Front Description
Released on 16 Nov 2001, this standalone BLIZZARD BEACH WATER PARK pin is the ninth of twelve "parts" which fill an entire poster-style map of Walt Disney World as it looked when the map was released in 2001. This pin features Ice Gator, the Blizzard Beach alligator mascot, skiing down a snow-capped Summit Plummet.
The 2001 WDW Atlas Map, when filled, contains 25 pins. Available for sale to cast members only.
The numbering on the 12-part series is a bit confusing, as reflected on the backstamps. 1/12, 2/12 and 3/12 are the three puzzle pins which make Downtown Disney. 4/12 comprises the five pins needed to complete Magic Kingdom. 5/12 is the standalone pin for Fantasia Garden. 6/12 comprises the four pins which complete EPCOT. 7/12 is the standalone pin for Winter Summerland. 8/12 comprises the five pins which make Animal Kingdom. 9/12 is the standalone pin for Blizzard Beach. 10/12 is the standalone pin for Typhoon Lagoon. 11/12 is the standalone pin for River Country. 12/12 comprises the three pins needed to complete MGM Studios. Please check back description on all single pins (not sets) to see how the numbering worked within the multi-pin numbers (other than Downtown Disney, of course). For example, one of the EPCOT pins will read ATLAS SERIES 6 of 12, EPCOT 2 of 4.
Each of the 25 pins in this series has a pin-on-pin element. Unfortunately, these elements do not appear to have been riveted onto the multi-pin map sets, so many of those pins available now are missing their pin-on-pin piece. Rivets appear on the five standalone pins, however, so they do not seem to have this problem.
