Disneyland's Matterhorn

Here is my version of Disneyland, back when it was great! In the 1960's-1970's. (Ok, maybe the 80's too!)
Here I have the Matterhorn, except mine is just a bit different.

This one, as you can see, has the Monorail shooting out of the top of the mountain. You also still see the bobsled of the Matterhorn climbing the tracks to the top, and on the left is the famous abominable snowman, with his red glowing eyes, and his deep growl. To the right of the mountain, I've added the classic skyway, which closed in 1994 due to stress fractures in the Matterhorn's skyway tunnel.


Here, you will notice Mickey climbing the mountain to the right of the snowman (He's pretty small, so I took a close up for you)...and to the left of the snowman I've included the 50 ft tall waterfall.

Hey! Here's a fun fact. Did you know that the Matterhorn houses a basketball court???
No, really...it's true. Here's the picture! You'll also see the basketball hoop in the painting (it's super small, where the mountain is opened up).... and you'll the snowman getting ready to shoot a basket.
This court was originally a just warehouse type room used for rest and preparation area for the costumed mountain climbers. The hoop was installed for their entertainment while waiting, if the weather conditions were delaying them.

Disneyland is a true classic and even though we frequent Disneyland often today, this picture (to me) brings back old memories and a time that can never be reproduced.
