Full ride: New Matterhorn Bobsleds, both sides, and mountain climbers at Disneyland POV

[@The321asdfff]

All I can say is "AWESOME!!" Will be there in 2 weeks for all the new attractions! Yea!

[@Primogen16]

I've always loved the Matterhorn Bobsleds, and I prefer the new cars to the old ones, where you practically sat on the lap of the person seated behind you.

[@koasterkid1234]

There is a fastpass line for Radiator Springs Racers. Also, there's a single rider line as well. You can look on the Disneyland website to see all the rides that have fastpass lines.

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

Thanks for showing both sides of this ride! It has been so long I forgot that it had two sides to it. I do remember the Yettis though. :) I also miss the Skyway that went through the mountain that is no longer there. It was so cool cuzz they had it so you could see the yetti screaming when you went through the mountain. Never should have taken that ride out imo. :|

[@darrylbernard8885]

PinBallReviewer they had to. The pylons holding it up started cracking. It became a safety issue and had to be removed.

[@dju4ia]

No legroom, that sucks!!! The old ones were so much fun with a date, or even your kids, sitting basically in your lap, ahh the good old days!

[@KlunkerRider]

+dju4ia RE those old cars. Years ago, I knew a couple that tried to have sex on the ride...emphisis on *tried* LOL

[@SuperGirlsproduction]

+dju4ia go to the europapark in germany haha they have that kind of ride with the old ones

[@ashtonmorrow3036]

If you dont mind not sitting behind/infront of someone you know, you go in the Single Riders line, so when theres a group that needs one more person, someone from the single riders line comes.

[@cj1lorenz]

you might be confused with the big hills they are making that is snowy and supposed to have a castle on it...because i NEVER heard anything about a matterhorn adding to the fantasy land expansion. they are building a new rollercoaster but its snow white themed.

[@PheonyxJay]

I went on the ride recently (Last week actually) and it is way slower and way less bumpy, it used to throw you around like you were on an uneven and harsh terrain, now it feels like a leisure stroll through the park. But that could be just me

[@Tempusverum]

It's not just you; I remembered Matterhorn as being one of the bumpiest roller coasters in the park!

[@vipergaming8402]

I went about a few months ago and it felt a lot slower, I was a little disappointed but it was still fun.

[@ruby.sapphire6975]

+FunnyKindaGaming I went on the left side and it was faster than the right side but then I had a back cramp for the rest of the day.

[@memeoroniblyat9979]

The turns were slow af

[@scsstudios]

The new sleds are actually WORSE. Never thought that was possible! On the upside, that thing was SO ROUGH, it re-aligned my spine. Now I can cancel my chiropractor.

[@jar0fdirt63]

that is a VERY good question. That attraction is in need of a fastpass line. My guess is that they dont have room for a second line.

[@funbun686]

gosh i always wonder why the left side was more scary! its because of the last yeti in tunnel! right one you see it but the left it blinks off and on! Xd

[@jokerhalo1]

we were there when it was being rebuilt. but we had trouble figuring out if that was what it was supposed to loo like until we saw the fences and the people going in and out

[@Christinafan2002]

I have not gone on this ride, nor have I been to Disneyland in California, since I was 8 years old, but I really liked this ride a lot when I went on it, and I wish I had gone on it again before leaving the park, except that snowman scared me, a little bit. It's a shame they don't also have this ride at Disney's Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, although I don't know quite where the ride would fit. Probably the Adventure land part, but I think it would be cool if they could bring the Matterhorn ride there, as well.

[@farkdanarc]

one of he rougher coasters i have been on in a long time. was just there this past Jan.

[@cj1lorenz]

Are you sure? i cant find any information saying that, But expedition Everest is based off the matterhorn and a more extreme version

[@ztslovebird]

Is the basketball court still in the Matterhorn?

[@JavaCake]

ztslovebird Yes. They even showed it on The Imagineering Story

[@Dorito1080]

People always line up more for the Tomorrowland side rather the Fantastland side due to the fact that the Tomorrowland side is, in fact, a little bit faster. Also featured on that side is a surprise dip that, when sitting near the back, can give you a nice pop of air out of your seat.

