Universal Announces New Water Theme Park Volcano Bay Opening in 2017
Universal today announced an all new water theme
park Volcano Bay. Set in picture-perfect
tropical islands and formed by a massive
volcano, it will have something for every member
of the family. Volcano Bay will feature
radically-innovative attractions, peaceful
moments of relaxation and an experience that we
hope will change the way guests think about
water theme parks. Ground has already been
broken just south of Universal’s Cabana Bay
Beach Resort. Construction will move quickly,
and the park will open in 2017.
