Cool! - MarcoInTheAz  598.0 #183 11:18AM
I'm Stoked! I was told these weren't supposed to go in until the January renevation? - kaleighmungo  189.9 #1750 11:21AM
 - ladylikesdisney  921.5 #95 11:21AM
Lines will be longer cause of less seating capacity - Alanis#3  10.2 #6695 11:23AM
is it currently being installed or tested? - DonaldMissingPants  296.2 #632 11:24AM
Installed. Idk about testing! - kaleighmungo  189.9 #1750 11:25AM
@arben, not necessarily true.. many people didnt want others sitting on their lap (awkward) so they would usually seat 1 person in each bobsled.. now it seats 3 so.... - DonaldMissingPants  296.2 #632 11:26AM
Yay! Getting closer I missed you Matterhorn!!!! - ilovepeterpan  127.7 #2609 11:26AM
It looks like there will only be 3 people per sled instead of 4. Longer line ups... :( - proudcanuck  476.4 #250 11:27AM
Thanks for the info .. - BeagleBoy12  167.3 #2047 11:28AM
Aaawwwww!!! I'll miss the old ones!! - LilNishi  11.3 #6377 11:29AM
Look cool - Tealtownfan  693.1 #144 11:29AM
I thought the new ones were gonna be blue. Are there different colored ones? - JessicaRabbit33  667.9 #156 11:31AM
I'm 6'7" tall I doubt I'll be able to ride this now :( - bigmike77  17.4 #5358 11:31AM
Oh my gosh mike!!! You are tall Haha. I'm 5 foot! - kaleighmungo  189.9 #1750 11:33AM

I'm glad they didn't change the color. I wasn't digging the blue one - cesium55  529.7 #216 11:41AM

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme! (stewell angel's voice from A league of their own) - Starr  549.9 #201 11:47AM
There were bobsleds running on the tracks yesterday but I don't know if they were the old or new ones. - MainStreetMom  112.5 #2861 11:48AM
Pretty cool looking - GoofyHauntedMansion  24.6 #4690 11:49AM
So Excited! - rmichael  155.8 #2214 11:50AM
I hope its more comfortable now - Splashmountgirl  332.3 #463 11:50AM
I agree with @cesium55!! Also I can't wait till it opens back up!!!!!!!  - GreenLantern  648.9 #164 11:51AM
Thanks for the update I can't wait to test out the new sleds next time I go. - babycakes  166.6 #2062 11:51AM
They look just like the space mountain trains in Magic Kingdom :) - SkellyMouse  501.3 #238 11:53AM
How cool!!! When does it open again? - mimibee  329.6 #475 11:53AM
Sept 2nd :D - SkellyMouse  501.3 #238 11:53AM
Thank you shellymouse!! - mimibee  329.6 #475 11:54AM
Coolness ;+) - uscdisneyteacher  3089.5 #14 11:55AM
Well there goes the Matterhorn date test. You could always see how the date was going be letting the girl decide if you sat together or in separate seats '-) lol - Sam241  475.6 #254 12:04PM
Theyre so beautiful it makes me want to yodel. Like the yodeling guy from the Price is Right."Yodeleigh hee hoooo!!" - Starr  549.9 #201 12:05PM
Yay!!! My knees would always hit in the old ones so I hope these new ones are better =) - jedi-robert  25.9 #4593 12:05PM
I'm probably the only one that misses the old ones. I'm sure it'll still be my favorite ride. Can't wait for it to open up already!! - niickayy  23.3 #4790 12:08PM
Very happy to see those. Can't wait to try - mousefankyle  3.1 #25611 12:09PM
Boo I like the old ones - supertracy  435.6 #286 12:14PM
Sweet pic, can't wait to get back on the mountain. - AndrewJ  158.9 #2160 12:15PM
Hope they're smoother too, but I don't think so - connielu  672.2 #153 12:16PM
Weeeeeeee! - mcarthy6  426.5 #298 12:19PM
Wooooo Hooooooo!!! Can't wait till Sept 2nd!!! But they are probably not going to put the new bobsleds on the track till after the holiday season :( - Storybrooke  680.8 #149 12:55PM
lame! - missgoofy  367.8 #378 12:55PM
Nice... Can't wait to see em in action - MasterK  129.1 #2593 1:01PM
Haha!! @Sam241, that is so true. - AndrewJ  158.9 #2160 1:02PM
Oh those look amazing - oscarbee  135.1 #2518 1:28PM
-remain seated please- - pridegirl  377.3 #362 1:30PM
Koo - DisneyMM  116.0 #2798 1:31PM
Wow! Those look super slick! - JONvincible  214.3 #1427 1:33PM
I wonder will they have lap bars or seatbelts??? - disneydork  249.6 #1017 2:08PM
Hopefully still seatbelts. That ride isn't crazy enough to need lapbars - kaleighmungo  189.9 #1750 2:09PM
I heard they're lap bars - Jaytasmic  373.3 #367 2:13PM
LOL @ Sam241 and Starr! I would enter a Yodeling contest @ Matterhorn! That'd be fun!! - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1798.9 #42 2:13PM
They look like mini Monorails - GoofyHauntedMansion  24.6 #4690 2:14PM
