The routes to the top of Mt. Gushmore at Blizzard Beach, as well as their associated attractions, are color coded for easier way finding, but there's storytelling at work here, too. The directional graphics and signs are meant to evoke the spirit of the Olympics and similar winter sports venues.
Of course, while some may choose to ascend by climbing, others take the chairlift. Notice the combination of beach umbrella canopies over each chair and faux skis underneath.
No matter how you get there, once you're at the top it's competition time! Summit Plummet and Slush Gusher are individual competitions, super speed slides that challenge you to make great time down the mountain. Toboggan Racers is an 8-lane downhill course, while Snow Stormers provides a switchback slalom experience. Of course, for true mano-a-mano racing, nothing beats the Downhill Double Dipper (below). It's often a real photo finish!
