Now, this arrives as maybe stunning news at a time when a lot of Disney enthusiasts had resigned on their own to getting to hold out right until 2023 to get to take a look at Blizzard Seashore once more.

Impression: DisneyAugust 14 – If anyone had stated back in January, when Blizzard Beach front shut for refurbishment, that we wouldn’t see it reopen all over again for the total of 2022, we would have believed they ended up mad.

Our first poll back again in April confirmed that 65% of men and women thought Blizzard Beach would reopen in 2022, even so as predicted our the latest poll flips that on its head and now 84% of people consider Blizzard Beach will remain shut for the full 12 months.

The rumor that Blizzard Beach would remain closed for the complete of 2022 arrived all the way back in March. At that level it appeared like a preposterous rumor. On the other hand, now I must say I feel it is getting to be much more and extra likely. Even if construction get the job done is full say by the conclusion of September which at the moment appears doubtful, the summer season will be in excess of so there would absolutely be no place Disney reopening Blizzard Seashore at this late stage in the year.
When we did an original poll asking you what you considered, supporters were being hopeful that this rumor would be improper with 65% declaring they thought it would reopen. We are now beginning a new poll. I will predict that the effects will be very diverse to very last time with the bulk of enthusiasts now indicating they imagine Blizzard Seaside WILL remain shut for the complete of 2022.
