A pleasant ride, but typical for its kind. Its removal was not a great loss.

It was a great ride while it lasted. But unfortunately due to wear on the arms the ride was removed before this season.

Wow. Thats all I can say. The cars actually go over 90º, and it is a really fast, intense feeling. Very out-of-control.

The only thing was that it only ran at full speed for about three rotations.

This is an excellent bobs. It goes so fast that the cars flip 3/4 of the way around. However, they need to run it backwards, and it wouldnt be a bad idea to play music with it either.

Wow! This is by far the greatest himalaya I have ever been on. Located to the right of the main entrance near the front of the park, the Matterhorn is by far the best, fastest, and most intense himalaya I have ever been on. Looking like a standard Flying Bobs himalaya, the Matterhorn has a snowy theme. Attracting teens, Matterhorn generally has a 5-10 minute wait because of its high capacity. Also, some of the wait is caused by the ride taking a long time to load and check the restraints. Sadly, the Matterhorn doesnt have music playing during the ride when Ive been on it slightly lessening the ride experience. As for the ride, this is by far the best himalaya I have been on. This himalaya travels much faster than any other himalaya I have been on, going 16rpm. Even better, because of the Matterhorns intense and wild speed, it swings more wildly than any other himalaya I have been on. You swing out greater than 90 degrees making for one great ride. Sadly, the ride doesnt run backwards because of how rapidly it travels. Also, unfortunately it gives a short ride, but its satisfying. Overall, the greatest himalaya I have ever been on, but too bad its beeing removed because the sweeps cracked. Any himalaya fan would have enjoyed it.

This ride really didnt do much for me. I see that a lot of people enjoy this ride, so maybe I just rode with a poor operator. It was running fast at all, so the cars failed to swing out very much, which spoiled my overall enjoyment of the ride.

I love this ride! Its so sad that so few parks have them anymore. I remember when what is now SFNE used to have one and how fun that was. This one might be a little bit better though. The best part is how short the wait usually is, although the ride itself isnt exactly long. Still awesome though!
