8. Tap Into Krakatau Aqua Coaster First

Arguably the best ride in Volcano Bay is the Krakatau Aqua Coaster and the wait times can certainly reflect it.

The ride is designed just like a roller coaster and takes you on an adventure around Krakatau

If the Krakatau Aqua Coaster is a must do for you then head straight over to the ride and get tapped in. If you wait you may find yourself with long wait times for the ride.

Often tapping in first thing (especially if you are making the most of early entry) should give you a more manageable wait time. You could even find the attraction showing "Ride Now" if you are prepared to be at the attraction as soon as the park opens.

Krakatau Aqua Coaster isn't the only slide that attracts long waits. The Ohyah and Ohno drop slides are extremely popular so again if you must do these get your place in line after you've ridden the last ride.

Though TapuTapu prevents you having to stand in long, hot lines it doesn't cut out the wait times completely. If you only have a short time at Volcano Bay then you could treat yourself to an Express Pass for the day to beat some of the waits.
