Disney’s Blizzard Beach water slides closed due to broken water pipe

By Leah Zanolla | Published April 23, 2016

Summit Plummet and Slush Gusher, water slides at Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park, have been closed since the middle of March. Disney is now confirming that this is due to a broken water pipe. The Orlando Sentinel said that in March, “Disney’s construction arm filed a notice of commencement for a project titled, ‘BB March 16 Summit Leak.’”

Blizzard Beach was closed early last week, as well as for a few days the first week of April. In addition, the water slides were closed back in September for “an extended period.” Paperwork was filed at that time for pipe replacement.

There has still been no re-opening date announced.

Leah grew up in a little farming town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi River. Her Chicago-born husband, David, left the city for her, and they're now raising their three children (Jacob, Jonah and Lydia) just 12 miles from her hometown. As the Senior Editor of the DIS (wdwinfo.com), Leah spends a lot of time writing about, reading about, and discussing Disney. So, it should come as no surprise that one of her family's favorite ways to spend time is going to Walt Disney World and traveling on Disney Cruise Line. She also enjoys shopping, watching movies with her husband and doing crafts with and for her kids.
