In a recent update, Universal Orlando has confirmed significant changes regarding its Volcano Bay water park. Starting October 1, 2025, the complimentary TapuTapu wearable wristband and its associated virtual line system will no longer be available to guests. This adjustment marks a shift in how guests will experience attractions at the water park.
The TapuTapu wristband, introduced at the park’s opening, was designed to enhance the guest experience by allowing guests to hold their place in line virtually. Instead of standing in line directly at an attraction, guests tap their TapuTapu at a kiosk located near the ride entrance. They receive a notification when it’s their turn to ride. During the wait, guests can take part in other activities throughout the park, including enjoying the lazy river, dining, or unwinding. With this service coming to an end, guests will instead use a standard standby line.
Additionally, Universal Orlando has confirmed that Volcano Bay will begin a seasonal closure on October 26, 2026. The park is scheduled to reopen on or before March 24, 2027.
