Construction is coming along at Universal's Volcano Bay.

  • Volcano Bay's volcano under construction
  • Krakatau will have 3 body slides, other attractions

Sky 13 caught a glimpse of the volcano that will be the centerpiece of the future water park. The metal infrastructure can also be seen from Interstate 4, near the new Sapphire Falls resort.

Volcano Bay will have 18 attractions with Polynesian influences.

The volcano itself, Krakatau, will feature three different body slides with surprise doors that drop out underneath riders. There is also a high-speed race featuring four slides and an as-yet unknown attraction.

In addition, the volcano will feature waterfalls in the daytime and "illuminate with blazing lava" at night, according to Universal.

The park is expected to open next year, though an official date has not been announced.
