Mount Gushmore is an artificial hill in Disney's Blizzard Beach Waterpark. The mountain formerly included a rock climbing wall attraction; this has, however, been non-operational for a number of years, due to safety and staffing considerations. A chairlift transports guests to the top of Mount Gushmore, where the entrances to many of the slides and flumes are. The mountain has a total elevation of 90 feet.
Mount Gushmore hosts the majority of the major attractions at the park, and is split into three coloured slopes to aid guests navigating around the park: Green, Red and Purple.
Mount Gushmore houses a few of the park's highest slides, and is itself 90 feet high. The parks highest slide, Summit Plummet is the highest "free sliding" body slide in the US.
The "Mountain" also serves an important logistical function, concealing the park's pipework.

Famous quotes containing the word mount:
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
