Summit Plummet would be the marquee slide at Blizzard Beach. Travel Channel showcases it on their 'Top 10 Water Parks' show that they replay every now & again. Blizzard Beach scored #2 there, Schlitterbahn in Texas was #1.

Summit Plummet-the tallest waterslide in the US
Crush'n'Gusher-the only water coaster in centeral Florida. Fun Facts aboot both: SP It has a mickey that waves at you once you go to the start of the cave. It goes 55 mph. C'n'G It has enough water power to shoot over TOT. All of the slide put together would equall 100 feet.

That all depends on what kind of slides you like. I like tube slides better, and I like the ones at Typhoon Lagoon better. If you like body slides more, they have bigger ones at Blizzard Beach.
I have heard that Crush 'n' Gusher is one of only two Master Blaster slides throughout the United States, the other being at Schlitterbahn in Texas.

But there are several Master Blasters now @ Schlitterbahn unless I'm mistaken.

Well, here's where it all falls apart, there are three different Schlitterbahns throughout Texas, and I'm pretty sure the one I'm thinking of is at the original in New Braunfels (their Master Blaster is WAAAAAAAY longer than our Crush 'n' Gusher!). Now that I look at their website, it looks like they have them at the other two. So much for Disney's claim. I thought I've seen others across the country on the Travel Channel, too.

About slides, Crush n' Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon is awesome, but keep your butt up. For Blizzard Beach, I'm not a fan of Summet Plummet, major wedgie! A really fun slide for the whole family (at Blizzard Beach) is Teamboat Springs.
