Typhoon Lagoon – Loved It And Want To Go Again

Typhoon Lagoon is a wonderfully themed water park located near the main attraction. The design is that of a paradise in the South sea islands with a nice selection of fast and slow rides water rides so that you can zip along… or float and meander.

The first time I went to Florida this was the place I was most looking forward to going to, where else would you have a water park in the sunshine with themeing that makes the park appears as if a Ski Resort. Disney say that the park was created when:

After a freak snow storm blanketed Florida in white, a ski resort sprang up with slalom courses, toboggan slides and iceberg walkways. When the weather shifted back to hot, the whole resort started to melt. What to do?

An enterprising alligator saw an opportunity. Clad in a scarf and hat, the gator slid down the ski jump, shouting “Yahoooo!” all Continue reading “Blizzard Beach Relived” »
