Left side!!!

It is the more "wild" side with sharper drops/turns etc..
while the right always seemed more tame.

On the rare occasion that the right side is open, I like to ride it, for a change; but I must admit that the left, or "dolly's drop" side is better.

I like the left side because it seems more thrilling and smoother than the right.

Anyone else remember when the left and right sides had little signs that said "faster" and "slower" (or something like that)?

Generally I like the left side better, but you get a little more atmosophere on the right (instead of the putt-putting of Autopia cars, you get Teacup music and Caterpillar ride vehicles). I do my best to ride both sides on each trip, of course!

when i said right i meant wth my back to the mountain not from the queue, so in that case i like the left beteer.

do you think if they had the left open more, we would like the right better?

I'd actually never noticed one side being open more than the other, so that doesn't affect my decision.

I'd always assumed Right=Fantasyland side, Left=Tomorrowland side. Should I be standing at the back of the mountain when decide which is right and which is left? What does everyone else assume?

R=Fantasy L=Tomorrow yup, I agree.

Left side more thrilling, Right side more visual. Both sides fun!

I'm actually not a big fan of the Matterhorn, but on the rare occasion I actually do go on it, I usually prefer the left side. But I've never really noticed that much of a difference.

The Left side is much better! While the Right is longer (only by a couple of seconds), the Left is faster and has more dips, plus you see the Snow Monster more! I am a personal fan of the Left side! :D

Left side except at night, then right if it's open because you get such an awesome view from the park...and it's the ony place you get a view like that now that the skyway is closed.

I like the left (tommorowland) side better, if only for the dip by the Submarine Lagoon. I rarely ever ride the Fantasyland side!

It's not supposed to be smooth. It's a bobsled ride.

I agree that the tomorrowland side seems to go faster, but on the Fantasyland side its a lot bumpier and I think you see the Yeti more times. Plus...if the parade is going on, you have a one-of-a-kind view :p

I usually like the tomorrowland side more, but the last time I went on it (about 2 years ago) something was wrong and we went really really slow through the whole ride. We it is properly working, I pick the left.

While I enjoy the speed and thrill of the left side, I think the right side will always be my favorite. The ride is smooth, the views are better and you actually do pick up quite a bit a speed just before the second encounter with the Abominable Snowman. The right side also seems to have a shorter line most of the time making it an obvious choice. Let's hear it for the underdog!

I like the left, or Tomorrowland side better. That's the side with "Dolly's Dip".

Left (tomorrowland) side is better, with Dolly's Drop n all. The track for the right side is supposedly a tad longer, but its not as exciting for sure. Though it would be cool if the TOP of the matterhorn was still open to a view (like right after the lift), like how it was when it first opened. I've seen pictures, but being born in 1977 never got to see it in person!

It was a great view of main street... I guess now a great view of the big shiny hubcab!:D

I wish they could get rid of the track being so darn see-able! It's not a big deal on either SM or BTM... but it is on Matterhorn. They made birds sing, they should be able to take out those freaking TIRES on the track....


oh yeah, left side.

Whenever I see them, I think of the PeopleMover. :D

And Left Side For Me Too. :)
