At both Disneyland and Walt Disney World the drop down the hill is a whopping 50 feet at a 45 degree angle.

This 5 story drop means that your boat will reach speeds of up to 40 mph on the way down the Chick-A-Pin Hill. This makes it the fastest of the three mountains. Big Thunder Mountain only gets up to 36 mph and Space Mountain is actually pretty slow at 28 mph.
