A new Notice of Commencement permit has been filed for Humunga Kowabunga at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park.
The permit, filed with Orange County, lists ProSlide Technology as the contractor. ProSlide serves as Disney's primary supplier for water park slides across both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
The permit describes the work as "General Construction," leaving the exact nature of the project unknown. This broad description could indicate routine maintenance or a complete slide replacement.
Humunga Kowabunga consists of three side-by-side speed slides that drop riders down a 214-foot slope at speeds up to 30 mph. The attraction has been a fixture at Typhoon Lagoon since the park opened in 1989.
Typhoon Lagoon will close for its annual refurbishment starting February 15, 2026. During this closure, Blizzard Beach will reopen to provide water park access.
Disney announced last week that both water parks will operate simultaneously from May 26 through September 8, 2026. This marks a return to dual operations during the summer season.
