Surf's up in this Tropical Water Park that looks like a typhoon has hit it. There is even a boat stuck on a mountain top. The massive inland surfing lagoon is like a small ocean surrounded by the most lavish tropical landscapes you can imagine, with an idyllic white sandy beach.
Every few minutes in the Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, 6-foot waves are self-generated that douse everyone in their wake. This makes body surfing fun. Surf's up too at the Storm Slides (Min Height 48 inches), as you swish and swirl through dark twisting caves and tunnels as you rage down these body slides.
At Mount Mayday you can shoot through caverns 30 miles per hour on two speed slides called Humunga Kowabunga, (Min Height 48 inches). For a calmer ride you can slip into a tube and float along the river at Castaway Creek, (Children must have adult supervision), for a relaxing trip around the park.
Also of note in Typhoon Lagoon is Shark Reef, a diving pool where guests are invited to sport a scuba mask and swim across the surface of a coral reef which is home to nurse sharks, bonnethead sharks, leopard sharks, tropical fish and plant life. They don't mind when people swim in their tank, but are you brave enough? (You must be at least 10 years old).
You can't leave Typhoon Lagoon without sampling the three Whitewater Raft Rides. You're guaranteed to get wet on Gangplank Falls, Mayday Falls and Keelhaul Falls. (Min Height 48 inches).
For the kids, Ketchakiddee Creek is designed for shrimp sized little squirts. It is a kiddie area with small slides, geysers and fountains.
Every Friday night guests can dance on the sand at Club Typhoon, the best beach party of the year with a combination of music from a local radio station, activities and water fun from 7.00PM to 11.00PM. Daily admission does not include this event and tickets can be purchased from Typhoon Lagoon for $13.50.
