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. This is definitely a great
year for Typhoon Lagoon lovers, as the park also opened a new attraction just a
few days ago.
The Surf Pool:
Typhoon Lagoon's premiere attraction has been completely resurfaced and
equipped with new pumps to ensure "totally tubular" waves for Guests
while further enhancing the safety of both Cast and Guests big and small.
New DirectOARies (Directions + Boat Oars = DirectOARies):
Similar to signage found at Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon now has
additional information for Guests to navigate around the park. By
combining creative theming with Guest information, the park will allow
Guests to efficiently get around to amenities and attractions.
New in-park maps:
With their fresh and vibrant look, the new in-park maps have been added
to the park in an effort to further enhance the Guest experience. No
paper or mobile device is needed to navigate around the park.
Brand new park-entry signs:
A brand new park-entry sign has been added to the Main Entrance. Wood-workings were re painted and rebuilt as well.
Keelhaul Falls:
In efforts to exceed Guest expectations, shades and fans have been added for your coolness in the queue line.
Palms Dining:
Palms Dining has been equipped with new fans to cool off all you Guests as they
await or serve food orders. In addition, misters have been added to the
mug refill stations.
Self-serve locker rental kiosks:
Typhoon Lagoon's self-serve locker rental kiosks have been upgraded with
new and innovative technology. As a result, the screens will now only
be visible within a narrow line of sight.
High N Dry with new amenities:
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.
Castaway Creek:
This year, Castaway Creek was completely drained, painted and
resurfaced. In addition to that, in a continuous effort to improve water
safety, two Lifeguard stands have been overhauled.
Crush 'N' Gusher:
Opened almost 12 years ago, Crush 'N' Gusher has always been a “Daytime
Only” attraction. Now, with the addition of new lighting, Crush 'N'
Gusher will be able to offer Guests a great experience after dark!
Best of all: since the tone of this event is “not-so-scary,” that means children of every age can enjoy the fun!