[@Daniel2131-z4h]

Do you get a pain in your neck after riding the Matterhorn . Matterhorn in the 90s was smooth and fast now it's a very unpleasent ride today. It hurts while you sit it jerks much harder than Indiana Jones now that I avoid this ride at 85% of my Disneyland Visits . This track has to go and be replaced with a new track or smooth out the tracks to make the matterhorn more pleasant . When I go to Disneyland I don't want to get hurt I want to have Fun.

[@FreedomTrain24]

about how loud is the matterhorn yeti roar because I am going next month on the first.

[@ADRUNKCANAD14N]

pretty loud you beauty

[@nahhnee]

its not that loud it just sounds like about as loud as 4 dogs barking!

[@FreedomTrain24]

Ok

[@legodude700videos]

Theres not much of a difference, but this one is the "Abominable Snowman." The other one is the official "Yeti." I'm pretty sure they are the same, maybe this one is the Yeti's kid (Smaller)?

[@cricketrecords]

I haven't ridden it yet with the new sleds (because the line is always so long, even during the "off season") but it seems to be slower and less exciting. It seems like you sit higher in the sled, like in a normal seat, not down low like the old one, which I think takes some of the thrill out of it. I don't know why Disney has to tamper with something that has worked just fine for 50 years. But I'll have to ride it for myself.

[@KlunkerRider]

Its alot SLOWER today than it was back in the 60's and 70's maybe even during the 80's. I think when they added the Bigfoot nonsense and filled in the interior tracks with tunnels in '78 it was still pretty fast but somewhere during the 90's the ride started getting neutered, probably because of concerns for it being more "family friendly" hence they began slowing it down even back then. This looks even slower now than even I remember back when they were still running the older cars. That right side looks like its barely moving. I can remember back before the first "upgrade" in 1978 when you went up the incline even though it wasn't lite, from the light from the Skyway openings you could clearly see alot of the framing on the interior, the interior tracks below and the Skyway going thru it right above you. Bonus points if you could bomb a rider in a Bobsled below from the passing Skyway car with a JuuJuuBee, yes, we were bad kids ;-) .

[@sddweller]

COOL! I opened two screens and watched each side at the same time! Too bad I'm hearing bad reviews on the updates, I used to love this ride. I remember the single file seating in 1974.

[@BooBooBetsy]

What i never understood, is that the matternhorn is orginally supposed to be from switzerland/austria. right? but your supposed to encounter the "Yeti" But the yeti is supposed to be in the himilayas, right? Expedition Everest says so, at Animal Kingdom theme park in Florida. Disney has a weird way of contradicting themself..

[@TheCrazyCoasterKid]

I think the loudness and squeaks are becasue of the new cars getting used to the new tracks. It should go away after some time.

[@wcsparksnv1]

Got too love the Matterhorn! The easiest way for Disney to break your neck

[@Loveyyplays]

I want on the ride in 1013 and it scared me when it jerked back on the mountain while you were riding to the top

[@alexandriaichihara5403]

I'm gonna be going on this ride for the first time next month, but I'm pretty sceared of drops on rides... Is this ride that bad? I can handle Indiana Jones (my favorite!) and can kinda handle the drop in Pirates of the Carribean even though it does freak me out a bit (yes, I know I'm a total wimp XP), but Splash Mounain, and Space Mountain are too much O_o is this ride too bad? Cuz, I've always wanted to try it in all the times I've been to Disneyland... Thanks!!

[@steviepz]

Not really; if you're with a group of 5 you'll probably all want to be on the same train. The single rider line is for people who don't care who their seated with...the worker can fill in the 6th seat with somone in that line; it makes the lines move much faster.

[@RockysToys]

FIIINAAALLYYY!!!!! Hopefully these cars will be alot smoother so you don't break something everytime you hit a bump.

[@PHAEDRIDER]

they sure were , and in 1978 they changed them to the two sled version and it hasnt been the same since

[@bleach867]

Haha. At 0:17 that guy looks SO uncomfortable

[@blake97fb]

when does disney usually add a fastpass line to a popular ride. like how long until they put a fastpass line in radiator springs racers

[@SIXFLAGSDRPEPPER]

Want to know what I noticed? After you go to six flags and go on roller coasters like viper, scream, etc EVEN revolution it takes the fun out of these rides. Idk why but it seems like after your first loop roller coaster these rides don't seem to scare you anymore lol.

