Making Waves


Typhoon Lagoon is many things, but to quote an article on the opening of the park from the Summer 1989 issue of Disney News magazine, "probably the most spectacular attraction at the park is the lagoon itself."


"Permanently agitated by the storm, it has become the largest inland surfing lagoon in the world - twice the size of a football field, and large enough to encompass an ocean liner - with the world's largest artificially created waves - up to 6 1/2 feet high."


"The focal point of the lagoon is a shipwrecked fishing boat, Miss Tilly out of Safen Sound, FL, teetering 95 feet in the air atop Mt. Mayday."

  1. I think the ship is the "Miss Tilly" if I am not mistaken...
