How many Matterhorn rides are there?

2 Different Routes. There are 2 bobsled tracks: 1 on the Fantasyland side of the mountain and the other on the Tomorrowland side.



There is only one official "Matterhorn Bobsleds" attraction, located at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. While the ride features two distinct tracks (the Fantasyland side and the Tomorrowland side) that offer slightly different experiences, they are both housed within the same iconic man-made mountain. The Matterhorn Bobsleds is historic for being the first tubular steel roller coaster in the world, opening in 1959. It is important not to confuse it with other "alpine" or "mountain" themed rides at Disney; for example, "Expedition Everest" is in Disney's Animal Kingdom, and "Big Thunder Mountain" is in several parks worldwide. While there are countless "Matterhorn" themed flat rides (often called "Music Express") at traveling carnivals and smaller amusement parks globally, the bobsled coaster version is an exclusive and singular landmark of the original Disneyland, representing Walt Disney's personal inspiration after a trip to the actual Swiss Alps.
