Plans have been submitted by Universal Orlando for a waterpark development to include a volcano feature close to its Cabana Bay Beach Resort.

Sited near to the existing Wet ‘n Wild Orlando waterpark – also owned and operated by Universal – the potential development was confirmed by an engineering report filed with the South Florida Water Management District.

The report reveals that a “tall ‘volcano’ with slides will be constructed on the southern part of the site” and there will also be a wave pool, lazy river and rapids ride.

In 2014, Universal filed permits for the project, which said construction would start November 2016 on 53 acres (214,500sq m) of land, though those documents did not initially specify the waterpark element of the project.

Aside from the filed permits, Universal is staying tight-lipped about the development with park representatives unable to comment further.
