FIELD GUIDE 17 / 18

Universal Orlando · Orlando, Florida

Universal Volcano Bay

“water is life, life is joy”

A water park built around a 200-foot volcano that pours waterfalls by day and glows lava-red by night — the Waturi followed a magical fin across the Pacific to build it, and honestly, fair.

What makes this park itself.

Volcano Bay's trick is that it's a water park with a theme park's soul: one giant icon, a fictional island nation with actual lore, and a wristband that waits in line so you can float instead.

Do Ko'okiri once for the story and the aqua coaster twice for the joy. Then claim a spot on Waturi Beach and watch the volcano do its thing until the lava lights come on.

The field map makes Krakatau the compass point, then wraps rivers, reef villages, slides, and Waturi Beach around its volcanic center.
