ICE! 2022

ORLANDO, FL • HOUSTON, TX • NASHVILLE, TN 

WASHINGTON D.C. • BOULDER, CO • SAVANNAH, GA

Explore the foundation of the 2022 ideas—hand-drawn, to-scale sketches that map out the details before they’re built.

  • A sketch of a nativity scene with Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and a star at the top, surrounded by helpers and set on a stage with curtains and lighting equipment.
  • A sketch of an auditorium entrance with a person walking in and a sign that says 'Play Rehearsal Today!'. The arch of the entrance is depicted with decorative elements and the word 'Auditorium' at the top.
  • A detailed line drawing of children on a stage, dressed as characters from the story of the Three Little Pigs, with houses, trees, and decorative stars hanging overhead.
  • A black and white sketch of a holiday display featuring a child-like character dressed in winter clothing, holding a fishing pole, standing next to large illuminated letters spelling 'ICE,' with snow and ice elements, and a person in the background observing.

From first sketch to final detail—here you’ll find the ground plans, renderings, models, and technical drawings that guide our ideas into reality.

  • Architectural floor plan of a building named Gaylord Opryland, showing interior layouts and designated outdoor areas, with pathways marked in red arrows.
  • Drawing plans and a color photograph of a figurine depicting shepherds and sheep. The plans include measurements and views of the shepherd figure, sitting sheep, shepherd with lamb, and standing sheep, with some labeled as 'reference only' and scaled 1:10.

The 2022 ICE! season delivered an ambitious and visually stunning attraction. Guests experienced:
