Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Storm Slides 'Rudder Buster' Walt Disney World!

Take a POV (point of view) ride down the 'Rudder Buster' Storm Slide at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon at the Walt Disney World resort in Florida. The park, which opened on June 1, 1989, is home to the world's largest outdoor wave pool. The theme of the park is the "Disney legend" of a typhoon that wreaked havoc upon a formerly pristine tropical paradise. Ships, fishing gear and surfboards are strewn about where the storm flung them. The centerpiece of the park is "Miss Tilly," a shrimp boat impaled upon a mountain named "Mount Mayday" that erupts a 50-foot (15 m) geyser of water every half hour, right before the bells of the watch sound on Miss Tilly. The parks’ mascot is named “Lagoona Gator” who is related to[clarification needed] Blizzard Beach’s mascot Ice Gator.
