Orlando, Florida Water Parks

Blizzard BeachThe story behind this water park begins with a freak snow storm that blanketed Florida. Within the blink of an eye, a ski resort sprang up with slalom courses, toboggan slides and iceberg walkways. Then, just as quickly, the weather shifted back to hot. The whole resort started to melt. But an enterprising alligator saw an opportunity! Clad in a scarf and hat, this Ice Gator slid down the snow-less ski jump, shouting 'Yahoooo!' all the way. With a big splash he landed in a pool of melted snow below the mountain. It was at this moment the slushy, slippery slopes became Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park with a ski theme. See Blizzard Beach attractions. |

Typhoon LagoonDuring during a huge storm, surfboards were hurled into palm trees and boats were tossed through thatched roofs of beach houses… and onto mountains. In fact, to this day Miss Tilly, the shrimp boat, still sits impaled and precariously perched on one. Every half hour, the boat's whistle blows and the volcano attempts to dislodge its burden by bursting, causing an enormous geyser of water to shoot skyward. Surrounding the mountain, a 56-acre topsy-turvy tropical paradise was formed, full of waterways, rivers, rapids and slides: Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. See Typhoon Lagoon attractions. |
