Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
The back story to Typhoon Lagoon is the tale of a huge storm and a ship stranded high on a mountain by a giant wave – who knew! This 56 acre tropical tanning zone is blessed with a big 4 foot surf wave that runs the entire length of a huge lagoon every few minutes. Nobody seems to mind the wait. On the contrary - they seem to enjoy the anticipation! Unlike the long lines that riders have to endure for the Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, and the like the wave pool's cool waters seem to help keep everyone mellowed out, even on especially hot and humid Florida afternoons. That's part of the appeal of Typhoon Lagoon - it's a great place lounge in the water, chill on a lounge chair and get some sand between your toes. . The immersive tropical theme and lush landscaping everywhere you look simply helps reinforce that.

Mount Mayday
]Mount Mayday, is the towering ‘natural’ rock edifice located behind the giant surf pool. Its craggy features are the resting place for the beleaguered shrimp boat “Miss Tilly” as well as many of the waterfalls and slides. This man-made mountain not only provides launching areas for the water slides but also allows them to hide all the plumbing!
Humunga Kowabunga
More daring souls have to try the Humunga Kowabunga – brace yourself for the slide of your life as you hurtle 214 feet downhill at a 60-degree angle. Holy guacamole! Three side-by-side enclosed body slides provide high-octane thrills, chills and spills for big kids, teens and adults. You won’t know what’s coming next as you zoom downhill in the dark, dropping 5 stories in seconds. It’s guaranteed to make your swimsuit disappear and is consequently a popular gathering place for amused onlookers!

A little more intense than it’s neighbors this one swerves through caves, under bridges and past thundering waterfalls— definitely a rush!
Keelhaul Falls
