January 2, 2012 10:35 AM
Don't forget MWers this week is the last week to ride with a buddy in your lap before the Matterhorn closes on Jan 9 for a 6 month overhaul including new single seat bobsleds! Get those last rides in!
Won't be so awkward anymore...too bad for those on dates at DL, this was the perfect ride - MarshaMouse
2871.3 #15 10:43AM
Not for me π I'm tall and I date tall guys....makes sitting in front very uncomfortable π - KissDclown 1088.1 #77 10:47AM
Lol ohhhh I can see that, I barely fit perfectly - MarshaMouse 2871.3 #15 11:00AM
Lol, I'm only 5'5" and my hubby is 5'10" and we just barely fit. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 11:02AM
My husband and I are both 5'7" and we resigned to the fact that it wasn't comfortable to ride together about a year ago. My knees would get bruised! - LaneSparrow316 846.9 #108 11:09AM
I'm 5'9 1/2" and I only date 6" and above. Imagine us sitting in there lol - KissDclown 1088.1 #77 11:52AM
Err, 6' I think. I hope. π - Tom 3876.4 #7 1:51PM
Did I just go there? - Tom 3876.4 #7 1:52PM
Talk about being in a weird position @kiss!! π³ ohh yah that wouldn't work - MarshaMouse 2871.3 #15 1:54PM
ππππ yes 6' - KissDclown 1088.1 #77 4:35PM
Omg Tom πππ - iFramedRogerRabbit 1956.2 #36 4:36PM
Lolol very true Marsha - stevesdisneyprincess 80.7 #3272 6:51PM
I'm 6'1 my wife 5'8 we were unable to sit together - Kurt76 32.4 #4270 7:00PM
I recall many awkward rides with various people from my past..and present - Bo22 331.1 #469 7:05PM
Lol, I just saw this - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 7:12PM
Hahaha!! True! - AshleyLynn22 747.6 #136 8:46PM
I never even got a chance to ride with my man. So unfair. - MagicalCaprice 480.6 #248 5:45AM
This mean you finally captured one? - donnievegas 1127.5 #73 11:22AM
Yes........ In my mind. - MagicalCaprice 480.6 #248 11:31AM
I'm still having trouble believing I won't be able to grope anymore - dug_one 1431.6 #55 11:45AM
And there is why I am happy it's leaving now. - MagicalCaprice 480.6 #248 4:03PM
Mixed emotions here. Old sleds were the old school I came to love since my childhood. But this old fart needs comfort and safety in his old age, and if they save my back, neck & kidneys I'm all for it. lol - splashphotoCM
880.9 #101 10:45AM
down for *6* months' wow!! hopefully yeti gets a bath! - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1800.9 #42 11:00AM
At least brush his teeth, he be having some mean bad breath lately - MarshaMouse 2871.3 #15 11:04AM
Doesn't 6 months see like an abnormaly long time to be down? - donnievegas 1127.5 #73 11:30AM
i think so. I really think so. maybe they have to lay new tracks? Smoover ride? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1800.9 #42 11:42AM
@donnie - the Yeti already requested vacation days back to the Alps. He's planning a ski trip with family that can't be changed. Disney agreed this was fair. - Alicewhoareyou 536.3 #210 7:15PM
Wish I could take 6 month vacations! Perk of being a DL Yeti I guess! lol - donnievegas 1127.5 #73 11:21AM
Maybe now I won't have to worry about which seat I get to be able to brace myself for the ride. Being short doesn't work in the front seat. - LilSterner
2656.0 #18 11:11AM
I'm short too, makes bracing yourself kinda difficult indeed. - Cinderellamomma 293.5 #652 11:14AM
haha that's what made it fun for me xD - Jillian 765.4 #129 11:14AM
