 roller coaster, place with historical importance, tourist attraction
The Matterhorn Bobsleds is an attraction which takes riders on bobsleds in and out of Matterhorn mountain. It was designed by WED enterprises (now called Disney Imagineering) and Arrow Dynamics as the first tubular steel roller coaster ever constructed. This distinction has earned it a place as one of the American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) landmarks.

The attraction was refurbished in 2013 with new bobsleds, track, and a new paintjob to the mountain structure. Guests now go single file 3 in one bobsled with no lap sitting with 2 bobsleds connected.
