Volcano Bay

Why would anyone pay money for those ridiculous wait times when there are three other water parks in Orlando where you can go and wait no more than 20-30 minutes tops per slide? It's been open a month now... they need to let less people in until this can be fixed.

Maybe they want to see what is new? Or maybe ride the tallest slide in the US?

It is improving all the time

"You can find 'Ride now' activities even that are on the TT system in addition to the attractions that aren't on the TT."

What is not clear about this statement? There are multiple forms of entertainment in the park. The park isn't just some slides with TT terminals and nothing else.

Let me answer that rather simple question for you. When you say 'in addition to the attractions that aren't on the TT.' you don't make it clear whether you're talking about just slides, just none slide 'attractions' or both combined? If you use your powers of reasoning surely you can figure that out? Perhaps before being rude to others you should question whether the posts you make could be worded better so those without psychic powers can understand them, otherwise you just end up looking a bit silly which I'm sure you're not.

Or you can get off your single track of thinking and realize the statement was written to acknowledge that PEOPLE DO MORE THAN ONE THING TO BE ENTERTAINED. Instead of listing out every possible thing people can do to find enjoyment inside the park that ISN'T one of those things with a wait... I wrote a single sentence that elegantly encompassed the idea THERE ARE OTHER THINGS BESIDES WAIT AND SLIDES.

There is a reason the park is not just slides decorated in a parking lot. FFS you'd think people might realize that. Hey, don't bother going to the best vacation experience in Orlando... Discovery Cove... because... there are no slides!! I don't know how you could possibly keep yourself entertained without such structure and limited entertainment ideas.

Jesus... imagine sitting on a lounge chair... or enjoying a speciality drink... or relaxing on a float... or enjoying another lesser attraction with little wait. OH NO.. I MUST BE ENJOYING THESE SLIDES OR BE IN LINE FOR ONE!!!! ANYTHING ELSE IS A FAILURE!!

Who are you talking to as I said nothing from the above,, do you hear voices in your head saying these things?

As for the highlighted part, you didn't say that at all? You didn't make it clear which 'attractions' you were talking about as the very post you quoted clearly explained and I was merely politely asking?

I don't make it clear because the point is I DON'T CHOOSE WHAT PEOPLE DO FOR FUN! I don't want to list every possible distraction people can use to entertain themselves? Is this such a hard concept? 'attractions' equals more than slides. Crazy concept in the land of theme parks huh??

Just read the post again... this is not rocket science.

"Waits of 30+mins are not uncommon at Disney water parks.. heck, even my local water parks can have that for attractions. Only certain slides (not all) are experiencing the multi-hour waits.. and not even all slides have waits. You can find 'Ride now' activities even that are on the TT system in addition to the attractions that aren't on the TT. So this isn't 'do nothing and have multi-hour waits for everything' as you keep making yourself believe"

Firstly, why are you shouting? I can read lowercase letters.

Secondly, you've just admitted you didn't make it clear! You just said "I don't make it clear". You then contradict yourself by saying "Just read the post again... this is not rocket science", after admitting you didn't make it clear.

Thirdly, who is asking you to "list every possible distraction people can use to entertain themselves?" For the purpose of this discussion there were a simple 3 options. Just slides, just wave pool and river or all combined. I'm clearly not asking for a huge list including picking your nose, cutting your toe nails, breathing, blinking, looking at ladies in bikinis, looking at men in trunks, playing angry birds on your phone, arguing politics with strangers or trying to scratch yourself without strangers noticing.

Fourthly, who are you talking to again? It's like your answering questions that are nothing to do with the debate and getting angry with yourself.

Fithly, can we just be friends. You sound like you need a big cuddle?

Maybe the easier question for people who have visited...are there slides that don't use TapuTapu? The wavepool, lazy river, and eating are all activities you can do while waiting for your ride times, but I'm guessing your question was based around "are there any slides that you can walk on?"

I'm not the person to answer that, but from what I've seen the only time that can happen is when the attraction is slotted as 'ride now'

Frankly I find having to repeat myself over and over rather annoying. You seemed to be having trouble following... I was hoping clarity would help the key concepts for you.

I said 'don't make it clear' to use YOUR words... to connect your 'claim' to my action, not describe my actions. Jesus.. do I really have to spell everything out letter by letter for you? Can you try reading sentences in context instead of word by word?? Please read the text I quote before reading my text. You'll get it a lot better. I mean.. the grammar isn't even correct.. because I'm using YOUR WORDS... next time I'll be sure to use air quotes every where possible so you can't possibly get confused...

If you really think that is all there is to the park - then don't go. Seriously.. goto a simpler park and be done with it already.

Thanks for the response, it has been answered though a few posts back. The other day on this thread an article was quoted where it was 'rumoured' that they were going to remove some slides from Tapu, Tapu. That's mainly why I was inquiring and then all hell broke loose for some bizarre reason

Ok, first highlighted sentence sounds like the ramblings of a mad man and makes no sense? I have to read your text before reading it?

Second highlighted bit, where have I said that. Who are you arguing with, seriously?

I can answer that last question. Anyone who doesn't agree with everything he says.

Yes, if you look at the pictures of the wait time boards you will see there are several options (slides and other amusements for those that have not been following the WHOLE thread) that routinely list as "ride now". The rivers and wave pool list as "Ride Anytime"

 

[EpcotEric01]

As long as a slide has no wait it is listed as "Ride Now". Once a slide gets above 20 minutes (I believe) it becomes one that you have to Tapu Tapu for. Taniwha, a few of the family slides, and the serpentine body slides have generally been running ride now or have low (less than 60 minute) waits. Ohya, Ohno, Maku, Krakatau, and the red drop slide are the ones that def need a return time. People keep referring to these exuberant wait times, the wait times have gone down substantially due to lower capacity and the OPs team getting more time to work on things.

Why would anyone pay money for those ridiculous wait times when there are three other water parks in Orlando where you can go and wait no more than 20-30 minutes tops per slide? It's been open a month now... they need to let less people in until this can be fixed.

Why would anyone pay $100 to go to Animal Kingdom and wait for FoP for 4 hours when there is 6 other theme parks in Orlando where you can wait in far less time to ride any number of attractions? Its because both are new and people want to see it.

If anyone waits 4 hours for anything, they have nothing to complain about. Their choice.

Volcano Bay hit capacity around 9:15am this morning. It's going to be the story over the holiday break and most of July (Although AP
Blackouts, except for premier) happen on July 1st.

If you plan to go, go EARLY (Before opening) Or wait until the afternoon storms, they'll reopen it after it clears out (and is much more enjoyable then anyway).

But if the numbers being quoted here are true, that at 6,000 people Volcano Bay is at capacity yet that is how many people are typically at the Disney water parks, then Volcano Bay has a serious capacity issue and this isn't just because it's new.

Is this place flopping like everyone is saying?
