Typhoon Lagoon - Surfs Up!!!

Advantages: Loads to do in a day

...Introduction ************ Disney?s Typhoon Lagoon has been open since 1988. It has been regarded as the number 1 theme parks for the last few years running and has continued to do so. Playing the Part ****************** All of Disney?s theme parks always have a theme which is a story to how the park came to be or something to bring children?s imaginations to life. Typhoon Lagoon follows the story that there is a massive storm that takes place and various objects, buildings and boats such as Miss Tilly get blown to a new location where it creates Typhoon Lagoon. Attractions ************* Castaway Creek ? The Castaway Creek covers the entire park making a very large circle that takes 20 minutes for a person to get around under the speed of the current. The circuit consists of five different landing that people can get...

Review of Typhoon Lagoon

Marooned in Typhoon Lagoon

Advantages: Fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...The first theme park on my trip to Orlando was Typhoon Lagoon. I had last been there in about 1992 so was interested to see it again. Typhoon Lagoon is part of the Disney family and was opened in 1989. The idea behind the park is that it was created as the result of a huge storm which caused the rapids to form and the boats to be blown there from a nearby fishing village. As with everything Disney, this is another land of make believe! LOCATION: Typhoon Lagoon is part of the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. You can reach Disney World many ways, although we used hire car. Driving there is very simple and Walt Disney World is signposted straight off the I4 (the main road passing through Orlando). The nearest airport is Orlando International, to which many airlines fly direct from the UK. You can get shuttles from...

Typhoon Splashtastic

Advantages: great fun, lots of things to do
Disadvantages: none

...Typhoon Lagoon is one of the three water parks held in the Disney Park area. The others ones are Blizzard Beach and River Country. I have to say though this was my favourite of the two. FOOD Around the different areas there will be somewhere for cocktails, pastries or even hot food. When I was there I went to a food stall beside the main pool which sold hotdogs, turkey legs and drinks. It wasn't very expensive and it was nice. There was nowhere to sit though, you sat on a sunbed on the beach, or chairs. The day I went here I prayed for it to be sunny, and I was very lucky it was one of the hottest days of my holiday. Anyway, you go into the entrance get changed and put your items into your locker. You then usually make your way into A-Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool-this was the pool I spent most of my day in. When I was...

Review of Typhoon Lagoon

Sounds Like a Typhoon in a Scrap Yard

Advantages: Looks stylish
Disadvantages: Noisy

...at £70 the Typhoon VC9480 seemed like a good deal. All I knew was that I wanted a bagless cleaner that was not too powerful. The design of this cleaner is a Bagless cyclonic type with an easy to empty trigger release dust canister I've had this cleaner for nearly twelve months and I have to say my opinion about it is mixed. It still works OK but it always feels like it is about to break ino pieces every time I use it. Every part seems like it's made from plastic and although it looks good in photographs, once you get it out of the box it does have a rather cheap look about it. The thing I dislike most of all though is the excessive noise produced by its 2000 Watt motor. This is a very noisy machine. I actually find it stressful to use on account of the noise and you always feel you're disturbing the neighbours? in the next street. I...

Review of Typhoon VC9480

Hit by a powerful Typhoon!!!

Advantages: Very powerful and great for pet hair
Disadvantages: can be a bit noisy.

...available. Looking through the various brands available, one stood out as being really good value with high quality features. It is called 'Typhoon' and is Freemans exclusive brand. They have a large range at varying prices depending on what features you want and are available in upright or cylinder models. I have always had uprights in the past, but looking at them, it made more sense to try a cylinder model as they are smaller and easier to move around, especially as I have such a small amount of carpet. The main features of this particular model as advertised are : - * Constant cyclonic suction power with a double size 3.0 litre dust grabbing capacity, with a dust full indicator and a one touch emptying facility. * Automatic build up to full power, with new soft start technology to control the build up to full power...

Make a splash at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon

Advantages: Great fun and gret rides
Disadvantages: Long queues and lack of dining facilities

...What is Typhoon lagoon? It's one of Disney's three water parks at Walt Disney World (WDW) and in my opinion definitely the best with the best rides and the most fun theme! Legend has it that Typhoon Lagoon was formed when a typhoon hit Florida and left the water behind and has left a ship struck on top of a hill (watch it when the ship blows!!) Getting into the park is great fun as you walk through a rain forest before you arrive in a magical tropical town (if you squint you could almost be in the Bahamas!!) What is there to do? There is a really good mix of activities here for all ages. If you are feeling very brave then ride the water slides. The Humunga Kowabunga speed slides really do test the bravest adults and children and are absolutely awesome. Tip: Don't ride this straight after lunch and make sure your swim...

Typhoon Lagoon Review

Advantages: A nice variety of activities, jolly atmosphere, perfect for families, good transport (from disney resort hotels in particular), accomadates all ages!
Disadvantages: Must mind your feet in the surf pool on the rough flooring, fast food, quite expensive but average for the area, queue times

...Typhoon Lagoon, the newest and largest of the water parks in Disney, is a great theme park for a family day out. Me and my family went their last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Typhoon Lagoon has a good, well thoughtout layout and it is extreamley easy to find what your looking for. The park is set around the surf pool, which I believe has a set of waves every 90 seconds and is as big as 2 football fields. If you fancy it, you can now also surf in the surf pool for 2 hours for an extra charge when the park is closed. The first main attraction when you walk through the gates is the "Castaway Creek" lazy-river style ride which runs around the perimeter of the surf pool. It took us just under an hour to do and took us through some wonderful scenery including things like caves and rivers. You basically just relax in a rubber...

Review of Typhoon Lagoon

Making a Splash

Advantages: Good selection of things to do.
Disadvantages: None

...I am not really a fan of water parks in general. I am not a particularly strong swimmer and I have to wear glasses as I am very short-sighted so all in all they are not places that I go out of my way to visit. However the Disney water parks are in a different league altogether and I visit them quite happily. I do not know how much a days entry is as we always buy a Disney Pass for our holiday that covers entry. However the car-parking is free which is unusual on a Disney Property. Typhoon Lagoon is probably my favourite of the two Disney parks. The park is built with the theme that a huge storm happened which impaled a fishing boat on top of a mountain and the resulting tides and rapids have continued. The setting is like a tropical island. There are lots of palm trees set around sandy beaches with tropical music drifting...

TYPHOON MyGuide 3500 mobile

Advantages: PDA As well, Easily portable, full colour screen, Audio
Disadvantages: Difficult to get started, have to install software manually

...I got given this as a christmas present as i am useless at getting anywhere in my car without someone telling me where to go as i just forgot where to go! I was expecting to this little toy to be the nuts, i was just so dissapointed by it. I will start off with what i liked about this product first. Firstly, although i didn't really need a PDA, it was nice to have one incase i needed to write anything down/store something important as i never have a pen or piece of paper in my car. There are so many different functions with this piece of kit, it is unbelieveable, i won't go into everything as its easily findable on the net, i believe the website is, www.typhoon.de . When i finally got the software working, the voice telling you which way to turn gives you plenty of notice, about 100 yards, and repeats as you get even closer. The map...
