Exploring Typhoon Lagoon, you'll come across several places of business, among them the Typhoon Boatworks. Of course, it's all a facade. The various sheds and structures that make up this boat repair facility actually enclose the pump house and other mechanics behind the enormous Typhoon Lagoon wave pool.
On the surface, though, are hundreds of details that help tell the story of this place, from the collection of tools in the work area to the boat for sale (with the sign stating the obvious... "Needs Work"). There are bits and pieces here, blown in from all over the world.
One particularly interesting item is the plaque displayed for Pilot International. Pilot International is a service organization, founded in 1921. Today, Pilot International works to promote awareness and prevention of brain-related disorders. The group takes its name and inspiration from river boat pilots of the period, who were known for steering a "true course" through challenging conditions (a perfect thematic fit for Typhoon Lagoon as well).
