WHAT IT IS: Typhoon Lagoon is a 61-acre themed water recreation attraction -- inspired
by the imagined legend of a typhoon, earthquake and volcanic eruption combining to create
an inland sea with breaker waves (Typhoon Lagoon) and a towering watershed mountain
(Mt. Mayday) atop which is a stranded shrimp boat (the Miss Tilly).
