The Matterhorn Bobsleds is a pair of intertwined steel roller coasters that opened at Disneyland on June 14th, 1959. In this episode, we talk about the first-ever steel roller coaster’s origins, the ride itself, and the changes that have taken place over the attraction’s 60-year lifespan.

Special shoutout to Dave DeCaro and Gorillas Don’t Blog for preserving the past of Disneyland with their photos. Check out their websites for more: davelandweb.com gorillasdontblog.blogspot.com
