Question Matterhorn Refurb?

I was under the impression that the ride was closed til' 12-15-07 for major refurbishments. I think I might have been wrong though. Anyone know what the official date is/was? Also, what kind of major refurbishments will they/ have done?

The Matterhorn has been open since 12-15-06, I believe.
It was just the annual refurb for the Matterhorn.

^Yup. They redid the snow fabric projections(I think they moved them too....) on the lift hills, turned down the volume on Harold's growls, made the track smoother which made it faster and probably touched up the paint. And, If I'm not mistaken, either the bobsled trains were refurbished or were replaced.

I know a new lift hill was installed on the Tommorrowland side, and Fantasylands side was closed while I was there last week for it's new lift hill, as they didn't have time to do it during the refurb.
