There is a break room the size of a basketball court located in the top.
Matterhorn is 147 feet tall, exactly 1/100th size replica of the real mountain in Switzerland.
The attraction is based on the Disney film Third Man on the Mountain.
The Matterhorn is made of wood and steel with a plaster coating over a layer of metal mesh.
In 1978 an Adominable Snowman, ice caverns and glowing ice crystals were added.
The Matterhorn cost $1.5 million ( in 2003 dollars it would cost over $9.1 million) to build.
When you start up the computers for the Matterhorn the screen displays a messages which says, "Harold isn't going to like this."
