April 2, 2016: In an unusual “non revenue” producing move, Disneyland Resort has added seat cushions on it’s popular Matterhorn Mountain Bobsled ride. The Matterhorn Bobsleds opened in 1959 and was the first tubular steel track roller coaster in the world. Today, it’s still one of the Park’s most popular attractions. Although Disney says it will make the ride less rough, some early riders disagree and say the ride experience is actually rougher. By the way, Disneyland employees have named the snowman the ride passes inside the mountain “Harold” — and he’s been upgraded to be more animated.
