Universal Orlando's Volcano Bay waterpark and its four themed areas are based on the story of the Waturi, an ancient tribe from Polynesia who were seafaring travelers and visited multiple islands on their outrigger canoes. They finally settled in an atoll, Volcano Bay, which features the 200-foot Krakatau volcano in its center.

The main area of the park is Krakatau, which features speed slides and some of the more thrilling experiences, like the Krakatau Aqua Coaster. The coaster uses linear induction motors, technology Universal employs on its more traditional roller coasters, to move guests not only down, like most would expect on a water ride, but up and all around.

Volcano Bay also consists of the Wave Village, featuring a multi-directional wave pool; the River Village, which holds child and toddler activities, as well as a winding river experience; and the Rain Forest Village, home to raft slides, speed slides and a whitewater rafting experience.
Guests will wear TapuTapu wristbands, technology enabling them to avoid standing in lines at attractions. Guests tap the band against a totem outside a ride, then receive a notification when they can return to ride. The TapuTapu bands also trigger special effects throughout Volcano Bay.
