Disneyland's Matterhorn Mountain stands at approximately 147 feet tall and the coaster reaches around 25 - 27 miles per hour in speed. The ride officially opened on June 14, 1959 along with two other attractions on the same day: The Submarine Voyage and the Disneyland Monorail. The Matterhorn actually has two separate coaster tracks inside it, making it double the fun!
I love days where I can get Matterhorn pictures like this! When the sky is perfect and the waterfalls are running! To set the atmosphere even more: just imagine the sound of a roaring Abominable Snowman coming from inside the mountain!
The Matterhorn has always been one of those classic attractions we ride every trip. Even though it can be a little rough of a ride, it's sure to bring a smile to my face and make me laugh. If we have the time, we even try to ride both tracks!
One of those sights I love to see at Disneyland is a bobsled flying down the Matterhorn! I'm sure many of you can agree with that! That plus the now seemingly rare occurrence that Mickey Mouse himself climbs the Matterhorn! The last time I personally saw the Mouse on the mountain was back in Spring 2008.
This last picture is my attempt at an "artsy" shot of the Matterhorn taken on the Tomorrowland side of the mountain while waiting in line to ride it. I really enjoyed the look of it with the waterfall and the pine tree and hope you do as well! Next time you're at the park, stop by the Mighty Matterhorn and take a ride down it's icy slopes!
