Ride Review: The Matterhorn’s Bobsleds

Recently remodeled, a true e-ticket, the Matterhorn Bobsleds is exactly what one expects. A slippery and fast ride through the icy caves, with lots of sharp turns. Begin your expedition by entering the dark caves, the smell of wet asphalt fills the air, you’re headed towards the light. ROAR! The red eyes of the abominable snowman pierce through the curtain of darkness and off you speedily ascend and descend the mountain!
