Blizzard Beach Water Park
The BEST Disney Water Park!
Blizzard Beach water park is great to visit on a hot day! There's more
than enough to fill a day here in this Disney water park.
Blizzard Beach Florida is themed on an Alpine ski resort!
Out of both the Disney World water parks, Blizzard Beach Florida is the
best for thrill slides! It's also the most popular water park in
Orlando for all round family fun.

There's a "legend" made by Disney that a freak snow storm hit Florida
and the states' first ski resort was built.
Of course the snow soon
began to melt and the waterlogged park was due to close, when an
alligator was seen sliding down one of the slopes and they decided to
keep it open as a water park.
The pinnacle of the resort is Mount Gushmore that stands 90ft tall.
This is where the majority of the slides are. The mountain is color
coded to help you find where you are! One slope is green, one purple
and one red.
At ground level you'll find a long lazy river that encircles the entire
park, a large wave pool (pictured above) and several kids play areas.
Blizzard Beach Water Park:
Thrill Slides
Summit Plummet pictured below, is the USA's tallest
and fastest free-fall water slide! You’re brave if you want to try
this! At 13 storeys high - that's 120ft - you'll slide feet first down
at 60 mph. You'll land in a pool of water at the base of the 'ski
slope'. You won't shoot off the edge of the slope, even though it looks
like you might!
Slush Gusher Slightly tamer version of Summit
Plummet, this free-fall slide stands 90ft tall and riders will shoot
over two humps - going slightly airborne on the second one!
Double Dipper you'll get to race side-by-side on
this 250ft long slide at speeds up to 25mph.
Tobaggan Racer pictured below, go head first down
this 8-lane 250ft slide. Riders lay on their stomachs on the blue mats
and slide down the course to the bottom of Mt Gushmore.

Family Slides
Run-Off Rapids has three slides - the center one you
must ride alone and it's enclosed most of the way. The two outer slides
can be ridden on either one, two or three person rafts. The center
flume is the fastest!
Chair Lifts (pictured below) will take you one-way
to the summit of Mount Gushmore, where most of the slides begin. Each
chair lift (made to resemble a ski lift) has wooden seats, an umbrella
on the top and a pair of skis underneath! Chairs carry up to 3 people -
must be at least 48" tall to ride alone.
Snow Stormers are three parallel slides that
resemble a ski slalom course. Riders lay flat on their stomachs on this
350ft long slide.
Teamboat Springs (pictured below) is the world's
longest family white-water raft slide. Each raft hold three to five
people and takes riders down a 1,200ft long winding slide, down gushing
waterfalls and through a cavern with pouring water.
Melt Away Bay Cool off and find some relaxation in
Melt Away Bay, a 1 acre wave pool with gentley rolling waves that
constantly fed by the 'melting snow'! There's also cascading waterfalls
and a beach area where adults and kids can chill out.
Tike's Peak is a mini-Blizzard Beach for kids under
4ft. There are many slides and play areas specially designed for little
ones.
Ski Patrol Training Camp is ideal for pre-teens.
There are a series of nets and floating icebergs to cross and a series
of smaller, tame slides.
