Volcano bay, lazy river crowds?

Anyhoo, there's still enough time in your countdown that it'll quiet out and get tighter on operations, people on here seem to be very negative about Universal in particular opening new things and having teething issues. Don't let it freak you out

Well I for one don't like the Magic Kingdom when it is too crowded. Was there last year and hated the crowds and left early. I believe they let too many people in and I wasn't there at peak time.

This is only my opinion... but when you have water and children and overcrowding and people nearly stepping on each other to get rings it is genuinely frightening. For the first time I felt very nervous in a park and I absolutely love Universal they are my favourite parks. But I agree with you any park is not very nice to be in when it's overcrowded but I just felt in a water park it is definitely too dangerous.

Same here, I commented on here last year about our Saturday visit to the unmagical kingdom. Crowds were awful, we hated it and left early and won't go there on a Saturday again.

It doesn't have to be a debate on Disney versus universal, all the parks are awful when they let to many people in.

Thanks for your opinions, it doesn't sound like the relaxing day we fancied, so may just head to the pool at PBH, no lazy river, but hopefully everyone will be at VB so it'll be lovely and quiet 😉 x

Worse thing from my viewpoint is that a lot of kids get overly excited when around water and tend to barge and jump around with no mind or heed to anyone else and the discomfort they cause. Add overcrowding to that and it's even worse, especially with parents who exercise zero control ( or interest! ) in what their child is doing.

Half the time it's an accident waiting to happen and very unpleasant, especially if you have younger ones with you.

Another reason we always go later in the year... we learned from bitter experience

We will give it a go because the tickets we have include it, but I'm not holding out much hope for a good day.

It's a shame because it's the one my kids have been excited about, they loved wet and wild and were sad about it closing and have followed the volcano bay development closely.

I have to keep saying to them that it might be horrendously busy and that there are other water parks too. Luckily we have 3 weeks this time or I wouldn't be devoting a day to it!

Was there last week, busy but be there for opening time so you will a few slides before it gets too busy

I saw a video of the lazy river last week, no way on earth I'd take my kids after watching it. It was bumper to bumper with people on rings. I'd seriously hate to be lifeguarding, accident waiting to happen in my lifeguard/swimming teachers opinion.

I'm hoping the pool at HRH will be quiet because everyone will have gone off to VB
