Disneys Typhoon Lagoon Introduces Changes After Refurbishment

After Typhoon Lagoon closed for its annual refurbishment back in December 2016, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon continued to be busy as construction crews worked hard to bring a number of enhancements to some of the water park's best attractions and amenities. In addition to installing new signs and maps, some of the queues around the water park received new cooling fans, pools and slides were repainted and tweeted up, and more.

New amenities have been added to High N Dry rentals to allow Guests to purchase cooled beverages. “Clam-Shell” beds will now be available for rent near the Super Cabana by Crush N Gusher. Each bed features a tucked away beach and drink table realy cool.

Disney now testing Virtual Queues

Disney  now testing Virtual Queues at  Walt Disney World Water Parks - Typhoon lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
similar in concept to FastPass+ virtual queues allow guests to reserve a place in line without actually standing in a line. 
The notable difference between a Virtual Queue and FastPass+ is that a ride cannot be reserved ahead of arrival at the park, and it is not digital. Think of the experience more like pagers at a restaurant. Disney has offered a similar experience for the standby line playground at the Magic Kingdom's Dumbo, and for Santa meet and greets at Disney Springs.
The Virtual Queue test will take place until April 7 2017 at Blizzard Beach's Downhill Double Dipper, Slush Gusher and Summit Plummet. At Typhoon Lagoon, the test will be at the new Miss Adventure Falls.

Miss Adventure Falls, is a new family-friendly water attraction located at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, is now taking guests of all ages on a high-seas journey. Miss Adventure Falls brings to life the story of Captain Mary Oceaneer, a treasure-hunting heroine and world-famous oceanographer who made it her goal to sail the seven seas and collect treasures to share with the rest of the world. Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon became the home to Captain Mary’s ship after a rogue typhoon swept it and some of her artifacts to shore, where the locals then repurposed the goods and statues to create this fun, family raft adventure. In a first for a water attraction in Florida, guests are transported via a conveyor belt  while seated in their rubber treasure rafts  to the top of the slide, passing by Mary’s wrecked ship where her parrot and diving partner Duncan talks alongside their treasures. From there, this white-water adventure takes them through twists, turns ups and downs where they will see deep-sea artifacts that Captain Mary collected on her many treasure hunts around the world. With a ride time of two minutes, Miss Adventure Falls is the longest attraction at Typhoon Lagoon so far..
