Volcano Bay Construction Begins on New Cabanas and Parking Garage Ahead of 2026–27 Shutdown

Universal has paused 3‑Park annual pass sales in preparation for an unusually long maintenance closure.

Overview

  • Aerial photos show concrete footers for roughly two to three additional premium cabanas taking shape just outside the water park perimeter.
  • Separate early‑stage work is underway for a dedicated parking garage on Universal property south of Volcano Bay, with dirt grading and initial perimeter concrete in place.
  • Because work started months before the fall closure, outlets report the new cabanas could be ready for summer 2026 use.
  • Universal has confirmed Volcano Bay will close for maintenance from October 26, 2026, with reopening planned on or before March 24, 2027.
  • Sales and renewals of 3‑Park Annual Passes are temporarily suspended, and coverage of the construction relies on bioreconstruct’s recent aerial imagery.
