New Matterhorn Bobsleds

[bethyylovee]

Well, here's another thread on these guys. I wanted to put in my input.

I understand that I'm young, and a little more able to move around. That being said, I absolutely love the new bobsleds! I sat in front and I was so comfortable. I couldn't keep my legs straight, so I crossed them and it was so comfortable. So I don't know about you guys, but I love them.

I did not have a problem either except the seat is really hard. I had enough room. Dh lost his phone on it the other day but they found it within 24 hrs

I can't stand this ride. I wish they'd remove it and put a real coaster there. Yes I know it's an icon.

no offense but if you knew there was already a thread about this then why didn't you put your input there?
Otherwise you just make more threads and clutter the boards

Speak for yourself!

I cannot ride some scary, upside-down, speed of light roller coaster!

I love the Matterhorn!

Because I'm on my phone and at Disneyland and I wasn't about to scroll through 10 pages to find it...I see more clutter about other things all the time.

It bothers me none; there are SEVERAL threads on the same topics all over this forum, so don't sweat it.

Some people are just grumpy.

This is one of the only, if not the only thread that is pro-new bobsleds.

I didn't find it as bad as others. There was one time in the old bobsleds that I seriously felt like I was going to get thrown out. It made me very nervous. The new ones felt much more secure, just not as comfortable. Given the choice, I would much rather feel secure than comfy.

That being said, I can definitely see how someone with mobility issues, or someone tall would have a problem.

I do not find the new bobsleds to be any worse than the old one EXCEPT I wish they would have padded the seats.

I didn't think they were too bad when I was there last week, but I did find the right side of the ride to be more smooth than the left.

I just wanted to chime in on the subject of multiple threads covering the same exact topics...

Sometimes multiple threads on a topic are completely unnecessary and they do clutter the board, as well as make it confusing for people to know which thread to go to (to chat/discuss/learn). Sometimes people will see 10 different threads on a single topic and get so confused that they, in turn, end up starting yet another thread because they didn't know which one to turn to for answers! A noteworthy example of this was World of Color. When that debuted, the threads about it were plentiful!

Sometimes people accidentally start a new thread (or two or three) because they didn't see the original thread - it was an oversight. That happened recently with the "Limited Time Magic" announcement from the Disney Parks Blog. I started a thread about it, not having seen the first two threads about it when I posted.

Sometimes there are threads that all relate to the same main topic, but possibly have a different slant or a different sort of sub-topic (for example, there's the main subject of Limited Time Magic, and then there may end up being several different threads about the different themes involved in it when 2013 hits).

It does get a bit frustrating to see lot of different threads pop up that could basically all be condensed down to a couple of threads. But...we try to use our best judgment and discretion about which ones really need to be merged and which ones can stay as-is.

If I see threads that are literally covering the exact same topic or asking identical questions and there is no real difference, I will just merge the threads together. If I see that something has a bit of a different 'angle' to the conversation/thread, I will probably leave it alone. If a new thread pops up about a topic that was covered in an old thread that hasn't been active in a month, chances are we'd let the new thread stay as is because the old thread has been inactive.

So basically, I think we (the mods) deal with it on kind of a 'case-by-case basis.' Sometimes it's necessary to merge/delete threads. Sometimes it's not.

I hope that helps shed a little light on the 'multiple threads/same subject' issue for everyone.

This is what most people will say, I found the Tomorrowland (Left) side to be better than the Fantasyland Side (Right)