Lol - MonorailLover1959 543.2 #206 11:15AM
6 months? What was the point of closing it this past summer then? - cesium55
529.7 #217 11:16AM
I heard there's gonna be mermaid yetis and a loop and a new restaurant inside. - Mouse4life
1085.3 #78 11:15AM
Awwe, I love loosening my seatbelt and having the front car to just rag doll around in! So sad they are changing it, and closed for 6 mo?! π¨π¨π¨Ouch - rawnuhCM
301.8 #603 11:19AM
Can't wait to see all the upgrades that are planned for the mountain! Hopefully WDI doesn't go Expedition Everest Disco Yeti crazy on us! I'd like our snowman to work! πππ - MonorailLover1959
543.2 #206 6:49PM
I seriously can't brelieve I won't be able to grope anymore....... - dug_one
1431.6 #55 7:10PM
Get ahold of yourself! - splashphotoCM 880.9 #101 11:48AM
You mean no more tweaked back while holding on to my son so he doesn't flop over the side??? Lol - scbcrew
138.7 #2464 6:18AM
I'm excited for the single seats!! Always afraid I'm gonna squish my buddy in uncomfortable places :-( - sarahnimal
180.0 #1862 10:33AM
Right?!! Lol - Madimay 176.3 #1912 10:50AM
Just asked a Matterhorn CM about the new sleds and height restrictions and he said most like 42" will be the minimum. I'm bummed for my 38" daughter! - ktkakes
325.2 #503 11:34AM
Thank goodness for new single seats! - DisneyFan(tasmic)
188.0 #1774 10:36AM
Yeah in a way I'm excited for the new ones but then I know I'll miss te old bobsleds! :-( - MonorailLover1959 543.2 #206 10:40AM
Praying for a smoother ride! - ThatGuyWithNegativeMouseRank
535.3 #211 10:39AM
Boooo! The old seats were part of the Matterhorn's charm! - Spoonful_O_Sugar
436.3 #285 10:40AM
Totally agree! But hopefully this way it's easier to group people on the ride and keep back up (and ultimately break downs) forms forming since people don't know there are 2 seatbelts one for each person! Lol - MonorailLover1959 543.2 #206 10:42AM
I know...they HAD to change this, lol! But I'll still miss it! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 10:43AM
Me too! :-( we should totally have a MW farewell Matterhorn ride on Sunday the 8th! LoL - MonorailLover1959 543.2 #206 10:45AM
We should! I will actually be there on the 8th :D - Jillian 765.4 #129 10:55AM
I'm so going to miss those old snuggly seats! - LAFDWifey 81.5 #3264 11:48AM
That's why we're here!! - Lola027
444.9 #277 10:41AM
Just finished my farewell ride. - BRabbit
312.0 #549 10:42AM
Sad ξ - apanda1983 180.0 #1864 11:27AM
:( wish I could of rode it one last time. The last time I got to ride it was 5 years ago - NeverlandTink
421.4 #304 10:46AM
Oh, NT :( - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 10:50AM
That's Weak! - donnievegas 1127.5 #73 10:54AM
We have to get you and the bf out here! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 10:56AM
Psh I can leave Scott behind haha. - NeverlandTink 421.4 #304 11:19AM
Your a butthead donnie. Thats my fave ride so its very sad - NeverlandTink 421.4 #304 11:31AM
Rode it in the fog on NYE. Very cool! - KurtRock
4.7 #11175 10:49AM
haha, lots of hilarious memories forcing certain people to sit together xD Glad I get to catch it before the refurb. - Jillian
765.4 #129 10:51AM
Maybe it will be easier to get in and out for those of us who have back problems then I can go on again - nikole31
240.4 #1112 10:56AM
Get your final rides in with your bros! - chris.
