High Tech Water Park
Universal Orlando will open a new water park, Volcano Bay, next summer and recently released some more details about the exciting attractions and wearable technology. When you get to the park you will receive a high-tech bracelet called a TapuTapu which will allow your family to avoid long lines with a simple tap. You can put yourself in a virtual line for the attraction of your choice while enjoying other portions of the park. When the time comes to board the ride, you will be alerted by your bracelet; similar to the way restaurants alert you when your table is ready. Your bracelet will also let you trigger special affects around the park called Tap to Play. You can control streams of water spurting from whales in Tot Tiki Reef, shoot water cannons at other guests snaking down Kopiko Wai Winding River and illuminate images in the volcano’s hidden caves. Volcano Bay’s signature attraction is the Krakatau Aqua Coaster will be a trackless ride through the park’s 200-foot-high Krakatau volcano. You will be propelled both downward and upward on canoes that twist and turn through the peaks, valleys and dark passageways. Tickets are now on sale for Volcano Bay.
