Blizzard Beach vs Typhoon Lagoon

[Gnome]

Looking at possible options of going to one of the waterparks at Walt Disney World Resort and was wondering, if I decided to choose one (and only one) which of the 2 would be THE place to go to, I'd love to go to both, but unfortunately its just not in the cards.... baby.

 

So I want to do blizzard beach because they have some sweet theming and some pretty cool slides, but Typhoon Lagoon has that water coaster, and I've always wanted to try one of those, and it has more than just that as well, obviously, but help my decide which is the better experience. Don't just vote though, give a reason why you think one park is better, otherwise the poll is just a bunch of numbers to me and it won't mean anything...

Typhoon Lagoon is a fun park but Blizzard Beach has bigger slides. Crush'n Gusher and the wave pool are the onle good slides at Typhoon Lagoon.

Typhoon Lagoon

Pros

-Amazing theming

-Fun slides

-The best wavepool ever

-Clean

-Not too crowded

Cons

-There aren't too many slides

 

Blizzard Beach

Pros

-Very creative theming

-Tons of cool slides. Some are very intense.

Cons

-Can be very crowded

-Somewhat dirty (however, I have only been once)

 

You can't really go wrong with either one. If you want a more relaxing day where you feel like you're in a tropical paradise, choose Typhoon Lagoon. If you want a more action packed day, choose Blizzard Beach.

Last time I went was a long time ago, but I remember I liked blizzard beach a lot better. Awesome slides and stuff.

I prefer Blizzard Beach by miles. Summit Plummet alone is worth the visit. The theming is extensive and everywhere, and there's several big slide towers besides Summit Plummet.

Make a decision based on what you want.

 

Blizzard Beach is neat to look at, but honestly I thought it catered more to familys and kids. The wave pool is tiny, with small waves. There are a bunch of small kiddie slides, and an always over crowded lazy river.

 

BB does have the huge speed slide- if you like those (I think they cause more pain then excitment). The racing slides are fun, and the family raft slide is great, however the park is small and always packed, expect long lines for everything. BB is a good park, but from the opinion of an adult male, far from the best.

 

Typhoon on the other hand offers deeper water (like in the lazy river, snorkle reef, and wave pool). This park is beautiful, very well landcaped and themed. The park is also huge, so typically seems less crowded.

 

True there is not a speed slide the size of BB's, but Typhoon does have a tall speed slide that offers the same ride expereince as Summit Plummet (pain). And despite what people say the two parks have a compairable number of slides. Typhoon just makes you search for them- which is half the fun, walking through jungles and over cliffs with huge susppension bridges to get to the slides. Lines tend to be shorter and faster moving.

 

The two best attractions are; Crushing Guster Slushy Mustard- or what ever the name is- water coaster. It is better than Summit Plummet by a long shot. And then the wave pool. The waves are HUGE, and I mean HUGE! Plus the pool is eep, and just overall better for an older audience.

 

So choose which expereinces you would enjoy. For my money I would only ever pay to get into Typhoon again. I would only go back to Blizzard if it were free.

 

Have a good time!
