Spotted - New Matterhorn Sleds

Look what I saw yesterday at Disneyland! There was just one on the tract and no riders. I'm not sure about the color, but what color should they be anyway? I do think they look pretty cool.

Good eye! I probably wouldn't have even noticed them. I hope there's still room on the nose for the famous decals...!

Yuck! Those are some ugly bobsleds. I understand the reasoning, but why not go back to the old colorful sleds? The design looks like what you see on Space Mountain, not on the icy slopes of the Matterhorn.

Major; check the first pic, they slapped a small sticker on the front, but looks like it was peeled off from somewhere else!

Matterhorn1959; that's funny, the first thought I had was "shouldn't these be on space mt.?" I have no idea where they got those colors from? (Tomorrowland 2006?) Of course the 1978 versions have some odd colors too?

Also, I could tell by the style that people will either love them or hate them....

I approve of the new ones. They may not look quite as "vintage" as the old carts, but at least there is no more lap-sitting, right? And it looks like they stuck with the old orange-ish color on cart #19 in the bottom picture.

Do they still have the tandem seating idea/ It's been so long since I was there. Tandem seating was so much fun while on a date. You had the girl right in front of you and a great excuse to wrap your arms around her.
