When I was at DL last weekend a CM told us that in a couple of months the Matterhorn will be closed for a year to replace the track. I guess they are getting new bobsleds that are wider than the ones they have now. :( It's one of my favorite rides.
I can't wait until they replace the track. Then I can ride it again. - PrincessDuckie

The track was replaced during the summer and the new bobsleds come in next. - CxD_CM

Oh cool. Is the ride smoother now, like Space Mountain? - PrincessDuckie

I never really got irritated from the bumpiness but the only time I really feel a jolt is on the quick drops or turns. - CxD_CM

So is it really going to be closed for a year? - SteamboatMinnie

No, it is open right now and then it's supposed to close again after the holidays. - CxD_CM

A CM at the Matterhorn told me that the reason it was closed earlier this year was to replace stuff on the bobsleds and that in a couple of months it will be closed for a year to replace the tracks for the new bobsleds and put in the new bobsleds. He said the new sleds are wider and don't fit these tracks that are on now. Just passing on what the cast member said. - Photogirl7

That doesn't make sense because someone posted pics of the new sleds being tested on these tracks. - SueBayou

Don't know what pictures were posted, just stating what I was told. When I was there last weekend it looked like the old sleds and track to me and there was def no sleds that were wider when I rode it. Don't know... :( - Photogirl7

Search MW and right before it opened there are videos of them testing the new bobsleds with weights. - CxD_CM
