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.
 The
Alpine Village is where guest’s
