New ride at Typhoon

[ujpest doza]

Just had a look at WDW Website and this is what they are saying :-

Disney's Blizzard Beach
Blizzard Beach will be closed for refurbishment October 24 - December 11, 2004.

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon
Typhoon Lagoon will be closed for refurbishment December 12, 2004 - March 12, 2005.


Disappointing for me as Typhoon Lagoon is probably our favourite place. Haven't been to Blizzard Beach since 1997 when we were put off by the massive queues for the slides.Granted it was in June which is always busy, anyone been to BB in February or March?

Obviously BB may be busier anyway with TL being closed, but anyone give an opinion?

We also like to do both. I agree that BB will be busier with TL closed, but Feb is not a particularly busy time except on GWB's day. One trick is to arrive soon after the park opens, get on Cross Country Creek on arrival and get off near Runoff Rapids. This ride, though very popular, fills up more slowly than the rest as it is furthest away from the main entrance. After you have done both open and closed tunnels of RR, work your way backwards for other rides. You'll still have queues, but are likely to cover more ground this way in a given space of time.
