Volcano Bay

[Absimilliard]

You mean Proslide? I'm curious what else they could have in store...pretty much everything in the park is in their current catalog. I'm interested to see what comes down the road...

Wait and see... That's all I can say.

That is a crazy drop for a waterslide. I'm assuming it's the water coaster.

Looking at the entire photo posted previously, it would pretty much have to be a water coaster. Can't imagine any other way someone's body could get up the second hill.

There is going to be drop slides too, right?
If so are they standard ones, or anything unique?

There are 3 drop slides. All starting at the 150' level. 1 straight and 2 serpentine. The unique part is their size. You start really high up, and the slides are very long.

Are they in the volcano or a seperate area? Do you have any photos?

Thank you! I just watched. It looks like it goes under water too?! That would be great!

Here is another photo. The yellow arrows show where the three drop slides splashdown. To get an idea of scale, check out the workers on the mountain.

Thanks to Bioreconstruct for the pics.

I'm a little confused by that. In the video it looked like you were under water..similar to slides at Aquaventure.. but in these photos it doesn't look like it will be. Do you know one way or the other?

I believe that the section of the straight slide right where the yellow arrow is touching it will be underwater....barely.

My guess is that it's directly above the water but the camera angle was from underneath the surface beneath the slide.

Original concept art shows that portion of the slide to be under water
