Walt Disney World- Blizzard Beach

When Blizzard Beach first opened, it had a mascot named the Ice Gator that Disney used heavily to market their new water park. The Gator made stops at all the on-property hotels, and the cast members who appeared with him told the kids about the fun they could have with him down at Blizzard Beach. The Ice Gator costume was designed so that he could not only be a walkaround character, but he could also cavort around in the pool with guests due to the suit being made of watertight rubber. Now, this seems like a great idea on paper, but it was soon discovered that the person in the suit had a hard time controlling the tail and not fainting due to the being in a rubber suit in the central Florida summer heat. Needless to say, the Ice Gator walkaround soon went the way of Dreamfinder and Roger Rabbit.