2507.3 #24 10:56AM
Yay! No more dirty looks when we say "12 singles please!" - ladylikesdisney
921.5 #95 10:58AM
Bahahaha! One time, I was riding solo and the cm was looking for two. A couple of burly guys raised their hands and he told them it was two together. The looks on their faces! I got their spot! π - bluefairy 627.2 #174 11:09AM
Yay my knees are going to love the new bobsleds!!!πππ - Waites4DodgerEars
659.9 #158 11:04AM
Are they going to change height requirements to go along with the single riders? I just can't see 35" 3 years olds riding by themselves. - Cinderellamomma
293.5 #652 11:13AM
You're right, I bet they'll change it. - apanda1983 180.0 #1864 11:25AM
I'm happy for the change, the ride is great, but it can be horrible if you rode with the wrong person. - Sarafina
398.7 #335 11:14AM
Wait...... That means no more public gropingπ - dug_one
1431.6 #55 11:15AM
Lol - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 11:16AM
I'm going to miss riding with my daughter π - LBChica
1500.3 #52 11:23AM
I feel you. My daughter is under a 1/4 inch away to be able to ride. Most likely we will be waiting years til she can get on. - bellaminnie 264.5 #877 3:27AM
Darn! We're planning a trip in March so I guess we're gonna miss out. - Hesatalkintome
26.9 #4535 11:24AM
We are going in May. It's my son's favourite ride. He will be so disappointed... - proudcanuck 476.4 #250 4:40PM
I'm gonna have a sad. π - SkellyMouse
501.3 #239 11:25AM
Oh no!!! - Dimo
66.3 #3473 11:27AM
Aww man :( this is one of the rides I ride every single time I go! Disneyland won't be the same not being able to ride it for 6 months :( - clariceariel15
3.4 #17881 11:29AM
Glad we rode it Saturday night. I'm 6' 1" 290 and my wife is 5' 9" ~130 and we like the snuggle (once we get through the acrobatics if squeezing in and getting settled!). Gonna miss that! - KurtRock
4.7 #11175 11:37AM
Might want to edit your comment...women don't like to reveal their weight, lol! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 11:40AM
Ha ha. That's why I said around (~) 130. When I speak of a ladies weight, my tolerance is /- 50 lbs! I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid! LOL! - KurtRock 4.7 #11175 11:51AM
Lol! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 11:54AM
If I was 130 I'd be so happy and shout it to the world!!! - ima-pirateswife 432.4 #289 11:55AM
Heck, I'd be ecstatic with 230! - KurtRock 4.7 #11175 12:09PM
Lol!!! - ima-pirateswife 432.4 #289 7:02PM
Oh man, no more cuddling with my husband during the ride! - ima-pirateswife
432.4 #289 11:54AM
βπsingle rider - Plumiegirl
3345.9 #10 11:55AM
I hope they have single rider!!! But rides like Space Mountain don't have single rider so idk :( - Jenniferr 428.0 #295 1:52PM
I never got to cuddle on that ride. I'm 6'1 and so is my husband. It never really worked out. - MrsFELIXTHECAT
284.5 #706 12:09PM
Where there's a will, there's a way! ;-) - KurtRock 4.7 #11175 12:12PM
I wonder if they will offer a single rider line now?? - MonorailLover1959
543.2 #206 1:43PM
Making sure I plan my trip to go around the time it re- opens! We missed going last July cuz it was closed for the new tracks being put In! - calidream1
386.4 #347 1:46PM
I love watching 4 grown dudes stuff themselves into a single bobsled...so hilarious - Kari_Bo_Berry
361.5 #388 1:50PM
Does anyone know why it takes 6 months to put the new cars in? - kskating
377.5 #361 4:26PM
I think they're fixing the track to be smoother - Starr 549.9 #201 4:29PM
Harold needed some PTO after the holidays. - vincentchase 642.1 #169 4:32PM
They are doing a station remodel to accomodate the new cars! Some track upgrades, new effects, etc! - MonorailLover1959 543.2 #206 10:30AM
Thanks for the reminder! - YummyMummy
17.1 #5378 4:27PM
Got to go tomorrow!! - JLAC
214.4 #1427 4:35PM
Glad my 2.5 yr old rode in the beginning of December.. Just measured him at the docs this morning and and he's like 38.5 inches already so if it does go to 40 he might have to wait... although if we get APs we will try when it opens... our next scheduled visit is the end of may... we shall see.. - Disneylanddad702
401.7 #330 5:30PM
6 months is forever and a day to a Disneyaholic! - disneylegoman
330.6 #472 6:55PM
