I noticed Matterhorn has a closure coming this fall anyone know about anything? LOL is it maitnence like always or something more? you tell me cause im wondering.

Matterhorn is way overdue for a rehab. Usually it goes down in the fall but it couldn't last year by order of the Ouimet that nothing be closed during the 50th & no construction happen at all. Well they didn't make that 100% obviously, but many rides refurb schedules were stretched around the 50th & once the 50th is over you'll see a lot of rides hit refurb time sooner rather than later. Good to see Matterhorn at the top of the list.

yea but i hope its not like the past refurbs where it is down for months at a time.

HiddenMickey · 06-12-2006, 11:23 AM

Yeah Matterhorn is a ride that always need a refurb here and there.

Neo · 06-12-2006, 11:53 PM

ok 3 months aint that bad. I remember for like 5 years straight everytime i went to disneyland the matterhorn was closed. but that was like 7 years ago

HiddenMickey · 06-13-2006, 11:03 AM

That's not bad. It'll be up in time for the holidays, esp. Thanksgiving.

Alex_Toto_Disneyland · 06-17-2006, 04:44 PM

well hope they add new things

Rides and Attractions deserve great care. If they don't had a refurbishment, the ride will broke down and it will likely to cause accidents. Especially Matterhorn, it is a very old ride. Disney should make it smoother, like SM. So it won't be a unstable bumpy mountain adventure. I think they are inspecting the tracks, the Yeti AA, and the brakes.

except that it ALLLLWAYS ends up that way anyways heh. They need to do a good good good refurb/reimagineering for once just to build it so it doesn't need the lengthy refurbs all the time. Maybe they can add Jack Sparrow while they're at it =D

I was thinking Cuba Gooding Jr. and the snow dogs. I like how jerky the ride is. It gives it it's character. But I do agree it needs a nice refurb. I got some of it on tape. There was spots near the ground where the rockwork was breaking and the track looked pretty rusty and worn.

mara47 · 07-21-2006, 05:55 PM

all because of an old broad

Kileli · 07-21-2006, 09:06 PM

i also like the bumpyness. your in a bobsled, would feel smooth running over rocks and branches? i tink its just a regular checkup.

Xanderick · 07-31-2006, 08:57 AM

i heard they may be added some things. any idea what? lol at the Snow Dogs idea!

reillysix · 07-31-2006, 09:44 AM

I hope the don't change it. I wonder if RDCT will be effected by the refurb.

Neo · 07-31-2006, 10:47 AM

The refurb is in the off-season(school season) meaning that RDCT will either go on haitus or only be on weekends so it wont affect it much.
