Universal’s Volcano Bay™
Water is Life. Life is Joy. That is the mantra by which the fabled Waturi islanders have lived on their Pacific isle for centuries. Here, enchanted waters have granted them the secret of time. The Waturi found that by spending every waking second doing the things you love, with the people you love, it is possible to make happiness last indefinitely.
Now your group can live the Waturi way at this all-new park where thrills and relaxation flow in perfect harmony. Here, every guest is granted the powers of the TapuTapu™ wearable, which changes how you wait because of the park's Virtual Line™. With just a wave of your wrist you can hold your place in the ride lines and reveal wondrous surprises throughout the park. Which means more time to careen down slides, brave whitewater torrents, or drift down a winding river. It's a new kind of paradise at Universal Orlando Resort™.
