Two-sentence insider summary

Krakatau Aqua Coaster logo at Universal’s Volcano Bay

The flagship attraction of Volcano Bay, the Krakatau Aqua Coaster has a four-person canoe that launches up and shoots down hills and rockets through the volcano itself in a series of dark twists and turns. For the finale, the coaster plunges down a large drop with a large Tiki statue on each side.

Fear factor
3 out of 5. This is a case of the ride looking worse than what it really is.

What you wish you knew before you experienced it
This attraction quickly builds and maintains a wait throughout the day, which means you’ll want to prioritize riding it. As a fan-favorite, many parties will want to ride it more than once each visit.

OI fun facts
To fling riders up hills, Universal is employing the same technology as it does on Revenge of the Mummy. It’s actually a great deal of fun to experience.

Also, the aqua coaster was originally classified as part of the Krakatau area of Volcano Bay before Universal reorganized the map, dissipating that land altogether.