[@A_A610]

Taking the history of rides into account, this opened in 1959. The first looping coasters were poorly engineered, so inverting rides were gone by the 1900s. Going back upside down didn't happen until 1975 when Knott's opened Corkscrew. There's no inversions on this, as rides were still non-looping at that point in time.

[@mazzymountain]

lol. it isnt like the "added" sunlight by chipping away at the mountain. maybe youre thinking of space mt?

[@andreapatane4204]

This ride is cool. I loved it when I was younger. I spoke to a School-Age girl about this ride when my parents and I were in line in May 2017. I told her that I loved this ride when I was her age. She nodded her head "Yes" after I asked her if she liked this ride. It was so funny when my dad said, "Yoo hoo, Harold" as Barney Gumble from The Simpsons. Always keep your hands up on the turns. DO NOT place them on both sides which may lead to injury, because theme park guests who aren't very intelligent ALWAYS tend to do that. It was one of the mistakes I made when my parents and I traveled to Disneyland this year in May. This year in October, I managed to keep my arms at both sides at every turn. I did learn from the mistake I made this year in May. Sometimes, my dad would always say, "Watch out for Harold". This year in October, I spoke Yeti to Harold and told him that my mom misses him. She's been diagnosed with vertigo.

[@ImToMLG4You]

matterhorn is awesome

[@roseford3483]

55 and still love this ride on my "'E' ticket" - it SHOULD be jolting; it's a BOBSLED!!! Husband is handicapped from stupid out-of-work driver/stupid'er Sonora, CA, CHP jerk December 1970 (you know who you are, RIP), and he LOVES THIS RIDE!!!

[@waterspirrit]

I guess trying to make the ride fit more people to move the line wasn't a good thing. The old carts had absurdly huge amount of space for feet if you weren't with someone. So since that couldn't make it any longer or taller then you have scrunch up a bit. I don't what people expect to them to when they were going to update the carts. They only have a limited amount of space.

[@bubbacheezit1777]

I love those new cars of the Matterhorn at 0:12

[@cranjeysans9624]

You can here music but around the attraction of the mountain is scary because of the wind noises around it

[@meganc-r1246]

I have never done this ride. Is it worth the wait??

[@Keltic619]

Not sure if it's the new track or the new sleds, but this ride got slower and more jerky IMO.

[@musicgirl999]

My bf and I wanna go to the parks again when the crowds die down in the fall. Woulda been awesome if they kept the lapsitting. But this is nice too.

[@tonyadrianmedina4996]

When I saw him I was like oh he'll nah and I covered my eyes for the hole ride

[@SAKOKAIAS]

InsideTheMagic, how does this compare? What are the pros and cons?

[@meiraaltman2278]

this is what they should update the space mountain seats to, here in orlando

[@applefan2151]

I rode it after it was refurbished and the ride feels much more bumpier now and hurts your buttocks because the seats are so tight.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

Actually, if you think about it, Walt Disney World kinda does have it's version of the Matterhorn Bobsleds - Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom.

[@bluedragon9925]

In terms of theming, I agree. In terms of ride system, I think *Space Mountain* more accurately qualifies as WDW's version of the Matterhorn since it literally uses the *exact* same style of track and very similar trains, while Expedition Everest is more like Big Thunder on Steroids.

[@AdiShoShuperShweet]

Always try to get on the left, the tomorrow land track is faster, rougher, and has a couple drops

[@THOMASRCT3FAN35]

Oh arrow, you made such great and original coasters! Farewell. :(

[@originalprettybird]

I haven't been there in six years. I'd forgotten the right side has better drops.

[@MsErika333]

This way it will be more comfortable for people and it will make it easier to get on.

[@ThatsGoodTelevision]

Usually I see more people going for the tomorrowland side more than the fantasyland side.

[@Perich29]

most of the rides are boken and closed, Rocket rods destroyed people mover, the Thunder mountain rail is closed right now. and there other rides that are broken so that makes it less now.

