Overview
- Aerial photos published early June and reported June 10 show two-story cabana structures under construction behind the lazy river with roofing being installed.
- Plans for the build include a tall wall of bamboo to create privacy and a secluded, resort-style feel for cabana guests.
- Universal has scheduled a full-park refurbishment that will close Volcano Bay from October 26, 2026 through March 24, 2027 for extensive maintenance and infrastructure updates.
- Volcano Bay cabanas traditionally offer seating, a small refrigerator with water and fruit, towel and locker service, and a dedicated concierge, and the new two-story units expand those premium amenities.
- Reporting is based on aerial imagery shared by bioreconstruct and follow-up coverage by multiple outlets, while claims that the planned shutdown is the park’s largest investment since opening are interpretive and not quoted directly from Universal.
