Shouldn't that be Hans, Otto, and Fritz? I thought that the Disneyland Matterhorn had three mountain climbers.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "Considering the ongoing toonification, I'm surprised it's not Mickey, Buzz, and Stitch." Bwahahahahaa! "Here's a vintage image of the lederhosen sporting pair:" But who took the picture? Fritz? "Mickey climbs the Matterhorn sometimes, and Goofy." Yes, and I believe that those characters were a replacement for the "third" climber. I clearly remember three climbers on the Matterhorn back in the 70's and 80's.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <I've only ever heard of Hans and Otto, who scale the mighty Matterhorn.> My memory was that there WAS "Hans, Otto, and Fritz;" I remembered that from the hours I spent poring over the old guidebooks they gave out as you entered in the 60's and 70's. And through the wonders of the google machine... <a href="http://www.vintagedisneylandtickets.com/images/Disneyland%20Guide%20Book%20Spring%201976.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.vintagedisneylandti...1976.pdf</a> (Scroll down to page 15 of the pdf - page 26 of the booklet, under weekend and holidays entertainment - and you'll see they were indeed billed as the three of them.) Glad I'm not crazy! (And isn't that booklet a blast from the past?)
