Entrance
From the disney website:
Scale the snowy summit in your racing toboggan and then speed, screaming down the slopes, to a sensational splashdown.
- Get ready for a barreling breathtaking blast to the bottom
- Plummet into an Alpine pond
- Oh, did we mention that the Abominable Snowman has been particularly hungry lately?
I taped the ride from beginning to end. Very bumpy, but fun!

INTERESTING FACTS
Matterhorn Mountain is 140 feet high. It's visible from the nearby freeway.
The Matterhorn attraction was inspired by the movie "Third Man on the Mountain" (which in turn was inspired by the book "Banner in the Sky"), and opened on June 14, 1959. It was the first steel roller coaster in the world.
During busier times mountain climbers in Tyrolean costumes can often be seen scaling the mountain - sometimes joined by Mickey or Goofy.
There is a small basketball court inside Matterhorn Mountain.
The Disneyland Skyway used to pass through Matterhorn Mountain, but the openings have been closed up.
