The Making of ICE!
Experience the beloved ICE! attractions this holiday season! Carving more than 2 million pounds of ice at each resort, it will take teams of 40 artisans from Harbin, China approximately six weeks to create each 19,000-square-foot frozen attraction. These expert artisans follow a 300-page design book filled with sketches and blueprints to create individual pieces. Each resort will feature a classic Christmas story, making this is a holiday spectacle not to be missed.
The very first ICE! experience was presented in 2001.
