I don’t think there is too much space for more expansion. I think ride upgrades and replacements are the best choice currently.

They were closed for a long time and then eventually rebuilt during one of the parks seasonal downtimes. They’ve been open since.Whatever happened with this?

So was this land clearing just to store pieces of the slide during repairs?

I think that land clearing was related to a seperate issue regarding water lines to and up Mt Gushmore.
Totally agree Disney has let their water parks linger too long without major additions for awhile since Mayday Falls. New slides and attractions are needed at both parks IMO

Perhaps there is some way to modify the shape so it is more halfpipe like? That would completely fit.

Any other company probably like $20 million. Disney...$400 millionI wonder how much a total overhaul of the park would be ???

Disney’s water parks need quality additions (theme-wise and technology-wise) in order to remain “competitive.”
Miss Adventure Falls was an excellent example of how to do this right - a real backstory, quality props, and even an animatronic.
I hope the same level of care is put into Blizzard Beach’s addition(s).

It should be easy. It’s such a cool theme and fake snow and penguins always look fun in Florida.

Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon fit the bill of “water theme park” more than anything else I’ve seen and I’ve never felt like either are really lacking in quality or quantity. They’re also typically add-ons to an existing vacation and never the main draw to book a trip so I can see why Disney doesn’t see value in adding to them often. I will also add, once again, that I’m surprised Olaf did not take over Blizzard Beach.
Miss Adventure Falls, despite the lost pun in the name, is a very solid addition that they deserve credit for.

According to our favorite news source, ProSlides had a sign saying thank you for all operators who will develop a new ProSlides attraction in 2019, 2020, or 2021. Disney's Blizzard Beach is one of them. What do you think?

Any ideas as to what it could be themed to? Maybe some S.E.A?
