Review

Good Disney water park with a snow storm-theme: great when you arrive in Florida on a hot and humid summer day, not so great when you arrive on a chilly winter day. Brrr.

There are two monstrously fast and steep slides starting from a fake ski jump on top of the park's centerpiece mountain structure. 'Summit Plummet' is so frighteningly steep that I was clenching my teeth while thundering down. Some of the potential sliders in the queue looked like they were about to be forced into a polar bear fight. A ski lift system transports you to the snowy mountain's peak, which is a great idea.

A tube speed slide called 'Downhill Double Dipper' is my favorite, complimented by several body slides, the ever present yellow family raft ride (in which up to six people meander down slowly on a very wide slide), a small wave pool and a lazy river surrounding the base of the mountain.

It’s a wonderful water park: however, if you have only one day left in Walt Disney World, go to Typhoon Lagoon instead!
