Q: What is the scariest ride at Volcano Bay? A: The scariest ride at Volcano Bay would have to be the Ko'okiri Body Plunge. This is tallest body slide in all of Volcano Bay and drops guests for 125 feet at a 70 degree angle. The ride is high-speed and ends in a massive splash at the base of Krakatau.
Ko'okiri Body Plunge: A near-vertical (70-degree drop) speed slide with a trap-door start that passes through the Krakatau volcano, falling 125 feet (38 m). The slide will also pass through one of the pool attractions at the base of the volcano, described by the park as a world's-first feature.
The two water parks differ in their ownership, but the major difference between Typhoon Lagoon and Volcano Bay is the attractions. Volcano Bay, which is a Universal park, favors more thrilling attractions, with several large water slides.Typhoon Lagoon in Disney World is geared more toward a relaxing experience.
Keep in mind there are no “weight restrictions” on any of Universal's theme-park attractions; instead, it comes down to how your unique body dimensions fit inside each ride's restraint system. Two people may weigh the same, but one will fit and the other will not — which is why the test seats are so important.
Most coasters don't have a posted weight limit but if they do, that would be listed on the sign where the height restrictions are when you get in line. It's more common to see weight limits on water rides like water slides, and some kiddie rides where parents ride with kids.
Not to be morbid, and this isn't going to happen if you slightly exceed the weight limit, but if you go totally overboard the whole slide could break and you'll all get seriously injured or killed. A heavier group will keep more of their momentum through the turns and therefore more of their speed.
Plus, the park is considerably more than some other waterparks like SeaWorld's Aquatica. Having shelled out that money ourselves and spending the day at the park, we are happy to say that yes, Volcano Bay is worth the money.
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.

How scary is Ko'okiri Body Plunge? The fact that Ko'okiri is located at the top of a volcano isn't even the scariest part… it's the nearly vertical drop! That's why we give it five out of five Waturi water gods in terms of fear factor.
