Matterhorn Bobsleds
About this ride
The bobsled coaster winds through dark tunnels, icy caverns, and open outdoor sections where you can see the park below. The Yeti appears multiple times before the splashdown finale. The right track is generally considered the slightly more thrilling. The coaster is rougher than modern attractions, but that's part of its vintage Disney charm.
Best time to ride
Rope drop or Multi Pass. Lower capacity than Indiana Jones or Space Mountain, so lines build quickly.
Insider tips
- The right (Tomorrowland-side) track is slightly more intense.
- There is actually a basketball court inside the mountain — cast members occasionally play on breaks.
- Riders in the back of the bobsled feel the bumps more.
- The final splashdown gets you lightly wet.
- Ask a cast member if Harold (the Yeti's nickname) is currently operational.
What to know before you ride
- Moderately rough ride — older coaster technology means more jolts than modern coasters.
- Tight spaces inside tunnels.
- Minor splashdown.
- Not recommended for guests with neck or back sensitivities.

Mateo's Take
“The coaster that launched the entire theme park industry. Ride the right track, hang on, and appreciate that you're experiencing a piece of history.”

View all →Indiana Jones Adventure is the crown jewel of Adventureland — and honestly, one of the best theme park attractions ever built, full stop. You're boarding a troop transport jeep and blasting off into the Temple of the Forbidden Eye alongside Indy himself, dodging booby traps, fire, a giant rolling boulder, and a very unhappy snake. The queue alone is worth 30 minutes of your day.

Space Mountain has been Disneyland's signature indoor coaster since 1977. It tops out around 35 mph, but complete darkness makes every twist feel like you're flying through space with zero warning. The unique single-file seating makes it feel more personal and intense than any other version of the ride.
