New Matterhorn Bobsleds

Many have bin eagerly waiting the grand re opening of Matterhorn at Disneyland resort in California but,  don't get your hopes to high.  The refurbishment has bin only closed since June 13th so you can't expect much to happen in only a month but it is a big let down.  The major changes in the ride are the new vehicles in witch are the same idea as the old classic bobsleds, they are single rows three riders per vehicle but with real seats.  this solves the problem of guests complaining the attraction is to bumpy and jerky but the down sides are much worse than the upsides.  Disney wanted to keep the history of the attraction by not tampering with the track witch is historic (first steel roller coaster) but it is to mild for thrill junky's witch isn't good for Disney's already pink knuckled appearance.  They also enhanced the Yeti's audio system but that isn't as good as re designing the monsters all together.  The smallest change is they made the exterior of the attraction easier for the climbers to venture up the side of the coaster for guest entertainment.  Overall the re opening of Matterhorn bobsleds re addressed some problems but could have bin much more.
