Universal's Volcano Bay water "theme" park will be the resort's most ambitious project since the 90s. Not only will it expand the resort but it will also be the resort's first water park built from the ground up. The water "theme" park, as Universal likes to call it, will redefine what a water park is. Its tropical theme and massive erupting volcano create a truly unique and original theme. In Universal Orlando's announcement, they released few details about the park, however, their concept art gives a visual representation of what the park will look like when completed. What you may not realize about the concept art is how much detail was put into it. If you look closely, you can actually make out what will inhabit the water "theme" park. …show more content…
Once at the top platform for the slide, you'll definitely get an amazing view of Universal Orlando and surrounding areas. Aside from the water slide's platform, the water slide itself will also have breathtaking views. The slide has clear tubing so that you can intake the magnificent view of the volcano's waterfall. Now the only thing that questions us is whether you will be forced to climb stairs to reach the volcano's peak or if the volcano will allow you to use a themed elevator.
3. A magnificent wave pool
Universal's Volcano Bay water "theme" park (like all water parks) will feature a wave pool. However, what makes Volcano Bay's wave pool different is that it may use the volcano's waterfall to create wave effects... wave effects that may continuously occur.
4. A serene lazy river
You can't have a water park without a lazy river! Volcano Bay's lazy river will be located next to the wave pool and massive water slide. The lazy river seems to be very peaceful despite it being right in the center of the action.
5. Additional water slides
The water slide beginning near the peak of the park's volcano isn't the only water slide. The water park also features four additional water slides visible in the concept art. Two of the slides appear to wrap around the volcano while the other two slides seem to feature less intense

As previously mentioned, the volcanic eruption and collapse of Mount Mazama left a huge bowl shaped cardena. This resulted in the creation of a very large mountainous land area around what was once Mount Mazama. Thus, creating the 2,000 foot tall mountains that are currently around the lake in the national park today. Along the mountains and around the area, there are trees like any national park out there. The largest tree in the national park is ponderosa pine. The hiking trails is another main draw for visitors to Crater Lake.

At the peak of the point this is a panorama of the sea and the red-roofed lighthouse. The lighthouse built in 1909, is not available to walk around just a sight to see on the hillside. (Crosby). If coming between September thru April there is a chance to see migrating humpback whales, as they tend to pass right by this point. Heading down the steep trail to the tide pools there is a blow-hole that can blast up to 50 feet in the air. “The Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club (HTMC) has loads of information for new hikers, visitors and serious adventurers interested in exploring one of Oahu's more than 80 trails.

You wait in line for what seems like forever and finally you take your seat. You pull the paddle bars so they fit snug against your shoulders. You reach the top and then comes the big drop. You start screaming or if you're daring you put your hands up and enjoy the ride. I'm of course speaking of roller coasters. Today I'm going to go over the history, the different types of roller coasters, the mechanics, and the most important part, safety of roller coasters.

My underwater coaster is called the Stone Hearts. When you walk to the entrance of Stone Heart, you walk through a set of tinted doors (which keeps the inside room darker), leading you to the main hall of the lines. When you first walk in there are holographic rivers above the riders’ heads with decaying mermaids swimming in them. At random a motion sensor will activate one of the holographic mermaids to jump out at the set of riders walking towards the gate. On display there will be stones with scripture carved into them; the scripture will be the legend of the lost love between two very different lovers. Also on display will be items from the “shipwreck” including items such as a shirt, a book, a necklace and a stone heart. The stone heart
