Unfortunately, Disney has yet to schedule a reopening date for the 6-person bobsled that is well known for its nickname, the “Spine Adjuster” (similar to Space Mountain), we’re curious about what Disney is planning during the indefinite closure.
It wasn’t too long ago Walt Disney World Resort closed its snow-capped roller coaster, Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain. The refurbishment lasted a lengthy three months as Guests were left missing the thrilling attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park.

Now, as the theme park summer crowds come to an end, Disneyland Resort has closed its popular mountain ride. The hope, however, is that Disney will have the attraction up and running in time for the popular D23 Expo, which takes place September 9-11, 2022. At this time, however, we have yet to know when Matterhorn Bobsled will reopen.
Disney describes the Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction with “Conquer the Mountain – and a Mythic Monster:”
Climb into a 6-person bobsled and brace yourself against howling winds as you ascend 80 feet up into an icy cave. Take in the sweeping views at the summit and prepare for a thrilling, high-speed ride.
Swoop in and out of shadowy caves and along jagged rocky ledges. Throttle through snowy chutes and around frozen precipices. Fly across bridges and under waterfalls before splashing down into an alpine lake.
The real peril is not snow or sleet! Stories abound of a growling creature known as the Abominable Snowman—who will do anything and everything to protect his home. Do you have what it takes to find out if the legends are true?
We will be sure to share further details as soon as Disney released them about the iconic Matterhorn ride in the Fantasyland portion of Disneyland Park.
