The Rainforest Cafe Volcano was completely rebuilt in 2013 to include elaborate fire, lighting, and audio effects as the volcano "erupts."

I've been trying to get my wife to go for like six years and we have a reservation at next month at the AK location.

But when does it reopen? Will it be open for summer 2024?
