Disney World Water Parks Blizzard Beach Purple Slope

These are the attractions of the Purple Slope at Blizzard Beach in Walt Disney World Water Parks. Once inside the park you get there from a footpath alongside the bottom pool of Downhill Double Dipper. All slides are configured for racing with 2 or more tracks adjacent to one another.

One of the world's few side-by-side racing tracks is what makes Double Dipper unique. The slides are 50 feet high and 230 feet long. Guests rush down with speeds of up to 25 mph as they pass ski racing pictures and racing flags. They have a countdown clock for the start and it is equipped with automated audio gear that sounds the beginning of each race. There are also gates to contain riders till the race begins.

The mat slide Snow Stormers consists of three flumes that are 350 feet feet long. You descend from the upper part of the mountain and pursue a criss cross path through slalom gates. Visitors get on their stomachs as they float down the flumes.

Toboggan Racers water slide has 8 lanes and is 250 feet long. Here you race across thrilling dips as you come down the incline along the face of Mount Gushmore.

As you can see Disney World Water Parks are fun for all ages and have water fun that the resort hotels can not provide.
