60 Years of the Matterhorn!

Remain Seated, Please

Guete Daag! This week, we go in-depth on the history of the Matterhorn since this year it's celebrating 60 years at Disneyland! Walt's affinity for Swiss culture came to a head while filming THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN (1959) in Switzerland. He sent a postcard home with a photo of the Matterhorn on one side, and a simple direction on the other: "Build this!" Follow along with us as we recount details of the attraction both big and small! Check out some of these photos and a REALLY fun video I found of the Matterhorn's basketball "court!" A detailed rendering which includes the basketball hoop! Cast members having a ball! How about a little one-on-one?? Here's Mickey climbing during the 50th celebration: And here's the classic Ricola commercial! Here's the most amazing Skyway Bucket ride-thru video I have ever seen! And finally, get a load of these Minecraft videos. Some are VERY impressive! Do you have a favorite memory of the Matterhorn? Which side do you prefer? Let us know in the comments below!
