Full details
Enjoy this slushy, slippery water park...
Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is packed with downhill thrills and plenty of ways to chill. From bunny slopes to black diamonds, whether you’re a little squirt or making splash. Use your Disney theme park tickets to enjoy the most exhilarating water park anywhere !
Our guide to Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park
As with other 'Ski resorts', Blizzard Beach’s slides are divided into Green, Red and Purple runs depending on the thrill factor, but that is where the similarities end! Here you will find inviting waters of about 21ºC, except on the fantastic cross country creek, where you will be splashed with ‘melting ice’!
Fun for Kids
- Tike’s Peak: Their own kid-size version of the Park, complete with mini Mt Gushmore.
- Cross Country Creek: Drift lazily down a mountain through melting snow caves.
- Melt-Away Bay An oasis at the foot of Mt Gushmore, this one-acre wave pool is the perfect chill-out zone. Listen to the sound of the surf as gentle azure waves lap the shore, or grab an inner tube and bob merrily out at sea.
Thrill Rides
- Summit Plummet: The centre-piece of the park is the monstrous Summit Plummet which stands at 120 feet tall. Plunge at over 55mph straight down one of the world’s tallest, fastest free-fall speed slides!
- Slush Gusher: Start training for ‘the big one’ on this 90ft long waterslide.
- Snow Stormers: Weave your way down the mountain on your stomach as you take on the snaking curves of one of three winding waterslides.
Family Fun
- Ski Patrol Training Camp: Big kids and preteens can challenge themselves or chill out in this activity-driven play area.
- Teamboat Springs The family that rafts together, laughs together on this 365m raft ride over rushing waterfalls.
- Downhill Double Dipper: Race against your friends on these side-byside waterslides.
