Originally Posted By Kathi K Sure would be nice if they added Fastpass to the Matterhorn. We have not ridden it yet because the lines are always so long.
Originally Posted By berol The line is usually short at opening and, if the park is open late, at closing.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle Don't be intimidated by the looks of the length of the line for the Matterhorn, Kathi K. It really does move fast. When we were there last month, the line was about a quarter of the way around the mountain and we were in bobsleds in 15 minutes.
Originally Posted By GreenMother That's one of the draws for us, that long line. It reminds me of being a kid and seeing that line stretch around the base of the Matterhorn. Although now I don't ride it because it kills my back. Well, actually, I have been talked into it a few times in the last 5 years or so... for the kids' sake. What we won't do for our children, huh?
Originally Posted By nemopoppins Even all the way around the mountain the line for the Matterhorn is only about a half an hour at the most. I think the sign says 45 minutes but it's always less. And it's a fun line to wait in. It moves and either side immerses you in such nice aspects of Disneyland atmosphere, especially when the monorail is running. Besides, the ride is one that is worth the wait.
Originally Posted By AaronInCal Actually, there has been a multi-year plan in place to basically completely "rebuild" the Matterhorn. Usually, this has happened every year just after Labor Day and lasts until the middle of November. Last year, because of the 50th, they did not do a refurb on the mountain. So they are staring back up with those lengthy refurbs this fall.
