View Full Version : Matterhorn - personal piece of trivia.

I found out recently that the Matterhorn was opened on the fourteenth of June 1959. This is the very day I was born. This means that I am exactly as old as "the modern tubular steel coaster." And I thought I was really old. It turns out that I can still be regarded as cutting edge technology. Is that Kool with a Kapital K or what?

I wondered what Disney personal trivia you may have to brighten up this Tuesday morning?

Cheers Larry

I was curious, and this is the first link I found on Google (http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/)! Has quite a bit of stuff.

I was there Opening Day. I was six months old. I've been to DL a minimum of once a year ever since then. My only regret is I never asked my parents how they managed to go. But they did

LOVE that site, thank you! I share the same birthday (not year) with the Mouse himself, Elizabeth Perkins, and Owen Wilson. Not too shabby. How fun this is, and Larry, that's so neat for you and the Matterhorn to share that cosmic bond!

Wow, that is a good website. I also found out that on my actual birthday the first mono-rail opened. And there was a really big televised Disney party to celebrate my birth, oh no that was for the Matterhorn and the Monorail, sorry, got that wrong!
