Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park and Attractions

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 water slide in the nation. You are invited to what has become Disney's Blizzard Beach, the most slushy, slippery, exhilarating water park anywhere! Imagine yourself plunging down one of the world’s tallest, fastest free-fall speed slides at a dizzying 55 mph - in a snowy winter playground smack in the middle of sunny Florida. Sound like a cool idea? It’s only one of 22 water slides and bobsled runs at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park, the largest of the Walt Disney World®Water Parks. Special areas for pre-teens and toddlers, and a one-acre wave pool are just a few of the many "snow-capped" amenities found in this ski resort. Cross Country Creek Much like Castaway Creek in Typhoon Lagoon, Cross Country Creek is a creek that circles the entire park. You board an inner tube and move along with the slow moving currents. You will relax in your tube as you pass melting ice, caves and waterfalls. Ski Patrol Training Camp An exciting area for pre-teens with many challenges like broken iceberg walks. There are also T-bars and slides to enjoy. Summit Plummet At 120 feet high, Summit Plummet is the world's tallest and fastest free-fall speed slide. It sits on the top of Mt. Gushmore and looks like a ski jump from afar. As you slide down its 120 ft. near-vertical drop, you reach speeds of approximately 60 miles per hour. Summet Plummet is by far the most thrilling water attraction in Disney World. NOTE: Read all the health advisories before riding. Downhill Double DippSlush GusherSlush Gusherer Shoot the tube and blast down the slopes at 25 miles per hour in these side-by-side speed slides. Hop on your inner tube and disappear into a tunnel before remerging seconds before your splashdown. These two parallel 230-foot-long racing slides are a slippery good time. Tike's Peak Little kids are invited to have mountains of fun in this water play area. The youngest Blizzard Beach goers can slide, splash and swim while sunning in the "snow" in this spot reserved just for them. Gentle body slides, an inner tube slide,interactive fountains, pop jets and a wading pool ensure a chillin' good time. Snow Stormers Snow Stormers is almost like a slalom ski slope for the water enthusiasts. Race around thrilling turns and curves while enjoying the cool, crisp water rushing all around you. Runoff Rapids Runoff Rapids is a series of inner tube tracks designed for single, double, or triple-person tubes. There are two open tube slides and one enclosed track which is completely in the dark.   Toboggan Racer Toboggan Racer is guaranteed fun for the whole family! There is a row of 8 identical water slides with numerous exciting dips. Guests lie on small mat-like toboggans and race other challengers down this heart-racing 250 ft. track. Slush Gusher Speed down the 90-foot tall Mount Gushmore in a slush-banked mountain gully. Two humps create brisk fun-filled ups and downs on your journey to the bottom of the powder-capped mountain. Launch down the slopes in the shadow of Summit Plummet. There's "snow" where else like it.
