The Matterhorn Bobsleds or the Matterhorn is an attraction composed of two intertwining steel roller coasters, which opened in 1959 at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It is modeled after the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Swiss Alps. It is the first tubular steel continuous track roller coaster ever constructed and thus an ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts) Coaster Landmark.
Located on the border between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, it employs forced perspective  to seem more impressively large. Throughout the day, climbers dressed  in Swiss mountain-climbing garb may be seen scaling the peak, often  accompanied by Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse and Goofy.
