What is the highest ride at Volcano Bay?

Krakatau is a 200 feet (61 m) tall artificial volcano and is the park's main icon that is displayed on the logo. The volcano houses three drop-capsule slides, Ko'okiri Body Plunge, the tallest body slide in America ranging at 125 feet tall, and also the first to travel through a pool full of guests.



The highest ride at Universal's Volcano Bay is the Ko’okiri Body Plunge, located inside the 200-foot-tall Krakatau volcano. This near-vertical body slide starts with a "trap door" release that drops riders from a height of 125 feet (38 meters) at a 70-degree angle. It is currently the tallest body slide in the Americas that utilizes a drop capsule and the first in the world to travel through a pool full of guests. Close behind in height are the Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides, which also start from the 125-foot level but take a more winding, high-speed path through the volcano's interior. While the volcano itself is the tallest structure in the park at 200 feet, the slides utilize the upper interior sections to provide one of the most intense "free-fall" sensations available in any water park worldwide.

It's not 100% necessary because there are lots of water sprinklers across the paths. I'm a bit mixed on them. Some slides have to be barefoot, so there are shoe racks at the entrance. However, often the exit to the slide is ages away from the shoe rack to you have to hoof it back to get your shoes.
