Only Disney could get away with creating a snow covered ski resort in the blazing Florida sun. The story says a freak snowstorm created the blizzard, but when temperatures rise, the snow melts and the ski runs turn into waterslides.
The Summit Plummet is ones of the world's highest free fall slides plunging you downwards at up to 60mph and the Slush Gusher is another ride with a speedy decent reaching up to 50mph.
The Double Dipper is a downhill race where you compete with your neighbour and The Toboggan Racer is a fast 8 lane stretch to the bottom of the mountain.
For those wanting a little relaxation after all the speed, you can float along on Cross Country Creek but look out for the drops of ice-cold water as you float through the ice caves and under icy waterfalls! MeltAway Bay is a 1 acre pool with various waterfalls.
For the youngsters there the Ski patrol Training Camp where they can splash about on floating icebergs or the bungee cordet slide.
Fabulous fun for the whole family.

A tropical paradise at the foot of Mount Mayday where you can body surf in one of the world's largest wave pools or even swim with live sharks in the Shark Reef. A 4 foot wave runs the entire length of the lagoon every few minutes and a great gathering of spectators watch the brave have a go at the five-story Humunga Kowabunga.
Ketchakiddee Creek is where younger ones can hang out and enjoy the smaller rides and pools and Castaway Creek gives you a gentle ripple as you float around the park at just 2mph.
The 420 foot long water rollercoaster Crush n Gusher propels riders on inflatable rafts with powerful jets and superb water technology eventually spitting them into Hideaway Bay.
Open all year round and water temperatures are always warm

A great selection of water fun in tubes, pools and rides for all ages.
The twisting Black Hole has 1000 gallons of water flowing through its twisting tubes every minute that propels your two man raft through the 500 feet in 30 seconds.
Then there's the 6 story toboggan ride The Fuji Flyer that thrusts you forward with blasts of raging water.
The Hydra Fighter is a swing equipped with water cannons that you regulate controlling how high and fast the swing goes thereby creating your own experience.
You can even splash to the hits of the 70s in the new ride that takes you through a time warp towards the watery nightclub complete with glittering disco balls.
In The Bubba Tub groups of 5 plunge down a six story slide screaming all the way.
For those wasting to relax a little you can take The Wild One on a inflated tube around the park.
All ages will love it here - a great day out for all.

Construction is underway for the new Aquatica water park being built by SeaWorld. SeaWorld say about their new theme park: "Aquatica is a whimsical, one of a kind water park where one river floats you through an undersea world of colourful fish and another races you along rolling rapids. Slides that spin and soak you, and our incredible signature ride - two awesome, enclosed tube slides that send you spinning through a lively lagoon filled with playful Commerson's dolphins"
The park is due for completition in March 2008
