Blizzard Beach
This water park ranks #2 in the
United States. Think of
Florida, and the word "SNOW" does not naturally come to mind.
This whimsical water park is built on the concept of a freak
winter storm dropping snow over the western side of Walt Disney
World, just north of the All Star Resorts. An immediate plan is
made to open a ski resort. Things do not go as planned, however,
as temperatures soar and the ice and snow rapidly melt. The ski
resort is ready to close, until the operators spot a playful
alligator sliding down the "liquid ice" slopes and realize that
the melting snow is creating the tallest and fastest
water-filled ski and toboggan runs in the world. From this
concept, the ski resort/water park adventure was born.
Ski slalom courses, bobsled and
sledding runs become downhill water slides. Chair lifts carry
swimmers to the top of the slides. Melting snow reveals sandy
beaches, a pre-teen play area and many other activities. The
best part about this winter-themed water park is that the water
stays a toasty and comfortable 80-82 degrees all year round.
