We believe the scheduled opening of this
park for April 1st 1995 was no accident. April Fools Day would seem to be
the perfect day to open to the public
considering that the theme of this water park is set around a failed
attempt to build a ski resort in Florida. 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!
 With the snow covered Mt. Gushmore as its centerpiece this outrageous and
fun theme is continued throughout the park. Guests will find ski jumps,
toboggan rides and slalom runs that all have been turned into water
slides. At the base of Mt. Gushmore all the melting snow has formed a
lagoon that serves as the parks wave pool.
Blizzard Beach with its 17 slides, which includes the 120-foot, feet
first, eight second plunge down Summit Plummet, is perhaps more action
orientated than Disney’s other water park Typhoon Lagoon.
