Clues to the Past


Ride the current in Cross Country Creek long enough, and you'll find yourself carried into a long-forgotten cave at the base of Mt. Gushmore. Here among the walls of ice and stone, you may just discover clues to the ancient history of the area around Blizzard Beach.


Petroglyphs carved in the rocks indicate that the freak snowstorm that created Blizzard Beach wasn't a one-time occurrence. It happened in the prehistoric past, too. There are primitive drawings on the walls of snowflakes and snowmen, along with mammoths and alligators on skis!

There's also a fossil record of prehistoric melting, as human figures are depicted making the transition from skis to inner tubes.


Look closely, and you may make an even more startling discovery. The petroglyphs seem to show the presence of an Abominable Snowman! Was it real or just imagined by the native population? None have been sighted in these parts in recent history, but then again... the Yeti on Expedition Everest isn't far away from here.

  1. I was a junior in college when Mighty Morphin premiered and my roommate and I used to watch it all the time because of the campiness of it, and, well, because Amy Jo Johnson was cute.

    Four years ago my then-three year old was introduced to Power Rangers by a friend of his and was obsessed for the next three years. We managed four trips to Disney during this time and our first stop in Hollywood Studios was always to get on line for the Power Rangers. His interest in Power Rangers is starting to wane a bit, though his two year old brother is now getting interested in the toys, and we're sad that, though he did meet them once last year, he'll never remember meeting them...
