They take people that brought selfie-sticks into the park and make them use the water parks first thing in the morning. They are attached to dunking sticks. When they start turning blue from the cold 
they close the parks. 
they close the parks.
I don't really know!

It's seems like its usually around 65 degrees and below that they close them. They say it's the 50s but I've seen them both closed for 62 and wind.

I wouldn't go unless it's 75-plus anyway. Obviously their temperature threshold is much lower than mine. But I guess if you are flying in from the North, our ideas of cold are much different.
I've been away from Ohio too long I guess.

You guys have a different definition to 'cold' than us Brits. Honestly I've visited parks in shorts and t-shirt when CM's have had hats, coats and gloves on

Well, Floridiots have no tolerance for anything under 70

It's been proven time after time that I simply don't care.
Thanks. That's actually pretty warm...I really hope you're wrong
Does anyone have any historical knowledge as to whether the water parks are usually open in mid-February? I know TL is closed (sob!) but I'm hoping to get to Blizzard Beach the third week of Feb.
Thanks for that oh-so-helpful response...

You're welcome. I promise you, the water parks will reopen when it's warmer.

Historical knowledge? Basically it's a game of luck. Feb should be better than Jan, but I've been down there for the Marathon (first weekend after NYE usually) and had freezing rain (32-33 degrees) and sweltering heat (90 degrees) on different years. This years trip I do believe BB was closed most days due to the fact it hung around in the 50s or so. But we did have days where it hit 80 also. Pack your bathing suit and cross your fingers.

I from Philly, and while the 50s isn't cold, it ain't exactly Palm Beach either. I went in December 2012, and the temps were all over the place. Mid 30s when we got in at night, with quite a kick to the wind. As we exited our rent-a-car to check in, we saw an empty stroller rolling across the parking lot, pushed by the gusts of wind A foreboding start, but it IS The Most Magical Place on Earth, and dark magic is still magic!

Me too! We're going next week, and temps will range anywhere from the high 30s to mid-70s. I will only be bringing one sweater. Pass the sunscreen, it's time to work on my tan!
