Do you mean "Typhoon Lagoon?" Totally different league.
The amusement parks in NE really operate full-tilt for just
3 months or so during the year, making them 1) much smaller
and 2) probably less profitable than parks that reach a
national market, like WDW or 6 Flags. For the same reason,
New England has few zoos.
