 Disney
legend has it that after a freak winter storm blanketed the area with
snow, Florida's first ski resort was born. When temperatures returned to
normal, the powdery snow turned to slippery slush. Slalom courses,
bobsled and toboggan runs became downhill waterslides. The chair lift
carried swimmers instead of skiers. The ski jump became the tallest,
fastest waterslide in the nation. You are invited to what has become
Disney's Blizzard Beach, the most slushy, slippery,
exhilarating beach water park anywhere! |

Chairlift
Wooden-bench
chair lifts sporting colorful overhead umbrellas and snow skis on their
underside were converted from ski-resort to beach-resort use, and now
carry guests over the craggy face of Mount Gushmore.
|
|
Cool Runners
A wide-open
slide area created by rapidly melting snow mounds (moguls).
|
|
Cross Country Creek
Kick back and
"chill" in an inner tube on this gently meandering river that flows
around the entire Park. Bask in the warmth of the sun. Use the Creek as
a transportation system to effortlessly get from one area of the Park to
the next or just ride along and watch the world drift slowly by.
|
|
Melt Away Bay
Splash around
in a one-acre bobbing wave pool. It's nestled against the base of Mount
Gushmore, and is constantly fed by "melting snow" waterfalls.
|
|
Runoff Rapids
Hop onto an
inner-tube run and careen down twisting, turning flumes. Challenge two
open slides and one enclosed "black hole."
|
|
Ski Patrol Training Camp
Designed for
pre-teens with a rope swing, a T-bar, culvert slides and a challenging
ice-flow walk along slippery, floating icebergs.
|
|
Slush Gusher
Accelerate
with each drop as you decend the snow-banked Mount Gushmore along this
double-humped water slide that begins 90 feet above the beach.
|
|
Snow Stormers
Three flumes
(350 feet long) descend from the top of the mountain and follow a
switchback course through ski-type slalom gates. Mat pickup at the top
of attraction.
|
|
Summit Plummet
Get set for an
exhilirating 55-mph plunge straight down to a splash landing at the base
of the mountain. The 120-foot-tall "ski jump" beckons you from anywhere
in the Park. Will you answer the challenge?
|
|
Teamboat Springs
The world's longest
family white-water raft ride takes three- to five-passenger rafts down a
twisting, 1,200-foot series of rushing waterfalls. Don't worry. You're
all going down together!
|
|
Tike's Peak
Little kids
are invited to have mountains of fun in this water play area. The
youngest Blizzard Beach goers can slide, splash and swim while sunning
in the "snow" in this spot reserved just for them. Gentle body slides,
an inner tube slide, interactive fountains, pop jets and a wading pool
ensure a chillin' good time.
|
|
Toboggan Racers
An eight-lane,
250-foot-long race to the finish as riders speed slide head-first
through the "snowy" slopes. |
