Blizzard Beach is cool.
For those of you who have never experience Blizzard Beach then you’re in for a real treat. This water park is probably my favorite water park of all the ones in Orlando.
Disney Legend has it that after a freak winter storm snow covered the entire area and Florida’s first ski resort was born. So what does this super water park have to offer, well lets run down all the rides first?
Starting with the Downhill Double Dipper, this is 2 parallel Flumes where you slide down at breakneck speed from the top of the mountain to the bottom, great ride.
Next up is the Slush Gusher; this is where you swoosh down the mountain on an almighty flume to the base of snowy Mount Gushmore, one not to be missed.
This next ride is great for all the family, called the Teamboat Springs it’s renowned as being one of the world’s longest family raft rides, it just seems to go on and on, superb.
Now for a little relaxation with the Cross Country Creek, this is where you put your feet up literally and wind down as you travel around the park on an inner tube. Lots of lovely creeks and waterfalls for you to explore as you travel round. Great for the family.
Tike’s Peak is up next and this is great for the kiddies, It’s a snow covered area with small scales slides and swings as well as a fountain play area, definitely one to take the whole family to.
Toboggan Racers is a really cool ride. This where there are eight lanes side by side and you all jump on a mat and race each other down the slides, lots of dips on this ride which make you charge to the finish line.
They always say save the best to last so here we go, It’s better known as Summit Plummet, all I can say about this is you need nerves of steel to attempt this ride. You plunge vertically 120 feet down Mount Gushmore at speeds of 55 mph. This is renowned as the world’s tallest vertical water slide and it really isn’t for the faint hearted.
Other rides that this park have to offer are a bit more mild but still worth a go all the same, here is a quick run down of the rest.
Runoff Rapids, Not a bad ride this one Ski Patrol Training Camp more for the little teens this one with floating icebergs and little swings.
Snow Stormers is a Slalom style slide where you go through curvy paths and ski-type gates You hop on a mat and compete with your friends on this one, all good fun.
I hope my description of all the attractions and rides that Blizzard Beach has to offer has helped you.
