Typhoon Lagoon Things To Do

Here you can find an attraction for each member of the family. Whether you love swimming in a lazy river or rafting, the Typhoon Lagoon offers lots of fun in the sun.

Here is a list of attractions that you can visit:

Castaway Creek

This “lazy river” spans an area of over 2,100 feet! Here, you can circle the entire park while passing cascading waterfalls, mist, and lush rainforests. You can choose to float on your own or by utilizing one of the many inner tubes that are provided.

Miss Adventure Falls

A family attraction owned by Captain Mary Oceaneer, a treasure hunter at sea. She has been trapped in an unpleasant hurricane and her treasure has spread throughout the country years ago. You mount a raft for four people and ride with a water conveyor and look for precious artifacts.

Gangplank Falls

This is the perfect attraction for the entire family to enjoy!  This is a 300-foot water slide on a 4-person pipe that will take you through a rocky cave under a wet waterfall and below a rustic wooden bridge, twisting and tilting from side to side.

Humunga Kowabunga

These three high-speed water slides will shoot riders downward five stories at speeds of over 30mph! You must be 48″ or taller to ride. Three slides of an adjacent and closed body allow you to descend 200 meters in the dark at an angle of 60 degrees and fall five stories in seconds.

Keelhaul Falls

Feel the fury of the whitewater rapids as you ride along a course lined with boulders and palm trees. Pass through caverns and spin below waterfalls until you get to the exhilarating splashdown at the bottom.

Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool

This is America's biggest wave pool and the center of  Typhoon Lagoon. Listen for the "sonic boom" to get ready for the big waves to come in which happen every 30 minutes. Bodysurf to a variety of wave levels and get propelled to shore.

Mayday Falls

This is the highest and longest waterslide at the water park. Get ready for a bumpy ride down the rapids on a single-rider inner tube. The ride begins in the shadow of Miss Tilly, a shipwrecked shrimp boat on Mayday Mountain, the iconic Disney Typhoon Lagoon. Whoosh through caves, under bridges, and past the drenching waterfalls!

Crush 'n' Gusher

Choose between a pineapple, coconut, or banana, and then slide a 400-foot water slide. The bands are driven by powerful currents through gradients, sudden twists, and turns through dark and open parts. This attraction is a roller coaster on water. High-powered water jets not only push you down the slides….sometimes you’ll find yourself going up a slide or two! You must be 48″ or taller to experience this ride.

Storm Slides

In this aquatic adventure, you'll zip, twist, and turn your way past rocky outcrops and lush greenery, through grottoes. You'll ultimately meet the epic 3-story-high waterfall finale. Are you brave enough?

Typhoon Lagoon Tips

Come Early

If you go to the water park, parking can quickly fill up on peak summer days. Although there are plenty of sunbeds available, the best chairs are available an hour after opening the park. If you arrive at noon, it may be a little more difficult to find chairs for your group.

Bring Cheap Sunglass

Leave your good set of shades at home! Many people tend to lose their sunglasses on the water rides. You can always buy a cheap set of shades at your local store so that when you're out and about on the rides and lose them, it's not a big deal.

Drink A Lot of Water

Ensuring that you are drinking the right amount of water throughout the day is already an important habit to have. This is especially so when heading to one of the parks where you are easily bound to get dehydrated. A 2-liter of water is generally recommended.

Water Shoes

It's always a great idea to have a pair ofwater shoes. They will protect your feet so that you can spend the following day walking in the amusement park.

Take Inventory of What You Need

As a family, bring your own personal towels instead of renting them in the Park. You may save $2 per towel in which you can splurge on a good snack instead! Remember to buy and carry other products, for instance, sunscreen from your local supermarket, so you don’t have to pay extra.
