Lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon

[draybook]

Do you have to exit the river and then re-enter after you've made a complete loop or is it just a float until you don't want to type deal? Thanks.

I think it is just float until you turn into a raisin....but don't quote me.

 

[Donald96]

Float all you want, and there are multiple entrances/exits! And I have clocked at least two hours in that puppy

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

No you can keep riding it as much as you want. I think I went around about about 8 times once, I think I got a little sunburn too because of it.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Nope stay on as long as you want..As Dory states..

 

[The Empress Lilly]

That thing's got an exit?


Me I just float until CMs start prodding me with long poles to force me out, an hour or two after park closing time.

 

[AndyS2992]

It's continuous flow in a huge circle, float around as much as you want.

Keep going around and around and get out at any number of exits around the park. Fun fun the lazy river!!!

I tend to flip over after every loop, that way I can get burned in all the spots that I missed with the sunscreen.

You can go around all day long, if you like. Same at Blizzard.

That is the problem with the lazy river, lol!! The front of you gets super dark and the back of you is lighter! I have seen a LOT of people at the water parks with burnt fronts and shoulders, but pale back legs and lower backs.

Newbie mistake.

 

[Sans Souci]

Wear loads of sunscreen. I was taking antibiotics for a double ear infection that made me burn easily. I just chilled out in the lazy river for an hour or so. I was a reddish purple when I got out and all the Solarcaine in the world couldn't help me that night.

Thank you all, this is fantastic news! At Six Flags St. Louis you have to exit and re-enter the lazy river if you're using the free public tubes.

Which makes me think...

On a more general note, WDW's water parks feel blissfully untouched by modern WDW's mean and sorry operational style. TL and BB are too crowded, but otherwise oases of classic Disney charm. Striking that wonderous balance between calm and exuberance that is a hallmark of the best of WDW.

Once you enter the main gate, you can just relax without a worry on your mind. No fastpasses, no deadlines, no closed classics for franchise rubbish. No timer on your relaxed lazy river ride. Complete bliss.

Could not have said it better. As my kids aged my DH and I would spin around the lazy river, phone in a ziplock plastic bag just in case, as the kids ventured off into water slide heaven. I love both parks for different reasons, TL, calm and tranquil theming, love the wave pool. BB is just themed so perfectly to a blizzard, much like winterland mini golf and thankfully without sand like TL.

What do you mean, "without sand"? I'm confused.

 

[Communicore]

The last time I was in here, maybe around 1993, there were people relieving themselves in the lazy river, and we never went back.

There is so much sand at Typhoon vs Blizzard, I'm not a big fan of sand at water parks. But in a heartbeat I'll take the lazy river at Typhoon over Blizzard.

 

[Mrsdonaldduck]

Ahhhhh good question @draybook was wondering the same thing! Very cool!

Curious! How did you know? And why do you think that every public pool or body of water you have ever seen, doesn't have that same thing happening? It's one of the primary reasons for the use of chlorine in the water.
