About this audio guide
This guide to Disney's Blizzard Beach in Orlando tells the park's own tall tale: a freak snowstorm blankets central Florida, entrepreneurs rush to build the state's first ski resort on what's now Mount Gushmore, and then the sun starts melting everything away. It follows the blue alligator named Ice Gator, who supposedly rode the slush down the mountain and talked everyone out of tearing the resort down, and the real April Fools' Day the park opened in 1995. Look up at the ski-jump silhouette still crowning the peak.
