Disney World Water Parks Blizzard Beach Green Slope

Lets talk about the Green Slope at Blizzard Beach in Walt Disney World Water Parks. These attractions are all single track water slides so no racing allowed. Found at the topmost peak of Mount Gushmore you get there by either foot or chairlift.

The must do attraction for thrill seekers is Summit Plummet. Being 120 feet high you will achieve speeds of up to 60 mph as you descend. This is the 2nd highest and quickest free fall chute in the world. Ladies make sure you are wearing a 1 piece bathing suit or you may end up at the bottom before your top does.

Next there is Teamboat Springs a super long family white-water raft adventure. The attraction sends you down a convoluting series of waterfalls. As guests you sit in a big rubber raft, that holds between 4 and 6 people.

Then there is Slush Gusher. At 90 feet high and 250 feet long, this is a snow-banked highland body glide attraction. For speed you can reach up to 35mph. It has two areas where it just about levels off right before you drop again.
