The Volcano Bay water theme park is one of the most anticipated upcoming openings in the amusement park industry, and officials from Universal Orlando Resort announced tickets for the park will go on sale soon for visits starting on starting June 1, 2017.
Volcano Bay will be Universal Orlando's third theme park in the city, and the company announced Tuesday that it will feature 18 attractions meant to keep wait times to a minimum and not force guests to carry around water tubes.
While more details have been released, no opening date for the water park has been announced.
