Tuesday Trivia: Did you know? The Matterhorn Bobsleds in - TopicsExpress



          

Tuesday Trivia: Did you know? The Matterhorn Bobsleds in Disneyland® Park opened on 14 June, 1959 as the first roller coaster ride in Disneyland, but also claimed the title of first tubular steel coaster in the world! The Matterhorn mountain is 147 feet high, about one-hundredth the size of its Swiss counterpart; however using the technique of forced perspective, it appears much larger. More than 800 gallons of paint were used to create the fallen snow on the mountainside (youll note its heavier on the north side), and glass beads have been attached as well so the snow glistens in the sunlight. Its truly a classic Disneyland attraction!