True. This is kinda sad! - Dimo 66.3 #3473 6:55PM
We usually go separate but I still plan on getting a few times around the mountain in before it goes down. - 415beachgirl
469.0 #259 7:07PM
I just hope the new cars have softer seats for us "mature" riders!! - edcub
224.2 #1306 7:18PM
so will it be open on the 9th or is the 8th the last day its open? i wanna go but dont wanna be there with the crowds now - lisamb83
13.0 #6030 8:45PM
The 8th is the last operating day! It will be closed on the 9th! :-) - MonorailLover1959 543.2 #206 1:52AM
Thank you for the update! I'm going to Disneyland this Wednesday so I'll be sure to do a Matterhorn Marathon! Maybe they are doing some renovations at the top for Tinkerbell too. :) - CaptainEuni
4.6 #11454 2:40AM
Sad for the new sleds because now more than likely my lil one won't be able to ride. She's 2 1/2 and we were just able to get her in the ride this past Dec and she was ok because I was holding her. I don't feel comfortable not being able to wrap my arms around her ;( oh wells maybe in a few years when she's ready. - Keala76
293.1 #655 5:32AM
Kinda sad. - DisneyTim
12.9 #6056 6:13AM
Yeti and I are going to miss those. - PrettyPixie 759.2 #132 10:09AM
That really makes me sad....lots of great memories on that ride. I agree, I love holding my kids close on that ride too! - Shortygirl
3.2 #23715 10:53AM
Bump - captnLEO
7.0 #8204 10:56AM
We got four rides in yesterday... I'll be sad to see the changes... We fit *perfectly* into the bobsleds. I am 5'9'' and my partner is 5'11'', it is snuggly - but isn't that half the fun?! :) We'll be back next week to ride it a couple more times. - Lola027
444.9 #277 11:01AM
I'm SO glad you posted this! My 3 year old is barely tall enough and we have to get her on it one more time! Will they change the height restrictions after the new bobsleds are installed? :( she'll be heartbroken if she can't ride anymore! - LoveDland
300.7 #609 11:13AM
I'm pretty sure my boyfriend and I have the best story when It comes to the whole sitting in the others lap...how many of you remember that story I shared a while back? - TeenMickey
381.7 #354 11:29AM
I hope my lil girl is ok w/ that . We shall see when the time comes . - jmza4
239.2 #31532 11:45AM
I know!! I don't think my little girl will be too happy about having to wait to ride something she was previously allowed to ride... Maybe by the time it reopens she will be tall enough... Fingers crossed! - ktkakes 325.2 #503 12:05PM
I totally understand why they are changing the cars...but it makes me soooo sad!!! I will miss sitting with my BF :( - CuriousAsAlice7
30.6 #4352 1:35PM
My BF and I always ask to sit separate. - MXPrincess399
482.1 #246 1:42PM
Only 4 more days left! :-( - MonorailLover1959
543.2 #206 9:59AM
I wish they didn't change the colors of the cars. I think I'd be more ok with it then - cesium55
529.7 #217 10:08AM
My baby girl (9yrs old)won't like the change she's scared of coasters only one she likes is Matterhorn sitting alone might not be ok with my little scardycat - lisaw
96.3 #3075 10:12AM
Lame! Now you reduce the ride from 8 to 6? Where's the thinking on this one? And now I'll have to wait forever to take my new son on unlike in the past. This is an epic fail! It's like they don't want anymore "date" rides in the parks anymore for you and your sweetie! - DiscoSteve
252.3 #990 5:13PM
They are putting in extra sleds to account for the two occupant loss. - splashphotoCM 880.9 #101 11:49AM
"Remember this voice Eddie? I talked just like this after this ride"! - splashphotoCM
880.9 #101 9:28PM
Only one more day! - MonorailLover1959
543.2 #206 11:26AM
Good thing I rode it with my family yesterday!! - Lizzy22liz
32.0 #4286 11:35AM
Still haven't done this need to before tomorrow - HanLostLeia
1092.6 #76 11:39AM
Looks like you have to be short and skinny to fit in those new seats - mstiauna27
89.3 #3154 12:21PM
Somewhat awkward when your bf is 5'4" and barely 105 lbs, while you're 5'5" and a bit more plump and he has to sit in front of you. My back was sore for hours, only did this one once. - DodgerAndRita
25.4 #4639 3:24PM
Will it be closed on the 9th or is that the last day and be closed on the 10th? Thanx in advance :) - yvetteissogoofy
162.1 #2124 4:02PM
