This almost gave me a heart attack. The WDW version is one of my kids' favorite rides, and we've heard the DL version is even better.

It’s way better! Has music with it too and it is really smooth.

Nope Space Mountain will be up and running. Disneyland’s is much better than WDW!

It's different because The Matterhorn is actually the same (or pretty similar) as the WDW Space Mountain. They built Space Mountain in MK based on The Matterhorn ride system, hence the single row "bobsled" style seating. Space was popular, but they couldn't just build another Marterhorn at DL plus they didn't have the space so they went with a new design with a smaller footprint. It's debatable which one is "better" but the actual ride at DL is probably superior. I still prefer the MK version though for it's larger scale and entrance tunnel, etc.
