New ride at Typhoon

[WR1]

I just returned home from another trip to WDW! I miss it already..... I was speaking with a lifeguard at Typhoon and she was telling me how they are planning to build a water rollercoaster of some sort there... According to her Typhoon will close at the end of the season, (I'm guessing in October or near then) and reopen in March. Sounds pretty cool to me!

Sounds interesting. Typhoon Lagoon is already a very nice water park and if this new ride blends in well with the landscaping, it should be a welcome addition.

Not having done a Disney waterpark, we are looking at trying Typhoon Lagoon this trip.
We are thinking it might be a good idea to try on one of the busy days around Thanksgiving. Hopefully a lot of the holidaymakers will be doing the 'Dry' parks.

I have heard there is a lot of construction equipment round the back of TL ready for expansion so this WaterCoaster looks like part of that.

Brizzle you'll love them both!
Make sure you have plenty of Sun Screen / Cream.

Red hot, but you don't feel it because of the water!!


The Watercoaster sounds Fab!

Typoon lagoon and Blizzard Beach are both really great, my family have a great time.
They are always at the top of our list of things to do when we go to Florida.
I'm sure you will all have a wonderful time [msnsmile2]

Any idea when the new ride will be completed ?

We've got a few holidays booked next year, and it would be a nice suprise for the kid's & hubby.

We think Typhoon Lagoon is the best Disney water park, so the bonus of a new ride will be fantastic. [8D]

Visited Typhoon Lagoon September 22, arrived about 10.40am , absolutly heaving. Hubby found a quiet spot over the back with hundreds of unoccupied beds , and remained like that for the rest of the day ( I think it was the smoking area - it didn`t bother us though) although near to the construction work it`s screened off from the park so you don`t notice it. It turned out to be one of the nicest chilled days of the holiday.
Definately a revisit next May.

Wheres the best place to sit ie shady and near loos and food at Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach as we have not been to either of them and dont really want to spend lot of time trying to find the right spot to sit? Is there lots of good places to get something to eat or can we take in our own food to eat? [drinkpepsi]

off at the weekend, plan to do both TL & BB, found out on another thread that BB is closing for maintenance on 24th Oct, glad I found out, we can make sure we go before it closes!

cheers

We love both Typhoon + Blizzard, and as there are only the 2 of us now, we don't bother picking a spot. We hire a locker, shove the minimal amount of gear into that + towel, and then yee harr for the rest of the day. If we need a sit down, we grab a tube and go fer a 'bob' in the floaty pool that goes round the outside. [msncool]
