A side effect of rebuilding the Matterhorn- you get to fix the bits of the Skyway that went through it.

Looking at it from the historical aspect: no. It's the first tubular steel roller coaster... ever. The granddaddy of every steel coaster in existence. Every coaster today owes it to that ride. And seeing that original track go away, while probably better as a ride, would see the loss of something greater than just a ride. I understand the sentiment, but being a coaster history nerd I really want it to stay.

Replace it with superstar limo (but this time it's a coaster)

Haunted Mansion? Dude, I’m with you, it is my favorite ride in any park… I think I would want them to completely tent it and rebuild the heck out of… only thing that could not change is the mansion itself, upon further thought… most of the ride is in the outer warehouse, so they could do a tear down/rebuild.

i was under the impression it couldnt be replaced (to the same size/specs) due to modern building codes. and i mean, it's still really popular...

Current CEO isn't the problem. The Board of Directors is. You need to clean Disney out of all the Iger people before you can successfully recentre the company and focus it again on creativity instead of being a tool for the political games and aspirations of a former CEO.

You're kind of missing a key point. Some rides do need to be retired eventually. Wear and Tear takes its toll over time. Some lower stress systems can be easily maintained and kept updated and operational for the foreseeable future. The Haunted Mansions for example. But some stuff does face decision points. And I know somebody deeply loves every single ride. But eventually they face the choice of major overhaul vs retheme vs tear down and build something new. And a lot of the oldest classic rides were not built originally with repair and renovation baked in. How much gnashing of teeth would you hear among Disneyland fans if they announced tomorrow that they were closing Autopia to build a West Coast Tron Lightcycle?

This is japan disney i think you should worry about the refurbishment

The CEO and the boards both need to go. the Matterhorn cars compared to the old ones are horrible same with space mountain. You have to have a mountain of money just to go then you have to buy genie Plus if you want really ride anything the pixie dust is almost gone I know I won't go back with my family

You all do know Disney doesn’t own any Disney parks outside of the United States. they license the rights to the Disney name and let the other companies do what they in the parks

Sounded like yesteryear

I’m sure that Disney maintains the Matterhorn and monitors its structure. Any damage from the earthquake, if there was, has already been repaired.

What's special about it though? I mean I get it, the now residents of Anaheim may have different rules, but it's really no different than a roller coaster at Knotts, Six Flags, or any other amusement park in the area is it? That said, if they don't replace the Matterhorn I'd be fine with it, nostalgia can be a horribly convenient excuse to keep things around.

Actually, it's building codes that have changed, not zoning laws.

@@Mike__B city of anaheim has a very tumultuous relationship with disney. city and its residents fight the beast any chance they get. As for nostalgia i mean…. Its a more than iconic ride not just for the actual experience but for what the mountain itself brings to the sightlines of the park. its gorgeous and unique in a way that modern disney does not replicate. i feel the only person that can hold this type of opinion is someone who doesnt frequent disneyland lol

@@Mike__B What makes it more complicated is the coaster within the enclosed structure. It's not impossible. Just would require a lot of permitting and inspections and regulations etc. They might be able to slap down the proven designs from Expedition Everest and get relatively easy approval from local governments, or they may need to reinvent the wheel for them. But California remains a nightmare to build anything new.

@@24kgoldplatedvermeil Yeah I don't "frequent" the park because I'm not a local nor do I have an annual pass that allows me the freedom to observing the sight lines as part of my visit. I care about the experience, and as it stands the experience of the Matterhorn is just not good. It's painful, it's bump, it absolutely feels like a 60+ year old roller coaster that is badly in need of refurbishment/replacement. Now I really don't care what happens to it as long as something does happen to it. Gut the interior and redo all the track for all I care to make a smoother ride. Turn it into a big dark ride type experience similar to the dome at Epcot. Or level the whole thing and call it part of the Tomorrowland expansion since it really doesn't fit in any land. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you can't view Disneyland from an architecture's view point. I'm just not sure that's really big on most visitor's minds while in the park.

I'm pretty sure the Matterhorn is at least recognized as an ACE historic landmark since it's the first coaster to use a tubular steel track.

Disney has not forgotten about the Peoplemover. It's too expensive and would take too long to rebuild it.

someone always has to go there and do it

Oooooo… wicked burn

@@nimblehealer199 actually they had a structural engineer come in and check out the track and the land for options and told him only things that will be staying are Monorail, Train Station, and Spacemountain. He told them the tracks are unrepairable and to bulldoze the entire land and rebuild what they want to keep. So they had thought of bringing them back and may be planning to relocate them if they were told the existing track wasn't worth keeping. The old Inoventions show building has the same footprint of Spacemountain so they could easily remove the track and rebuild it there with a upgraded show building after they figure out how to deal with the subs show building since it's over built like a bomb shelter so removal won't be a easy task.

