At Universal’s Volcano Bay water theme park, "taking a TapuTapu" refers to using the wearable waterproof device provided to every guest upon entry. If you "take" or wear the device, it fundamentally changes how you experience the park by allowing you to join Virtual Lines for the most popular slides. Instead of standing in a physical queue under the hot sun, you tap your wristband against a "totem" at the ride entrance, and the device will count down the minutes until it is your turn to ride. When the device vibrates and displays "Ride Now," you head back to the attraction for a minimal wait. Beyond the virtual queue, the TapuTapu allows you to trigger "TapTu Play" interactive features throughout the park, such as spraying water cannons at unsuspecting swimmers or illuminating hidden images inside the volcano’s caves. It also serves as a digital wallet; if you link a credit card to your Universal account, you can pay for food, drinks, and lockers with a simple tap of your wrist. However, you must remember that the device is the property of Universal; you must return it at the exit gates at the end of the day or you may be charged a replacement fee.
