Queue Description: Though there isn't a whole lot of interest to see, the queue is well themed as a trip around and through Splash Mountains Chickapin Hill. Wait times of an hour or longer are not uncommon. Wait Times: Splash Mountain is one of the most popular attractions at Magic Kingdom (except on cold days) and using FastPass is strongly recommended. This attraction is open during evening Extra Magic Hours but not the morning version. Not only is this mountain’s purpose to hide the inner workings of Typhoon Lagoon’s water piping system (much like Mount Gushmore at Blizzard Beach), but it also holds some incredible water rides such as Humunga Kowabunga, Gang Plank Falls, Mayday Falls, and Keelhaul Falls.Open/Close: Opens and closes with the park. You may recognize Mount Mayday at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park with its shipwrecked boat (“Miss Tilly”) balancing at the top of the mountain. And guess what… Summit Plummet is the highest “free sliding” body slide in the United States! This one scares the pants off of us – but wow – what an unexplainable thrill! Mount Gushmore at Disney’s Blizzard Beach

The most well-known attraction on Mount Gushmore is Summit Plummet. At the top you’ll have the opportunity to select between three colors for which “sloop” you find most comfortable for your thrill level. Located at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, Mount Gushmore is making more than just a splash these day! Catch a chairlift (as if at a ski resort) up the 90-foot mountain. A favorite for sure on our Disney mountain challenge! This thrilling Animal Kingdom attraction is so memorable from the moment you see (hear!) a train of screaming people plummeting down the mountain side, to the interesting and extremely detailed que, and of course the awesome ride itself. GULP! Conquering this Disney Himalayan mountain is a feat – as one must first face the ginormous Yeti that is tearing up the tracks right in front of your eyes! Disney did everything right with this steel rollercoaster, including sending those brave enough to ride it backwards into the mountain. Will you get wet? Chances are… YES! We aren’t complaining however as Splash Mountain is one of those timeless attractions we find ourselves riding again and again.Ĥ – Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain But alas – when you spot the steep, climbing track you’d be smart to start bracing yourself! Splash Mountain spits you out as you sail down the mountain side, splashing into the water below.

The sweet songs, cute scenery, and friendly audio-animatronics throughout the ride make for a pleasant voyage. This log-flume attraction at Magic Kingdom is a smooth sailing ride and looks innocent enough when inside. Hold onto your hats as Big Thunder Mountain is anything but an easy going ride. Legend has it this 200-foot mountain is actually haunted which scared all the miners away – leaving it looking like a ghost town in the middle of Magic Kingdom! Our favorite part is the rickety track and rugged dips and drops.

It’s “The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness” alright! If you’ve never bumped in and out and all around this mine filled Big Thunder Mountain in your railroad style seat, then you’re missing out.
