Lots of work still remains to finish the park, including the wave pool, lazy river, completing the volcano, laying pavement, and installing scenery and landscaping. But recently some of the slides have started testing the water pumps.

Universal has confirmed that Team Members will have a preview period for the new park and it is likely soft openings will occur prior to the grand opening.
