It’s no secret that an extended closure is coming up for Blizzard Beach, one of Disney World’s water theme parks, with the water park shutting down on March 17 for a thorough refurbishment. Coincidentally, an all-new experience will open days before, placing Aquatica Orlando ahead of the curve just in time for this spring.
Aquatica Orlando, a breathtaking water park steps away from SeaWorld Orlando, just announced the opening of its latest attraction, Tassie’s Underwater Twist. The all-new experience is set to be a unique waterslide that will immerse guests into an incredible underwater adventure inspired by Australia’s Shark Bay using state-of-the-art technology.
The brand-new attraction is scheduled to open on March 15 — just two days before the extended closure of Blizzard Beach Water Park at Disney World commences.
