Interesting. Not sure how Volcano Bay measures up to Schlitterbahn from a purely "water ride" perspective, but they've clearly invested a tremendous amount of time and effort into the presentation. Is it authentic tiki? Well, not really. But tiki itself isn't an authentic representation of anything other than itself. It looks fun and welcoming, and they've done an impressive job of conveying age with some of that statuary. And I don't see any signs of Jimmy Buffett, although I expect plenty of his tunes will be playing over the park speaker system, and I'd be surprised as heck if there wasn't a Margaritaville restaurant near the entrance (if not now, then at some point in the future).

We don't normally visit water parks when traveling, because they're normally disappointing to us (what can I say? Living in New Braunfels has spoiled us). But this one would tempt me.
