Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park is one of 2 Water Parks in Walt Disney World Resort.  It features one of the world's tallest and fastest free-falling waterslides, as well as slides and rides for the whole family.

The story behind Disney's Blizzard Beach begins with a freak snow storm that blanketed Florida.  Within the blink of a snowflake-tipped 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. What to do?

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 an exhilarating Water Park with a ski theme.
