Typhoon
Lagoon is one of two Disney owned water parks in Orlando.
The park is themed on a tropical town that has been ravaged
by a typhoon. The park has ten water slides. These are split
into two speed slides, four corkscrew slides, three tube rides
and a children's rapids ride. Compared to the other Disney
park 'Blizzard Beach' this park has less extreme slides but
a superior young children's area. It also has the best surf
and wave pools in Orlando. If you want a thrilling water park
day at Disney you are better off at Blizzard Beach, but if
you want a less extreme day and have young children Typhoon
Lagoon is more appealing. It is worth noting that Typhoon
Lagoon also has far less concrete and far more shade than
Blizzard Beach to help make it more relaxing.

Blizzard
Beach is the second Disney water park in Orlando. It is themed
on a ski resort, which although bizarre, provides a fun and
interesting setting. The park has bigger and more exciting
slides than Typhoon Lagoon. It is very comparable with the
other extreme park Wet 'n Wild. The popularity of the parks
slides makes it sensible to get to the park for its opening
at peak times of the year. Lines are much shorter in the the
first few hours of the day, but can build to frustrating levels
from late morning and on through the afternoon.

Wet 'n Wild is comparable with Blizzard Beach as the best water
slide park in Orlando. It also has the second best (to Typhoon
Lagoon) surf and wave pools in Orlando. It lacks Disney quality
theming and is a little cluttered but has the big plus of opening
much later. During the Summer the park is open until 11pm, the
other three parks shut between 5pm and 8pm. This allows you
to have a much longer day and provides a second chance at shorter
lines at the end as well as the start of the day.

Water Mania is a nicely landscaped park with cheaper entrance
and less crowding than the other three parks. The parks slides
are better than Typhoon Lagoon but not as big and exciting as
the other two parks. The less crowding is very attractive at
peak times of year which coupled with cheaper entrance makes
Water Mania a great park for those not needing Disney theming
or the most extreme slides. The parks unique attraction is a
stationary surfing pool.
