BREAKING: Fastpass-Like Virtual Queue System Being Tested at WDW Water Parks

WDWNT on April 6, 2017

A “virtual queue system” is being tested at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon beginning today, March 28, through April 7, 2017. According to Disney, “Virtual queuing systems are designed to enable users to reserve a place in line for an attraction without physically waiting in the queue, providing an enhanced Guest experience and more time for additional experiences.” Sounds a lot like Fastpass…

The virtual queue test will include Downhill Double Dipper, Slush Gusher, and Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach, and Miss Adventure Falls at Typhoon Lagoon.

We’ll post more information on this test of the new system as we receive it. If you happen to experience this system in the water parks today, let us know in the comments!

WDWNT on March 6, 2017

The highly-anticipated new water ride at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, Miss Adventure Falls, will be opening with the park on March 12th, 2017.

The final touches to the ride are being added this coming week. Down below is a look at one of the artifacts from the collection of Captain Mary Oceaneer, who is a sea-faring treasure hunter whose haul was caught in a rogue typhoon. Her character is part of the backstory behind the new ride, which includes ties to the Society of Adventurers and Explorers.

It’s just one of the precious treasures you will spot from your four-person raft, as you twist and turn on this fun-filled white-water experience. Stay tuned as more details are realesed in the coming days for this new attraction.

Concept Art Released for Renamed “Miss Adventure Falls” at Typhoon Lagoon

WDWNT on January 16, 2017

Formerly Miss Fortune Falls, the new attraction coming to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon in 2017 now has a new name and new concept art.

Miss Adventure Falls family raft ride at Typhoon Lagoon

Miss Adventure Falls is an all-new, family-raft attraction owned by Captain Mary Oceaneer—a sea-faring treasure hunter whose haul was caught in a rogue typhoon and scattered across this tropical paradise years ago. Mary Oceaneer is a member of the Society of Adventurers and Explorers, made famous in various attractions around the world including Mystic Manor, the Jungle Navigation Ltd. Skipper Canteen, and Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, so the S.E.A. should tie-in in some fun ways in this new ride.

From your 4-person raft, feel a rush of excitement with family and friends as an aquatic conveyor belt chutes you into action. Then, hold on tight as you spy precious artifacts collected from all around the globe. If you’re lucky enough, you may even meet the captain’s old diving partner—an Audio-Animatronic parrot who’s still hunting for treasures at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park to this day.

Typhoon Lagoon to Host “Teen Beach Movie 2” Beach Party

WDWNT on May 5, 2015

As part of the Coolest Summer Ever at Walt Disney World Resort, a new summertime dance party inspired by Disney Channel’s upcoming Teen Beach 2 (sequel to the popular Teen Beach Movie) will hit the beach at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park.

From May 22 through July 5, guests can join in the “Teen Beach 2:” Beach Party at various times throughout day. The fun includes “bikers” and “surfers” who dance and play beach-themed games with guests as a DJ spins remixes of retro tunes. Taking over part of Typhoon Lagoon’s main beach area, guests can participate in relays on the sand, hula hoop spinning, water balloon and beach ball tossing, and the grooviest dance moves this side of Mt. Mayday.

Premiering this summer on Disney Channel, Teen Beach 2 is set months after surfer sweethearts Mack and Brady return from a summer adventure that transported them into Brady’s favorite 1960s beach party movie, “Wet Side Story,” only to receive a surprise real-world visit from Lela, Tanner, Butchy and their other new-found surfer and biker buddies.

WDWNT on July 17, 2013

Starting Monday, June 24, guests of Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park can enjoy a taste of the new Disney Channel Original Movie “Teen Beach Movie” as part of Limited Time Magic.

Running at various times throughout each day through Sept. 1, “Teen Beach Movie”: Dance Party will feature a hip DJ spinning remixes of retro tunes, beach-y-themed games and some really rad “bikers” and “surfers” to party with guests as they dance away the dog days. Taking over part of Typhoon Lagoon’s main beach and wave pool area, guests can participate in relays on the sand, hula hoop spinning, water balloon and beach ball tossing, and the grooviest dance moves this side of Mt. Mayday.

“Teen Beach Movie,” a modern take on classic beach party movies, premieres Friday, July 19, on Disney Channel. Starring are Ross Lynch (of Disney Channel’s “Austin & Ally” and Hollywood Records’ R5) and Maia Mitchell (ABC Family’s “The Fosters”) as Brady and McKenzie, surfers who take the last wave of summer, one that mysteriously takes them into a classic beach party movie, Wet Side Story. Brady and McKenzie must try to return to present day, but their lives may be changed forever when they inadvertently change the movie’s romantic storyline.
