Typhoon Lagoon was very fun, but we didn't realize how BIG the waves would be! Poor E. We were waiting in the middle of the wave pool for the first wave to come (carefully not crossing the black line, which seemed ridiculously far back from the wave generator). Then, finally, we heard the "poof!" of the first wave, and a pang of fear struck both E and I as the 10-foot tsunami rose and started co,ing toward us. (E is afraid of waves, but we coaxed her in anyway). Terror-stricken, she started beelining to the shore, but I held her (it was too far) and gave her 5 seconds of advice before the huge wave crashed over us. We came up spluttering and then swam to shore, where the wave crashes are only knee deep. J, our water baby, stayed out with E2, happy as a clam.
Besides the usual waterslides and lazy river, the other interesting area was snorkeling with sharks. There was a deep, cold saltwater pond with lots of fish, sharks, and stingrays that we were allowed to go in. It was amazing. The fish would swim right up close, and we had to be careful not to step on the 6-foot ray that decided to visit the entry area.
