Matterhorn is closed during our trip in April! :(

[mickeymom629]

This is a ride I remember loving from when I was younger and I was looking forward to going on it with DH and DS for their first trip during spring break - but I see that it is closed for refurbishment until June

Now you'll just have to go back after June as well

Use it to make a summer trip!

I'm in the same spot and am so disappointed too. We will be there early May and will miss it.

The Matterhorn was closed for us for 3-4 consecutive trips growing up. I didn't get to ride it until I was 17. Bummer.

Deffiently shouldn't be too big of a surprise for anyone who has been doing any type of planning for a trip.

 

[croppincolburn]

I'm bummed too. This is an upgrade isn't it?

 

[disneychrista]

They are replacing the bobsleds, doing a major refurbishment (cleaning & repainting) with some minor upgrades.

 

[DharmaLou]

I'm excited to see the changes this fall!

Yes, those folks who have time to check on in the forums far in advance can get these tips. But the Matterhorn closure happening now was know last July. Bummer for the OP.

Redoing tracks and installing new bobsleds and fixing up the entire mountain.

The summer closure was pre-work for this. This is actually the third closure for Matterhorn.

It needs some major work. I remembered it as one of my favorites from my childhood visits many years age. We went recently and wow was it a rough ride - didn't remember that for sure.

 

[larina]

Yes, it is a very rough ride, that is why it was always my favorite...until now. I'm older and I hurt a bit when I got off in December. Not a lot, but I felt it for sure.

Thanks Skiingfast..I was actually wondering. Looks like we'll just miss it.

Glad to see this. I was definitely wondering. Glad it is supposed to be open before our trip. I will believe it for sure when I actually see the scaffolding come down on the web cam

Don't worry the 15th is sourced officially from Disney.
