Universal's Volcano Bay Water Theme Park, or Volcano Bay, is a themed water park at Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida. Owned and operated by Universal Parks and Resorts, Volcano Bay replaced Wet 'n Wild as Universal Orlando Resort's water park, and it was the first constructed by Universal itself. The park, themed around a 200-foot-tall (61 m) volcano named "Krakatau," opened on May 25, 2017. Krakatau is a 200 feet (61 m) tall artificial volcano, the park's main representative and is displayed on the logo. The volcano houses three drop slides, Ko'okiri Body Plunge, the tallest body slide in America ranging at 125 feet tall, and also the first to travel through a pool full of guests. Krakatau also holds the Kala & Ta Nui Serpentine Body Slides which travel throughout the midst of the volcano winding around the Krakatau Aqua Coaster. The park utilizes the TapuTapu experience. TapuTapu is a wristband wearable distributed at the entrance at the park, which can be used to hold one's place in line instead of standing in long queues for attractions. TapuTapu comes with other features including TapTuPay, which will connect to a credit card through the Universal Orlando app and can be used to pay for drinks and merchandise from the park. Another TapuTapu technology at Volcano Bay is TapTuPlay, using the wristbands to interact with environmental features, set off water springs, or illuminate lights.
