Toboggan Racers

Toboggan Racers is an 8-lane waterslide race on toboggan-style mats for big kids, teens and adults at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park. Ready. Set. Snow! Grab a mat at the top and race your friends or family members down the mountain over a series of dips to the bottom of Mount Gushmore. This 250-foot long waterslide is an avalanche of fun!

Toboggan Racers is a 250-foot water slide next to Snow Stormers on Mount Gushmore. The attraction sends guests racing over exhilarating dips as they descend the "snow" slope along the side of Mount Gushmore. Guests lay on their stomach on the toboggan style mat as they race to the finish line. Mat pickup at the top (Shares mat conveyor with Snow Stormers).

Grab your mat, wait for the signal, and go. You and eight other racers whiz simultaneously down the watery trail on the purple slopes toward the finish line at the base of the mountain. The racing aspect makes the ride fun, but it lacks the speed of single-rider green-slope rides like Slush Gusher.

Touring Tips

• Toboggan Racers are located near the Snow Stormers and Downhill Double Dipper water rides on the slopes of Mount Gushmore. To get to these attractions, follow the signs to the attractions at the Purple Slope area of the mountain.
• Pick any lane, they all go to the same place. Pick up your mat at the top of the mountain.
• As with all water parks, this attraction can and will get very busy on the hot summer days. We recommend riding this as soon as possible if you didn't want to wait in line.
• Any time of year that the park is open is a good time to visit, but it does get very hot and very crowded during the summer peak season. There are two better times to arrive, shortly before the park opens, and in the warmer months when the park is open at night, its best to get there mid to late afternoon. If you want to go for the morning/early afternoon, it is essential to arrive by park opening time, particularly in the warmer months.
• Weekdays, the nearer to the beginning of the week the better. Later in the week, Blizzard Beach attracts the people who typically spend the beginning of the week at the major parks. Local residents tend to keep things busy on the weekends.

Facts

• Highly trained and qualified lifeguards are on duty over the course of the day patrolling the Water Park. All Disney lifeguards must complete a thorough training program that exceeds most national standards.
