Currently under renovation until June 2012
Located on the edge of Fantasyland and Tomorrowland
Opened in 1959

The mountain is modeled after the Matterhorn mountain
which is located in the Swiss Alps.
This is the first tubular steel continuous track roller coaster!
Pretty interesting huh?
If you look closely,
you can see Mickey or Goofy climbing up the mountain
The attraction isn't nearly as tall as it seems..
The Imagineers made the trees at higher altitudes smaller..
Since the attraction sits on the border of Tomorrowland and Fantasyland,
one track runs on the Tomorrowland side
and the other on the Fantasyland side
totaling in two separate tracks
There used to be a basketball court inside the base of the mountain
It served as a cast member break room
and a court for the climbers to play on between climbing sessions
Prior to the 50th anniversary,
which is located in the Swiss Alps.

it was relocated during the instillation of the Tinkerbell Flight equipment
in preparation for her flight for the firework show
