Universal Volcano Bay Nights are here! Starting this Saturday, April 12th, Universal’s Volcano Bay will be introducing a new nighttime event that offers perks like limited capacity, live entertainment, character meet and greets, complimentary treats and more as you relax within the lush tropical oasis of the Waturi Islands.
No matter what your favorite theme park is, we can all agree that there’s nothing worse than having to wait in line – especially when it’s hot out! And water parks are somehow even hotter than usual. Having to climb those towers, sometimes with no shoes, out in the blazing sun… it’s a recipe for fried tourist! Wouldn’t it be so much better if you didn’t have to contend with the blazing sun or the wait times?
This after-hours nighttime event gives guests the opportunity to do just that! Attendees will be able to enjoy lower wait times for their favorite attractions like the Krakatau Aqua Coaster, the Kala and Tai Nu Serpentine Body Slides, or the Ko’okiri Body Plunge, which features a seventy-degree fall through the drop door and a one hundred twenty five-foot plunge. Scary!!
Check out Universal’s own Ride Guys, who brave the Krakatau at Universal’s Volcano Bay, for a look at this thrilling and unique water coaster:
And, there’s never been a better time to discover Universal – in addition to this exciting new nighttime event, Universal Orlando Resort is still offering an incredible BOGO sale on general admission for its standard theme park tickets, and can currently be booked for dates as far out as May of 2025! Check out Theme Park Shark’s previous coverage of this deal [here] and bundle all these great deals together to embark on an exceptional theme park experience with Universal Orlando Resort’s full roster of world-class theme parks.
An exceptional park experience isn’t all guests will get to enjoy during this event, either! Complimentary snacks will also be up for grabs, so you can kick back and enjoy bites like the Spicy Island Shrimp, or Cheesy Cliffside Seashell Pasta, and more than 100 Coca-Cola Company drink choices and refills throughout the duration of your event with a complimentary Volcano Bay Freestyle Souvenir Cup.
Specialty foods and beverages will also be available for additional purchase at the Kohola Reef Restaurant and Social Club, Dancing Dragons Boar Bar, and Koka Poroka Ice Cream Kona – so you’re sure to find snacks you enjoy no matter what you prefer!
After you’ve got your snacks, be sure to hit the Waturi Beach for a dance party under the stars, featuring a live DJ and meets and greets with beloved DreamWorks characters like Shrek and Fiona, Puss in Boots, King Julien and Alex from Madagascar, and Poppy, Branch, and Guy Diamond from Trolls. In addition to the live entertainment, guests will also be able to participate in games like hula hoop and limbo while enjoying the view from underneath the park’s iconic 200-foot Krakatau volcano.
Guests looking to get in on this exclusive fun can visit Universal Orlando’s official ticketing site [here], and grab their special event tickets for 99.00 plus tax. Universal Orlando Annual Passholders can enjoy a 10% discount on their purchase with a valid Annual or Seasonal pass and photo ID – but in order to enjoy that pass perk, you’ll have to purchase your tickets at the ticket gate, at guest service locations on property, or by calling (407)-224-7554.
