Making of "ICE!"

Learn more about the magic and finesse behind the scenes that create
these colorful, icy masterpieces.
Colorful Chemistry
The vibrant colors in the ice sculptures are specially created by a chemist with a proprietary formula to ensure it closely matches each character's specific colors and to maintain its bright color for the entire season.
Expert Artisans
Traveling over 6,000 miles from Harbin, China (known as "Ice City"), 40 artisans use their master sculpting skills passed down through generations to carve ICE! over six weeks.
2 Million Pounds of Ice
ICE! features elaborate scenes sculpted from 6,700 massive blocks of ice, weighing in at a total of 2 million pounds.
Crafty Tools
The carvers use chisels, chippers, tongs, handsaws, grinders, and even chainsaws to bring the experience to life. Some artisans have collected custom-made tools to perfect the irregular shapes and achieve the highest level of detail.
The Design
The artisans follow a 300-page design book filled with hand-drawn, to-scale sketches and blueprints to create every sculpture featured throughout the 19,000-square-foot frozen attraction.
Carvers Showcase
Once the completed masterpiece is open for guests, a few artisans stay onsite at the exhibit to preserve the icy designs and perform daily, live sculpting demonstrations to showcase their craft.
