The Orlando Sentinel reveals that the Shark Reef at Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon will permanently close Oct. 3.
A Disney spokeswoman said closing the shark reef will help make way for a new water ride in the area.
A family-friendly raft ride called Miss Fortune Falls is planned nearby. It is set to open next year.
The cost of running the attraction could have been another factor.
“My guess is it’s expensive and it doesn’t really bring that much in,” said Duncan Dickson, a former Disney executive who now teaches at UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management. “It’s labor intensive. It takes time. My guess is by getting rid of it there’s some labor savings and some maintenance savings you can affect.”
