What Exactly Is Rush Mountain Adventure Park?

Directly from their website at Rush Mountain Adventure Park:

" Explore Rushmore Cave, the closest cave to Mount Rushmore, cruise down the mountain on the Rushmore Mountain coaster, experience the Soaring Eagle Zip Ride, shoot’em up at the Gunslinger 7D Ride, and find your inner daredevil at the Wingwalker Challenge Course."

What struck me as I was reading details on their website is that there is something fun to do no mater how young or old or big or little. Some of the littles may not be big enough for one ride, but they'll probably be big enough for the other.  Plus, loads of fun activities no matter what your age.
