Disney's Blizzard Beach is a waterpark at Walt Disney World. The park was the third water park to open after River Country and Typhoon Lagoon. Most of the attractions are located at the top of Mount Gushmore and split into three colored slopes. All the water in the resort is heated to 80 degrees Fahrenheit with the exception of melting snow in the caves of Cross Country Creek.
The behind story for Blizzard Beach is that a freak snowstorm in the Orlando area lead to the construction of Florida's first and only ski resort. The snow didn't last long and created waterlogged ski jumps and slides. As the owners of the resort were in the process of closing, they saw an alligator sliding down a flume and splashed into a pool of water while screaming 'Yahoo!'. The ski resort was reopened as a water park and 'Ice Gator' was chosen as their mascot.[5]
