The park, themed around a central volcano, is scheduled to open in 2017.
History
In February 2015, Universal Orlando Resort officials submitted plans for a new water park attraction to be located on their property near the Cabana Bay Beach Resort.[2] Construction was already underway when Universal Orlando officially announced the project, and its name, on May 28, 2015.[2] In June 2015, it was revealed that the park would replace the Universal-owned Wet 'n Wild water park, which is set to close on December 31st, 2016.[3]
Volcano Bay is being constructed on approximately 53 acres (21 ha) of the resort complex's overall property.[2] Artist's concepts show a thrill slide coming from the park's central volcano, as well as a wave pool and other water slides.[2] A lazy river and rapids slide are also shown on the plans, although park officials have stated they will reveal all of the park's planned attractions at a later date.[2][4]
