Description: Universal’s Volcano Bay immerses guests in a vibrant blend of Polynesian cultures. Throughout the water park, lighting renders an environment that is warm, playful, and – above all – safe. At the center of the park, a large volcano’s majestic waterfall periodically erupts in angry bursts of lava, then transforms back to cool, calm, watery blues.
Scope of Work: Visual Terrain was responsible for the lighting design for all areas visible to the public.
Awards: Lumen West Award of Merit, IES Society Award, TEA Thea Award
