Matterhorn Bobsleds

from Spoken Wikipedia Podcast · host Matty2025

Matterhorn Bobsleds is an attraction that consists of a pair of intertwined steel roller coasters running through a fabricated mountain. It is located at Disneyland in Anaheim, California and is modeled after the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It is the first known permanently-installed tubular steel track roller coaster, though coasters with tubular steel tracks had toured European fairs as early as 1956. Located on the border between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, it employs forced perspective to seem larger than its actual size. Read by Matty2025.
