 This
56-acre water park would most likely be the choice of FISH
if they could choose an amusement park, as Typhoon Lagoon
features some of the wettest and wildest attractions at
Walt Disney World. Before Blizzard Beach opened, Typhoon
Lagoon was the largest water park on property. It is still
immensely popular, with its twisting tides, roaring rapids,
wonderful waterways and relaxing rivers. Typhoon Lagoon
also features a special area where guests can snorkel among
live sharks and other tropical fish. Excluding the snorkeling
area, all water is heated to a toasty 75-80 degrees year-round. Castaway
Creek - This 2100-foot continuous river
raft ride lets guests aboard inner tubes meander through
rain forests, caves, open grottos, waterfalls and a waterworks
area. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Gangplank Falls - Huge inner tubes holding four guests
careen down rapids and through special water effects and

Keel Haul Falls - Hop aboard your inner tube and slide
down one of the "soft foam" slides, passing through

Guests ride in two person rafts, choosing between three different slides that range from 410 to 420 feet long, the Banana Blaster, Coconut Crusher or Pineapple Plunger. Each section propels you through twists and turns, tunnels and spillways as you slip and slide towards the final thrilling plunge into Hideaway Bay. You'll encounter water jets that will push you backwards while careening down this wild waterway.
