Matterhorn Bobsleds is a attraction that consists of a pair of intertwined steel roller coasters running through a fabricated mountain. It is located at Disneyland in Anaheim, California and is modeled after the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It is the first known tubular steel track roller coaster.[1][2] Located on the border between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, it employs forced perspective to seem larger.
