Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park, one of 2 Water Parks in Walt Disney World Resort, features one of the world's tallest and fastest free-falling waterslides, as well as slides and rides for the whole family like a kid-sized, snow-castle fountain play area with scaled-down versions of the more thrilling attractions.
The story behind Disney's Blizzard Beach begins with a freak snow storm that blanketed Florida. Within the blink of a snowflake-tipped eye, a ski resort sprang up with slalom courses, toboggan slides and iceberg walkways. Then, just as quickly, the weather shifted back to hot. The whole resort started to melt. What to do?
An
enterprising alligator saw an
opportunity! Clad in a scarf and
hat, this Ice Gator slid down the
snow-less ski jump, shouting 'Yahoooo!'
all the way. With a big splash he
landed in a pool of melted snow
below the mountain. It was at this
moment the slushy, slippery slopes
became an exhilarating Water Park
with a ski theme.
