Disney Blizzard
Beach
 Blizzard
Beach is Disney's second water park and the most innovative
water park that Disney has to offer. Blizzard Beach is themed
after a freak snow storm came rushing through Florida. Then
brilliant inventors decided to open a ski resort. The snow
didn't last long so the project was scrapped. But before
they completely tore it down, an alligator was seen barreling
down one of the flumes. This sparked an idea to the inventers
to open a water park. The alligator was then named Ice gator.
This alligator soon became the icon of Blizzard Beach.
Blizzard Beach has been the #2 best water park in the nation
for 3 years in a row. Blizzard Beach is built on an artificial
hill called Mount Gushmore. This hill is actually the fifth
highest point in Florida. Mount Gushmore is separated into
three slopes; the green slope, the red slope, and the purple
slope. These color coded sections are to help guest identify
where there are in the park. The largest and only
ski slope in Florida became the largest and fastest waterslide
in the country.
The atmosphere is that of an alpine
snow village so every one here is laid back. Enjoy the thrilling
water slides and the mystical aura. Blizzard Beach is by
far the best water park to visit when you're in Disney.
Throughout the year, as long as the park remains open, you
can expect the water temperatures to remain above 80 degrees.
