Secondary-533Universal Orlando Resort has officially announced a new water theme park experience -Volcano Bay at Universal Orlando Resort – will join Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure and become the resort’s third incredibly immersive park when it opens in 2017.

Nothing specific has been revealed, but Universal Orlando is promising “a whole new generation of experience that reimagines what it means to be a water park”.

It will be set in a highly themed, completely immersive environment inspired by “postcard-perfect tropical islands”.

More from Universal’s Official Press Release:

Universal’s Volcano Bay will be a place for the entire family. It will offer radically innovative, thrilling attractions, peaceful moments of relaxation and an inspired guest experience that will forever change the perception of water theme parks. It will be set in a highly themed, completely immersive environment inspired by postcard-perfect tropical islands. And it will be the kind of special place that only the Universal team – the same team that has changed the face of Universal Orlando Resort in recent years – can envision and create.

Universal’s Volcano Bay will be located within Universal Orlando Resort, just south of the Cabana Bay Beach Resort.
