Disney’s Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach,
Orlando, Florida,
U.S.A.

The tallest and fastest free-fall water slide in the U.S. looks like a ski jump from a distance (left). You ride without a mat (top), zoom down, and reach speeds of up to 60 miles (97 kilometers) an hour—as fast as a car on the highway! “I had to be really brave climbing the stairs to the top the first time, it was soooo high,” says Will, 10, of Florida, U.S.A. “But after that, I couldn’t wait to go back—again and again! It’s awesome!”
