It was closed for the season, but now it’s coming back and I noticed that they chose to reopen days before Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park that isn’t scheduled to reopen until March 7th.
Please remember to follow the safety guidelines:
“Overall, Universal’s Volcano Bay follows the same guidelines and procedures as the other theme parks. Some of the specific measures we’re taking to implement social distancing at Volcano Bay include:
- Limited capacity on each attraction – including rivers and pools
- For multi-person raft rides, only one travel party is allowed to ride in a single raft. Please note that Volcano Bay’s standard height and weight requirements will be applicable.
- Lounge chairs are placed in a fashion that allows travel parties to sit together, while also maintaining at least six feet of distance between other guests.
- Face coverings are required in restaurants, retail locations and as you enter and exit the park, and we also encourage you to wear face coverings while walking around the park.
- Face coverings are not permitted on slides and in pools.
- Face coverings are required for team members in “dry” roles. Team members who have “wet” roles, such as lifeguards, will wear a balaclava when they cannot socially distance.
- These will not be worn on slides or in pools for safety reasons.“