[@mdteletom1288]

It seems to be a decent ride to me but like Space Mountain Disney seems to put the brakes on early on the downhills so they never become full thrill rides. No hands up on this one, not with those low clearances. I would ride it though.

[@kevosmitho]

can you come down on the 18th cause im heading there on the 13th and staying at disneyland till the 18th and heading back home on the 19th i live like 12 hours away

[@actuallyitscady]

They have used it for Test Track in Disney World's epcot for years. :)

[@AdiShoShuperShweet]

The tomorrow land track is the left, the fantasyland track is the right. And make sure to try to get in the very back! You'll get the most speed! That goes for any ride!

[@JamesFTWin]

I never rode the original matterhorn bobsleds, or at least I don't remember ever riding them, so I have nothing to compare to.

[@htfdwlfpack]

i love how people dont get that its a bobsled and if you lean in the turns youll actually go faster,not by much but ever MPH counts :)

[@DeutschMickey]

I've been to Disney World several times, and last year when I went to California I went to Disney Land for a day. I had always heard about this ride, but when I rode it I was disappointed because it wasn't all that great. I like Big Thunder Mountain way way better.

[@meganc-r1246]

and one more thing wich place is the best: front or back??

[@warriorcatslides]

wait... in mattehorn 2012 is the east side the one slower with no drops and the west fast with 2 drops? I saw it on a different video but it doesnt say anything here. PLEASE RESPOND

[@andreapatane4204]

I had quick reflexes when my "Cactus League Spring Training Arizona" baseball cap fell off of my head on this ride. I managed to catch it just in time.

[@Diznebabe]

so is there any other problems for the ride involving how tall a person is?

[@chongmiester90]

Did they replace the track railing as well? The old one felt like the track was made out of spaghetti.

[@andreapatane4204]

The water from the alpine pool really wet my beautiful skin. It's a pity that my mom didn't join us on this ride.

[@XDVDX41]

Nope. It does it again at 4:37 and on all other videos.

[@maximilianrotondi941]

2:54 The blue bobsled no. 15 is about to go down the mountain.

[@somethinguncreative]

I'm so glad they didn't get rid of the Spanish "Remain seated please."

[@errorpaige]

Arizona has castles n' coaster which is injury waiting to happen, but Orlando is AMAZING

[@disneylandguy10]

I does seem slower on the Fantasyland side, but sitting on the very last seat fixed that for me.

[@jokerhalo1]

is ther much difference on which side you go on

[@crashskunk5888]

Are each side different from the other

[@r4tm0ther]

The left side is bumpier and a lot more fun in my opinion

[@JonandJayMomma]

So did they make it into a single rider ride?

[@coasterexpert7501]

the Matterhorn bobsleds was the first tubular steel traced coaster that was made by arrow this company would go on to help make the amusement industry what it is today

[@MoonLightHowl1]

I truly madly deeply believe and want Disneyland to reconsider remaking this ride, maybe like the one in Orlando with also a Yeti? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DESTROY THE MATTERHORN MOUNTAIN, just change the inside and the carts....that's what i think

[@person2310]

which one side do ppl prefer? fantasyland side or tomorrowland side?

[@okisabelle]

i went there last wendesday at night and i was waiting about 10 minutes to ride materhorn and it was my last day there and all the bobsleds broke except for 1 and i couldnt ride it because there was a really long line.

[@flaca123ish]

so glad they got rid of the old seats bcuz they were a bit awkward lol my brother and cousin (boy) had to sit in the same car lol

[@pinkpanther416]

Matterhorn is SO much more fun at night. you can't see as much so it makes it more exciting.

[@SpookyDisneyPrincess]

I'm sorry but the new bobsleds unfortunately made the ride awful and painful. They're bumpy, cramped, and they stick to the track, causing the bobsled to jolt constantly as it rides. This causes the bobsled to not glide smoothly and so speedily like the original did, which was an absolute thrill ride experience. I feel like Disney updating the bobsleds was not only for "safety", but it was also to control the line wait. Matterhorn had a long wait time before, and now I've noticed it's not as bad as before, and I'd say the uncomfortable experience is the reason why. I mean, Thunder Mountain is similar and it's got comfortable seating. Now don't get me wrong, I still love the Matterhorn a lot, but I'm afraid I'm deeply disappointed by the bobsleds.

