Chairlifts and Gondola

A water park uses gravity to provide propulsion down the slides. Pretty obvious statement, that. But it comes at a cost. First, you have to get UP there so you can slide down, and that pretty much means you have to walk up lots of stairs on a day at a water park. At Blizzard Beach, there's an alternative to walking up all those steps. You can wait in the line (usually 15 minutes) to take the chair lift, themed like a ski lift.

And anyone needed accommodations has an alternative, too. At the left side of this picture you'll see the sole gondola on the line.

It's neat to be on the chair lift without all your ski gear; feels weird to this ex-skier (I say "ex" because now that I'm in Florida, there's no skiing to be had!)
