Typhoon Lagoon
History Of Typhoon Lagoon Walt Disney World
Orlando
Legend has it that a terribly violent storm once
roared across the ocean, throwing surfboards into
trees, blowing small boats through roofs and impaling
a shrimp boat on a peak of a great volcanic mountain.
Left in the typhoon's wake are crazy tides, white
water rapids, long meandering waterways and calm
rivers. Navigating the nine exhilarating water
slides and streams' surfing on one of the world's
largest artificially created waves, Typhoon Lagoon
is the park for all your water filled needs.

until the end of the ride. Mayday Falls is
the longest water ride in the park. There are
tunnels, caves, and waterfalls to keep you busy
while the current takes you down stream in an
inner tube. Castaway Creek winds it's way
around the whole park once again riding on your
