The entire park is covered with artificial ice and snow. You can ride
toboggans in an exciting race or challenge the Summit Plummet, a 120
ft. drop in which you travel at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. At the highest point of the park is Mount Gushmore, where Summit Plummet sits waiting for its next
victim. To arrive at
the top of Mount Gushmore, one must either walk up the pathways or take a trip
on an exciting ski
lift ride. The ski lifts are equipped with colorful umbrellas and ski equipment.

Attractions
Cross Country Creek
Much like Castaway Creek in Typhoon Lagoon, Cross Country Creek is a creek that
circles the entire park. You board an inner tube and move along with the slow
moving currents. You will relax in your tube as you pass melting ice, caves and
waterfalls.
Ski Patrol Training Camp
An exciting area for pre-teens with many challenges like broken iceberg walks.
There are also T-bars and slides to enjoy.
Summit Plummet
At 120 feet high, Summit Plummet is the world's tallest and fastest free-fall speed slide. It
sits on the top of Mt. Gushmore and looks like a ski jump from afar. As you
slide down its
120 ft. near-vertical drop, you reach speeds of approximately 60 miles per hour. Summet Plummet is
by far the most thrilling water attraction in Disney World.
NOTE:
Read all the health advisories before riding.
