Volcano Bay Expansion?

[RFRees]

3.5 acres which is plenty for expansion of this park

Are they still using the old Creative building for Creative or has that been moved? I'm wondering if that building could be on the chopping block.

I assumed that Loews would probably take over that space since they have their offices and facilities in there.

theres a boh ops building and security check point between that and the VB expansion pad

Lakewood was mention on a permit i was tracking but it needs resubmitting


If anyone's interested I did a mockup by the way

I’ve always wanted a hot springs/bubbling springs area back there with the ability to heat those springs in the winter; they wouldn’t need to heat in the summer. I’m not sure how lucrative that would be or if there would be an actual draw for the winter, but it was always a thought as I loved going when it was first open in the winter with zero crowds.

Ill be the first to say I don't really get into the armchair Imagineering thing that some people do, and I came at this expansion pad thing from a point of view of what realistically they have room for, and like....it was interesting thematically of how they continue that through to expansion which is why I settled on the more volcanoes thing. I guess if that's the kind of thing they did they could easily add a low shallow section they looks like a hot springs would be really cool

Very smart design. The cabanas bring in a ton of money and another water coaster is a must although I would want it to go trough the whole expansion and not just on one side. The wheel is fun to look at but I think Universals lawyers aren't happy with it as people can panic and will be hard to reach. Also when it breaks down it's a nightmare to empty the thing.

I actually have been tweaking the design since i posted this, updates here:

My personal preference is for VB to receive 2 water coasters (either another Krakatau or a ProSlide Mammoth for improved capacity), and a themed bar.

The initial layout was based on Mammoth actually, however that is built into a hill with 18 metres of elevation drop, so I realised that building that ride would kill like half the expansion pad with all the support struts it would need

I'm sure they can find a layout that maximize the space efficiently.

Anyone attend VB these past few days? Wondering how busy it is
