Typhoon Lagoon New Raft Ride - Miss Adventure Falls

[ChrisM]

I'm not expert, but once it comes time to install the slide pieces, I assume that's a rather simple connection process?

I'd recommend keeping your side pieces as separate as possible.

OH, you said slide pieces. Never mind.

Wonderful news! I heard something is in the works for Blizzard Beach (finally!) too!

Any new info on this? It's great to see Typhoon Lagoon getting some love and it would be nice to see both water parks with additions (especially with the competition up the road);

Nothing further to report. Maybe next Christmas?

I have to ask the question... Typhoon Lagoon has the Crush and Gusher, and now getting Miss Fortune Falls... Are they planning on trying to bring Blizzard Beach up to a similar level?
Blizzard Beach doesn't seem to have nearly the amount of attractions...I would think they would want to balance them and keep both parks relevant...

 

[Marlins1]

I agree. Teamboat Springs is great and the ski lift is a cool feature but the rest of the rides at Blizzard are pretty basic and average. Needs something new on the level of Crush n Gusher. Miss Fortune sounds like a perfect add for TL.

Miss Fortune Falls should be similar to Teamboat Springs (at BB). It was always the much better family raft ride compared to Gang Plank Falls. I don't disagree that BB could use something on the level of Crush N Gusher though.

Speaking of which, are they keeping Gang Plank Falls once Miss Fortune Falls opens? Seems like it would be superfluous.

Boy, a Crush N Gusher style slide themed to bobsledding sure would go great on the backside of the mountain, particularly in that space you overlook while in line for Teamboat Springs. Who wants to greenlight my project?

Was there any particular reason why Typhoon was chosen to receive a new attraction over Blizzard Beach? Just curious if there was a reason or not and if it was even one over the other. And of course for all we know they have plans for BB too.

It was the suitable site for the proposed project and they wanted an excuse to remove Shark Reef.

Thank you

 

[Marlins1]

Well the ride type was needed more in TL.

I thought this was a new area?

 

[ToTBellHop]

It is. But something new in one area provides cover to remove something old.

 

[Master Yoda]

It is. But something new in one area provides cover to remove something old.

Which stinks. The Shark Reef was the epitome of the "Disney Difference".

Indeed.

Looks like we have a name change to "Miss Adventure Falls"

https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2017/01/spring-has-sprung-early-at-walt-disney-world-resort/

And early spring at Walt Disney World Resort this year also means shedding your winter jackets and heading to the water parks and riding a brand new attraction at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon called Miss Adventure Falls. The new family-style raft attraction – set to open in March – will be one of the longest Disney water park experiences as it immerses you in the story of treasure-hunting heroine Captain Mary Oceaneer. During each white-water adventure, you’ll be able to spot some of the treasures Captain Oceaneer gathered from around the world. ​

Miss Fortune worked much better as a pun...

That's too bad, I thought the other name was very fun. Plus it was really original; the word "adventure" in theme park attractions is almost reaching a point of tackiness as it's just the most obvious thing you can name it no matter what the experience is.

 

[WDWFREAK53]

Ummm...treasure-hunting is the theme... Fortune works WAY better than Adventure.

 

[Kman101]

LOL, the former name was better. Why the change?
