Attractions
Typhoon Lagoon
Typhoon Lagoon is a wave pool with an area of 2/5 acres and which holds 2.75 million gallons
of water. There are two sets of waves that are produced in this pool. The first
set is just fun bobbing waves that continue to come.
After a half-hour a loud horn will sound which means the waves will be
changing. At this point guests have changed into 4 foot waves that come at you
with a lot of speed and force.These waves will continue to come every 90
seconds.
Castaway Creek
Castaway Creek is a cool river that circles the entire park. You can pick up an inner tube
at one of the many stops throughout the park to use on this ride. The river is only about 3 or 4
feet deep and runs on a slow current. All you have to do is relax in your
tube and travel around the park. As you flow down the river you will see
tropical trees, plants, banana trees, and palm trees. You will also hear
tropical birds and noises. You will slowly drift through caves, under
waterfalls, and around all the other attractions at the park. You can get off at
any of the many stops.
Humunga Kowabunga
These are two fast-paced and steep waterslides. Although they are not as steep or
fast as Summit Plummet in Blizzard Beach, they are still fun and frightening.
You will zip down this 51-foot drop at speeds of around 30-miles-per-hour.
Shark Reef
Ocean lovers come straight to this attraction! Guests throw on snorkel equipment
and enter this manmade coral reef. You can swim with sharks, sting rays, and
tropical fish. For those who do not want to swim they can go into a sunken
tanker and watch through some small windows.
Storm Slides
The storm slides are normal water slides that go through tunnels, past lush
bushes and past Mt. May Day.
Gangplank, Keelhaul, and Mayday Falls
These are all fun white water rides. You board an inner tube and conquer the turns,
dips, whirlpools, caves, and waterfalls.
