Ice Gator (Mascot)
Ice Gator is the fictional alligator mascot of Disney's Blizzard Beach water park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, in the United States. According to Disney legend, Florida's first ski resort was melting, and the operators were preparing to cut their losses and walk away. They were interrupted however, by an echoing "YAHHOOO!!!" coming from the mountain of melting snow. They looked up to see an alligator wearing a purple scarf and a purple and pink (Or gold and purple depending on the image) ski hat careening down the mountain at top speed. Ice Gator then landed in a pool of melted snow at the base of the mountain with a thunderous splash. The ski resort operators suddenly saw the park's potential, and the mountain of snow became Blizzard Beach, "the most slushy, slippery, exhilarating water park anywhere!"

Famous quotes containing the word ice:
““The room’s very hot, with all this crowd,” the Professor said to Sylvie. “I wonder why they don’t put some lumps of ice in the grate? You fill it with lumps of coal in the winter, you know, and you sit round it and enjoy the warmth. How jolly it would be to fill it now with lumps of ice, and sit round it and enjoy the coolth!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
