Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I doubt your next trip will be that much worse off if you only ride it once a trip anyway. Close your eyes on Space Mountain and imagine furry white snowmen and you'll be there.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt I'm trying to think which attraction at DLR would bum me out if were closed on my visit... For me I think it would be Screamin' or maybe ToT. Indiana Jones would be at the top of the list as well.
Originally Posted By mickeymorris1234 I think we are jumping the gun here, aside from a cast member there has been no indication that Matterhorn will be closing for 18 months. We all know it will be going down for a month or two next year for the car installation and it's standard refurb, but I am waiting till I hear it from someone like Al or the Disney Blog before I say it's closing for 18 months.

Originally Posted By Moon Waffle Thanks mickeymorris, when I originally posted this I tried to make it clear that this was simply a single cast member and personally, I don't believe a word of it. But I was curious to get the thoughts of others (have they heard the same, is it possible for a ride to be down this long, etc.)... Certainly didn't expect anyone to take my OP as fact...
Originally Posted By Bellella I don't ride it only once per trip by choice. There are so many amazing rides at D-land, and I hardly ever get to go, that I really feel the need to cram everything possible into one day up until closing time. I am barely able to squeeze in FastPasses for Splash, Thunder, Space, and Autopia and go on all the other rides, including a 40-minute wait for the Matterhorn. But I always have to ride it, since it's my favorite coaster. One time when I was twelve-thirteen, they had the Matterhorn shut down for months (I'm not sure how long exactly) and my trips during that time seemed woefully incomplete. It was the same way when Small World closed for a year. I can only hope that whatever they do to the Matterhorn will be a solid improvement.
Originally Posted By MrMikeyDk ^^^ I hope not! It would ruin the ride for me if they added anything. The ride is perfect just as it is with Harold.
Originally Posted By Bellella Oh, you darn right! I just hope it really won't take 18 MONTHS to do whatever it is they're doing.