[@DABOOM731]

were you in the back, the back is the bumpiest and most painful

[@SpookyDisneyPrincess]

Dante0986 I was in the second seat in the second sled, but it hurts no matter which seat you're in.

[@DABOOM731]

Marina Timmons you are wrong cause every seat is smooth but the last one.

[@ashlynrishu1674]

I had a minor concussion from the jolting, but I still go on it. I just can't resist.

[@josiahwhitsel4280]

Marina Timmons I went that ride but it didn’t Hurt When I went on but I went on the other side

[@builtinrush1]

Wait are those mountain climbers always there?? Ive never seen them before why are they there

[@guillermoalonso7454]

What side is better or funner to ride? My friends and I are going next week

[@nahhnee]

left :)!!!!!!!

[@spacebug30]

But this isn't a bobsled rollercoaster, this one stays on a rail? The whole decor looks awesome though, would love to go there some day!

[@GenGamesUniverse]

+all4Demi I think they changed it because of the 2 deaths that happened on the ride due to riders being stupid - i.e. not having their belts buckled or standing up.

[@spacebug30]

XTheVideoGamerGirlX Oh, really? That's sad :I The bobsled rollercoaster we have over here in all have lapbar restraints, staff checks if they're closed and you can't open them yourself so people can't so stupid things.

[@onewithacake]

The Matterhorn Bobsleds ride has always been a steel tube rollercoaster (In fact, it was the first steel tube rollercoaster in the world, introduced at Disneyland in 1959). It's never been a real bobsled coaster, the only bobsled is in the name.

[@onewithacake]

The deaths mentioned were in 1964 and 1984, before Disneyland introduced mechanical seat belts. (i.e: Seat belts that can't be unbuckled during the ride.)

[@bloodycrosses]

What type of camera are you using? The quality is amazing for being on such a quick open ride.

[@MarielPenollar]

I'll probably am going to ride this in the first two weeks of July since I'll be going there plus the new cars land at California Adventure

[@ghetty78]

I haven't rode this since I was in kindergarten. That snow monster use to scare the shit out of me

[@A.E.S.R]

You got green on both sides that's lucky and cool, I just wish they made the logs on splash mountain with seat belts and two in a row :\

[@TAMZYTAM]

What's the difference between the left track and right track

[@alliewhite2892]

the right track is bump and more fast, and left is slower and less bumpy

[@TAMZYTAM]

maybe ask the person whos working there

[@DesiraeSanMiguel]

What is the different (sorry can't spell) between the right and the left side

[@benkindelstudios]

HUGE change to the ride. I hope it makes the line move faster.

[@andreapatane4204]

Really? I hope that you'll have a great time. My parents and I went there on May 5-8.

[@tammymartarano7210]

Wait you can climb the side of the mountain?

[@rose53685]

I dont like the arrangement of the line. The line used to be real quick when both sides were open, but now there is one line for single riders and one line for stand-by people...This makes it harder because my sister is handicap and we would have to wait in the longest line then go past every else to the front, and go on. It used to be in a breeze

[@cascas2284]

Like I said before, I've never been to DL (I'm hoping to for D23) but I go to WDW at least once a month, so I know how you feel lol. BUT Our space mountain refurb was pretty great, IMO

[@skellingtonMCR]

Me too, and I'm only like 5'1 or 5'2. And those uncomfortable wells are so difficult to get in and out of. I sat by myself on the old bobsleds, you just had to tell the workers you're riding alone. It was all roomy and comfortable and shit and you could get a little bit of airtime. But on the new bobsleds its all awkward and cramped your legs are all spread apart like you're giving birth on the fucking rollercoaster. And the little handrail things are way too far back. I miss the old bobsleds.

[@BeautifullyMe15]

Im 5'8 and Im going this saturday do you think imma fit? Im also kinda chubby...

[@ciphersniper]

You'll be fine. I'm same height and very pooh sized and I fit. I do admit, it's not the most comfortable ride. All of the rides at Disneyland are pooh sized friendly except the swings at DCA

[@ashlynrishu1674]

Trust me, you'll fit!
