Matterhorn Bobsleds, Steel roller coaster in Disneyland, California.

The mountain reaches 147 feet tall and contains two separate tracks where passengers ride bobsled vehicles through caves and alpine slopes.

Opening in 1959, this attraction introduced the first tubular steel track roller coaster design, setting new standards for amusement park engineering.

The design originated from Walt Disney sending a postcard of the Swiss Matterhorn mountain to Imagineer Vic Greene with instructions to build it.

The attraction requires guests to be at least 42 inches tall and features separate loading areas in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland sections.

An animatronic snow creature named Harold appears multiple times during the ride through dark mountain passages and icy caverns.
