Yes, and it's huge, and it's a huge landmark complex right next to the I-4 freeway in Orlando, and the volcano is HUGE!

It's also another poke-in-the-ribs to Disney whose water parks have been neglected for a number of years, perhaps even decades. (Disney's upcoming opening of two new themed lands will be the first time in a long time that they steal back the "huge new project" spotlight. Universal has been THAT SUCCESSFUL employing a large amount of ex-Disney talent to build a number of new things at Universal.

So there's a lot of information about the new park available online and in the theme park forums. So I won't mention anything other than tropical and tiki themes are hot stuff in water parks at the moment. I attended the opening of a new tiki section at another water park a couple months ago. This is more proof that "Polynesian,""tropical," and "tiki" theming is here to stay. It is being integrated ever more firmly into today's pop culture.
