Thrill seekers beware! The attractions inside the Krakatau volcano at Universal Studio’s Volcano Bay are going to blast you to new heights of aquatic amusement.

The 200-foot-tall mighty “fire and water” volcano, located in the center of the park, streams waterfalls during the day and fiery lava light effects at night. The volcano also houses some of the park’s wildest attractions.

Krakatau, the towering artificial volcano at Universal’s Volcano Bay, stands as the park’s iconic centerpiece with dramatic cascading waterfalls, surrounded by lush palm trees and vibrant blue skies.

WATCH VOLCANO BAY KRAKATAU MOUNTAIN OVERVIEW:

Upon entering the volcano, be sure to experience the power of Krakatau. Krakatau Aqua Coaster is where guests in groups of four can slide through mists and into dark twists and turns that make up the massive volcano. The ride ends with guests plummeting through a shimmering waterfall.

The iconic green water slide spirals past Krakatau, the towering volcano centerpiece at Universal’s Volcano Bay, promising thrills under dramatic Orlando skies.

Guests can also experience the Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides. This attraction lets visitors join Kala and Tai Nui in a free fall jump from the top of the volcano by two twin drop doors that simultaneously plunge guests into intertwining, clear tubes. The great fall will have you screaming for your life before you splash into the calm waters below the daring descent.

Universal Orlando’s Volcano Bay features thrilling blue and green water slides that twist and turn before splashing down into a tropical pool, surrounded by lush plants and excited guests. The towering Krakatau volcano centerpiece rises dramatically in the background, setting the stage for an unforgettable water park adventure.

Another water ride to keep you shaking with excitement is the Ko’okiri Body Plunge. This experience mirrors the Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slide as it has guests taking a great fall. This attraction is a 70-degree, 125-f00t free fall that will have you begging the Waturi gods for mercy.

One last water ride that might bring out your competitive side is the Punga Racers. This attraction is geared for children of all ages as guests can ride by themselves on a manta ray mat that slides through underwater sea caves. If you’re the first to cross the finish line, you can receive a watery salute from Punga himself.
