Disney's Blizzard Beach
|
|
|
 |
|
You may not associate bathing
suits with ski slopes, but that's the perfect attire when heading to
Disney's Blizzard Beach water park.
You see, once upon a time, there was a freak snow storm in Disney World.
Wanting to take advantage of the white stuff, they built a ski resort.
Sadly, the temperatures rose and it looked as if their new venture was
melting away.
Alligators aren't known for winter sports, but an adventurous one
decided to slide down the slippery slope into the pool that formed
below. Realizing that the ski runs could be put to use, Blizzard Beach
was born, or so the story goes. This amazing water park is ranked no. 2
in the U.S.
Blizzard Beach is home to numerous attractions that will fill your heart
with excitement. Try racing down the Downhill Double Dipper with a
friend or unwind on an inner tube in the Cross Country Creek. Kids even
have their own section called Tike's Peak that features small-scale
slides, pop jets and a fountain play area.
The frosty theme is found throughout the park, with former ski slalom
courses and bobsled and sledding runs used as downhill water slides.
Chair lifts carry swimmers to the top of the courses, or you can opt to
use the stairways and do some "mountain climbing." Melting snow reveals
sandy beaches, a pre-teen section, a scaled down kiddie area, and a host
of other activities. While you're surrounded by "ice and snow", the
water stays a toasty and comfortable 80-82 degrees all year round.

Summit Plummet - Found at
the top of Mt. Gushmore, Summit Plummet is the world's
tallest and fastest free-fall slide and definitely not for the faint of
heart. The platform where the slide starts is 30 feet above the peak.
You plummet down the 120 foot vertical portion of the slide reaching
speeds of 60 miles an hour. You continue through a ski chalet before
reaching the bottom in a huge spray of mist. All told, it's 350 feet
till you reach the end. You must be at least 48 inches to ride, and oh
yes, you can expect to have the ultimate wedgie when it's over.
Snow
Stormers - Three 350 feet long flumes descend from the mountain's
peak and follow a switchback course through slalom gates.
Teamboat Springs - This 1200 foot whitewater raft ride, the
world's longest, takes six passengers down a series of twisting and
cascading waterfalls.
Runoff Rapids - Climb aboard an inner tube and rush down this
600-foot course through twisting and turning flumes, passing through
corrugated steel pipes and falling into total darkness at the end.
Slush Gusher - While not as intense as the nearby Summit Plummet,
this is still a challenging course. You'll go over two "moguls" and
reach speeds of up to 50 mph as you careen down this 250-foot
snow-banked mountain channel. Must be at least 48 inches to ride.
Toboggan Racer - You lie on your mat face down and begin your
headfirst slide down the 250 feet waterway. This 8-lane course has some
fun dips as you descend the snow slope.
Downhill Double Dipper - Standing 50 feet high and 230-feet long,
side-by-side racing slides have you traveling at speeds up to 25 mph as
you race against your competitor aboard an inner tube. Time clocks count
off each downhill heat and the runs have audio equipment that signal the
start of each race. You must be 48 inches tall.
Chair Lift - A real chair lift sporting colorful overhead
umbrellas and snow skis on the underside. These lifts will carry you
over the craggy face of Mt. Gushmore from its base at the beach to its
summit. No infants may ride. |

Cross Country Creek - Hop into a complimentary inner tube and enjoy
leisurely floating along the 3,000-foot creek that encircles Blizzard
Beach. If you happen to forget that you're in a "ski resort" you'll get
a jolting reminder when you pass through the ice cave. Watch out for the
drips from the melting icicles. Brrr....
Melt-Away Bay - This one-acre pool nestled against the base of
Mt. Gushmore is constantly fed by "melting snow" waterfalls. There's
gentle wave action, but don't expect to body surf.
Blizzard Beach Ski Patrol Training Camp - This pre-teen area has
a rope swing, a T-bar , culvert slides and a fun ice-flow walk along
slippery, floating icebergs. This is where you'll find Cool
Runners - A wide-open inner tube slide area formed by
rapidly-melting moguls.
Tike's Peak - For the little ones, this kid-sized play are features
scaled-down elements of Mt. Gushmore and includes a snow-castle fountain
play area. Children must be under 4 feet tall. |
