Is Matterhorn part of Tomorrowland?

June 14, 1959: The Matterhorn Bobsleds open as the first tubular steel roller coaster in the world. It opens alongside the Disneyland Monorail and Submarine Voyage as part of an expansion to Tomorrowland.



No, the Matterhorn Bobsleds is not part of Tomorrowland; it is officially located within Fantasyland at Disneyland Park in California. Although the mountain sits right on the border between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, its entrance and whimsical Alpine theme are designated as part of the Fantasyland story. Historically, the Matterhorn has a unique place in Disney lore because it was the first tubular steel roller coaster in the world, opening in 1959. For many years, there was a common misconception about its location because the "Skyway" buckets used to pass right through the mountain on their way to Tomorrowland, and the Monorail track skirts past it as well. However, if you look at any official 2026 Disneyland map, the iconic peak is clearly shaded as part of Fantasyland. The ride's 2015 and 2022 updates further cemented its thematic identity with the addition of the "Abominable Snowman" (Harold), which aligns more with the folklore and fantasy elements of the park rather than the futuristic or space themes found in neighboring Tomorrowland.
