable and shaded space.
This water park is part of the Universal Orlando Resort, and admission is typically included in Universal’s park-to-park tickets. Visitors can access the water park from the other Universal theme parks, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, via dedicated walkways or shuttle buses.