Makes me a lil sad. That's my daughters favorite ride( she is 2). She has been riding that with me before she was 2 even. Her feeln safe with me helped her not being scared. I was able to keep her from being jerked around. I'll miss the old ones.  - WeLoveDisneyland  413.1 #313 2:22PM
I agree WeLoveDisneyland. My two year old loves this ride too. Not sure she can really do it now, but we will all enjoy it still! - kadestersmom23  4.1 #13250 2:27PM
I'll miss the old ones too. It was fun squeezing in with my nieces. They feel safe close to us. - JediTinker  26.1 #4577 2:29PM
I am sooo bummed. I'm really going to miss the old ones :( - Fairest_one  0.8 #44682 2:33PM
Interesting design I thought it would have been different but is that a hidden upside down Mickey on the back - puddy77  84.1 #3224 4:12PM
I will miss snuggling up with my hubby on cold nights. But most people don't sit together so hopefully this increases capacity. Lap bars will help too. I always feel like I will fly out. - DisneyBride°O°  366.5 #381 4:17PM
Those are awesome! Thanks for posting! I know my husband will enjoy the ride more now. He always sits behind me on the ride, but I am thin and bony and my shoulder blades will dig into his chest. Single seats may make the line longer but it will cause some people less pain. - sweetkat  285.6 #697 4:21PM
I'm definitely looking forward to these. I always get a little banged up on the Matterhorn. These seats look more secure in a way, so hopefully I won't have bruises after I'm done riding! - danishmodern  166.2 #2070 4:28PM
Are they keeping the height requirement the same? My 4 year old loves this ride (her favorite) and is only 35 1/2 inches so not sure how the lap bar will do - 4ladiesandalittleman  29.2 #4403 4:38PM
I thought they were supposed to be side by side?!.. - ponyboy  22.7 #4838 4:50PM
@ ponyboy, do you have a brother named soda pop?  (SE Hinton fan?) - connielu  672.2 #153 4:55PM
YaY!!!! I'm excited for these new ones! - WicKeD  282.3 #719 4:56PM
lol, indeed! - ponyboy  22.7 #4838 4:57PM
So excited!! Can't wait to see them in person. I do hope they are more comfortable.... - DisneyPrincessFreak  215.3 #1412 5:27PM
They look more comfortable!! :) - YoungDisney  369.0 #374 5:28PM
They look like the wdw space mountain trains - TikiJOSEsWingman  329.5 #476 5:30PM
Yea! I can't wait to ride it sometime next spring!  - hairdog67  241.5 #1097 5:34PM
Thanks for sharing - E-Ticket  772.4 #128 5:36PM
Super Cool ! - justReggie  154.0 #2242 5:40PM
When is it up and running again? Nevermind..saw the date! - dereknca  1.3 #40251 7:06PM
They are lovely! - BlackCanary86  40.9 #3968 7:09PM
Thanks for the pic! - ekwhite  463.3 #263 7:11PM
Hope they are just as fun :) - kaleighmungo  189.9 #1750 7:22PM
Cool - Dizkid  284.2 #707 7:24PM
Yay can't wait to try out the new Bobsledds - CMminnieluver  5.3 #9947 7:27PM
Your at Disneyland and didn't tell me!? Jerk. Last time i'm taking you to D23! - mwonandroid  348.8 #414 7:28PM
Wahhhh - kaleighmungo  189.9 #1750 9:19PM
Wow...they look nice! - ZipadeeMickey  282.1 #720 9:19PM
That is awesome. Can't wait to see the new updates. - OCdrumGuy  549.0 #203 9:20PM
Woo hoo maybe I'll enjoy that ride for once! - TheKaJaSi  144.8 #2371 9:21PM
Yea! Can't wait for it to open....I've missed it. p.s. Left side is the best side! - VeloMouseGirl  549.7 #202 9:22PM
Awesome!(: - princessVanessa  382.5 #352 9:23PM
They look a bit tight on leg room. I agree with @WeLoveDisneyland that my kids felt safe riding this cuz you could hug them tight. I will miss the old ones, hope we still get thrown around in these!  - jjdq  326.7 #490 9:34PM
Wow can't wait for this - kameleongt  177.9 #1891 9:37PM
Shnazzy! - BriHizzle  306.0 #578 9:37PM
Oooooo cool! - nothinsuss  210.7 #1482 9:39PM
Love it - jack48  147.8 #2318 9:43PM
Oh very cool! - CadaverousPallor  263.5 #884 9:44PM
I sure hope there is better padding because my tailbone could hardly make it in the old sleds. These do look safer too. - SoCalJean  170.2 #2003 9:50PM
Haha I never really had any problems with the other ones but I hope we fly around in these!!! - kaleighmungo  189.9 #1750 10:31PM
I hope its still the bumpy old ride......i work in construction, love it how I am required to wear a hard hat all the time but the "big wigs" come out and they dont have to. - RyanP  242.3 #1086 10:43PM
They will have locking seatbelts kinda like the ones on Indy / Star Tours. - Clu2.0  773.0 #127 10:59PM
Really clu? That's what I wad hoping for! So no lap bar? - kaleighmungo  189.9 #1750 12:25AM
