60 Years of the Matterhorn! – Remain Seated, Please

Guete Daag! This week, we go in-depth on the history of the Matterhorn since this year it’s celebrating 60 years at Disneyland!

Walt’s affinity for Swiss culture came to a head while filming THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN (1959) in Switzerland. He sent a postcard home with a photo of the Matterhorn on one side, and a simple direction on the other: “Build this!”

Follow along with us as we recount details of the attraction both big and small!

Check out some of these photos and a REALLY fun video I found of the Matterhorn’s basketball “court!”

A detailed rendering which includes the basketball hoop!

Here’s Mickey climbing during the 50th celebration:

And here’s the classic Ricola commercial!

Here’s the most amazing Skyway Bucket ride-thru video I have ever seen!

And finally, get a load of these Minecraft videos. Some are VERY impressive!