Removal b e t t e r n o t t o u c h Peoplemover…

Yesssssss! The ride really wouldn’t change much, although with AntMan being under the Disney umbrella, it would likely get a strange narrative twist when we enter Quantum Foam… but yes… they have do the miniaturized riders effect with some sort of updated movement to make the mini-riders more realistic. For the giant eye, the could use an extreme closeup of a real eye on something like an 8K screen… the possibilities boggle

You mean Adventures Through Inner Space? I'd love to see what they could do with it now. The problem is twofold: I could see it being an IP and a thrill ride now. I don't think Modern Disney would make it an omnimover attraction.

I can still see the giant eyeball with lashes flapping in the microscope eyepiece. So cool. Damn kids ruined everything. The Antman thing is a great idea!

tRUE LORD

Especially since piracy historically was very diverse! It wasn't all Jack Sparrow and I'd love to see that explored.

I like that idea too!

Was test track ever that fun like the inside portions are cool cause it’s like all neon and stuff but the outside is literally just like going on the freeway

@@sideeswipe I felt like the old version had better theming. I'd be down for a complete makeover at this point.

That is because all Splash Mountains are being rethemed to Princess and the Frog since Splash Mountains is based off the old Song of The South film that Disney been trying to get people to forget was ever made once the politically correct protesters got involved.

I went to MK recently, like in April, and everything on splash mountain was working as normal (except one vulture at the top of the hill)

Lemme guess, rabbit on a stick?

AND THE COSTUMES SUCK! I hated the zip front shirt and those awful pants. And we don’t even get a cool hat like Mission Space. :(

That space along with the Fantasyland Theater is already going to be getting used for a new attraction and sit-down restaurant with Matterhorn being 100% Fantasyland when they build New Tomorrowland.

But the old boat dock is where I eat my turkey leg in private darkness. LOL!

There is nothing like going into the main lobby of the hotel, watching the pre show in the library, walking threw the boiler room, and listening to the great ride audio while riding it in any park.

i totally agree. paris and florida need to keep their tower’s for as long as possible

RIP DCA tower.

Disney parks and resorts may have taken a hit but their other sources of income i.e. streaming services gained more than the losses and most parks and resorts weren't closed for that entire year, they had parks opening back up with safety protocols in place within a year, shops outside the parks open, and online shopping with store pick-ups.

Autotopia and Subs already share the same footprint in Tomorrowland and part of their footprint along with Matterhorn will be absorbed into Fantasyland, the part of the land in the footprint along with the Fantasyland Theater will become a new attraction and a sit-down restaurant so Matterhorn will remain in place but there are things that can be done to bring new life into matterhorn while making it remain the same like removing each section of track and replacing it with a new section and changing the wheels on the bobsleds to give a smoother ride since the mountain will remain intact in the same place which means the city wouldn't have any reason to stop them from doing the work and if they do it at the same time they are building New Tomorrowland they will already have the cranes on-site to move the track pieces in to the openings without any chance for guests to get hurt in the area since they can muscle prices through the Fantasyland side of the mountain. Then just throw a fresh coat of paint and the ride can be open again with decades of life in it still since it will fall under repairs so would still abide by the building and safety codes that were in place when it was originally build because no changes that alter the ride were done just parts for maintenance.

Think they are just waiting on the city to make a decision on the Disneyland Forward project since they already said Tomorrowland is their next big project and if they don't get the green light on the expansion then we could seen some of those attractions moving into New Tomorrowland, Tomorrowland is already going to be shrinking to give Fantasyland more space while Matterhorn gets absorbed into Fantasyland all while guests aren't supposed to notice the land shrinking since it will be taken from the wasted space Autotopia and Subs currently use which is the majority of the land already. Monorail, Spacemountain and Disneyland Railroad Station are the only things remaining in New Tomorrowland so that opens a lot of space to build new attractions in the remodeling of the land. The current layout getting to and from the Railroad and Monorail needed to be redone anyway so merging the entrance path to both in a wider pathway could allow both to remain open during construction of new Tomorrowland since you could start with the ramp from Monorail going straight to the Train Station then have guests take the Monorail into the park, board the train to go to other parts of the park then take the train back to Tomorrowland to board the Monorail to leave as a alternate to the front gates. With new ToonTown opening next year which is more of a face lift than a remodeling which they could probably have done this year but want to wait till Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is ready before presenting.

This is a good idea. It would be a waste if Disney didn't do this

["Maybe retheme the Mansion in Anaheim to the Muppets . . . "] WHAT? NOOO!

I think a temporary or seasonal Muppet theming would be awesome for the Haunted Mansion, but I would be very sad to never have classic Haunted Mansion.

@@taddy_mason4197 I don't think you got the joke.

@@silentpaw probably not haha

Lol a few more like every ride in every park could be brand new every year and still have money leftover.

Matterhorn needs work to get it to where everyone can ride it without being in pain. It's one of those fixes that can be a simple as changing the wheels on the bobsleds to ones that work better to smooth out the ride for riders.

Magic candle company and hatbox ghost!

@@mcwjes brilliant

Sounds like it stopped to load or unload a handicapped rider. All omnimover rides where they need more time than moving walkway they stop the ride to assist a handicapped rider, some rides like Haunted Mansion will load them as a group to have to stop the ride less often during a rotation of ride vehicles.
