News Blizzard Beach closing for extended refurbishment this year with enhancements coming

[ToTBellHop]

But even those 2 have themeing and stories, I do fear though that since they are in a rush they will add a more bare-bone attraction, which is not what this park needs.

While, yes Runoff Rapids doesn't contain a lot of thematic scenery, it still fits in with its surroundings and has a plot (Backside of Mount Gushmore is melted/melting)

They do, but unless they want to do bobsleds, I can’t think of any other reason for an exposed slide. Typhoon is a bit more versatile.

 

[ImperfectPixie]

Yes, but does a toilet bowl or sideways cone fit on a snowy mountain?

My youngest loves when we go there.

 

[Robbiem]

I think a luge themed ride would be great - that is one scary sport!

 

[UpAllNight]

Don’t see why they’d close an additional 6 weeks just to add a slide somewhere around the side.

Something else to note: Blizzard Beach’s 25th anniversary is April 1st 2020.

Interesting

Do you ever think a 3 park would come to the area for Disney? I bet they hit some good capacity in the warmer weather. Although with the ticket price hikes, I bet it's not as busy now.

It'd be nice to see something new, the theming is fanastic at BB and TL but water slides have come on a lot and WDW seem behind the game now, check out Siam Park in Tenerife if you haven't seen it before, it's got some great slides!

 

[HoldenC]

I'm not expecting much to be added... I don't think Blizzard Beach was planning to add anything

Any proof of this doom and gloom or just magical conjecture?

It’s a snow cone!

A third water park? I don't think it's necessary tbh, the water park market feels tapped out in Orlando. TL, BB, Volcano Bay, Aquactia, and now the one at the Margaritaville Resort; there are plenty to choose from.

Yep the Orlando market is pretty much saturated.

It’s as saturated as my underwear after Ripsaw Falls.

Bluto’s BRB is worse though in terms of how wet you get.

 

[twilight mitsuk]

Worst the kalo

Yeah. Totally.

That’s why each waterpark brings in between 1.5 million to 2.2 million guests...4 of the busiest waterparks on the planet.

Still, I’d rather see new slides added to the existing parks over a new waterpark from Disney.

I wonder how much a total overhaul of the park would be ???

Then there’s room for one more water park!

I guess it depends on luck

Honestly, I'd take a couple of unthemed water slides at this point. Blizzard Beach needed more attractions yesterday.
