Wait, they're planning on closing Blizzard for good? WTH? :thud:
Blizzard Beach is the only place that sells mini donuts on Disney property so they better have a plan to move those to Typhoon at the very least if that actually happens
Honestly though, I can see why they want to consolidate as i'm not sure WDW needs two water parks, especially if they expand Typhoon, but it'd be a real shame to see Blizzard close.
I know this is off topic but does this mean they are working on a major refurbishment for Typhoon Lagoon ?Second-hand scuttlebutt says the refurb of Typhoon Lagoon and its crumbling mountain has turned into an expansion, designed to make it the single water park at WDW. Theory goes they'll limp Blizzard along until that is ready (probably at least another Summer), then eventually close it. If at all true, I wouldn't count on an expansion any time soon.

That’s the funny thing about this rumor is that Typhoon is actually the older water park so you think they would rather close it. In my opinion neither park should cease to exist. Both need some major updates and expansions. I’m not saying that would solve the their problems however it will help keep them around longer.The back half of Mount Mayday collapsed. The park has been drained for months. So yes, a major refurbishment. Whether to put it back roughly the same or in a new, larger form is the big question.
It’s the more popular one though. Blizzard is way out of the way from most things.That’s the funny thing about this rumor is that Typhoon is actually the older water park so you think they would rather close it.

This is not accurate - it was a mudslide of sorts that never impacted the structural integrity of the hill at all.The back half of Mount Mayday collapsed.

Is it more iconic? I've always considered Typhoon Lagoon the more significant of the too. It's got the biggest wave pool and only one to ever get an addition.They're not gonna close Blizzard Beach, it's the more iconic of the two Disney water parks. If anything, Typhoon Lagoon closes for good.
I've always seen Blizzard Beach in videos and books, and Summit Plummit is probably the worlds most iconic water slide. I don't really hear about Typhoon Lagoon all too much.Is it more iconic?

Like seriously I can’t take that rumor seriously as doesn’t make a lick of sense. You would be loosing some capacity in a sense unless they are making a giant multi million dollar investment in TL to truly make it a mega water park.They're not gonna close Blizzard Beach, it's the more iconic of the two Disney water parks.

Totally this. On a summer day in August they'd both reach capacity; heck when there were three open water parks they could all reach capacity. The amount of infrastructure support TL would require to soak that up would be astonishing.Like seriously I can’t take that rumor seriously as doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Are we going to ignore the money Disney put into BB when it was closed to literally fully rip out and replace slides though? Like, I get that it probably was extremely needed, but they would've never done it if they planned to close the park only a few years later.
