November 19, 2007 Update!

Here is a recent update about the new cars! credit goes to screamscape

A reader pointed out a little bit of information to me about the new 3 seat Matterhorn cars in the works. While it is true that the current cars hold 4 adults at once (8 per train), they point out most trains only go out with anywhere form 4 to 6 riders right now because so many people don’t want to sit on someone’s lap. Add in the extra “weight” factor that has become a reason for the nearly year-long rehab coming up at Small World, and often it can be a bit uncomfortable for two “full sized” adults to sit together, so the new trains that will offer six individual seats may actually increase the ride’s true capacity in the end.

The present ones look like WDW's Space Mountian. These new ones look like bobsleds.

I wonder if the ride will be any smoother??? My butt usually hurts after i ride that ride (= but i guess it adds to the fun.

Thanks for your update

I read on the site where they posted it, that yes they will hopefully run alot smother. But I like the bumpy-ness of the ride. Especially on the Tomorrowland side when you go under that bridge

That is a test sled. Don't expect the new sleds on the track for a year or more. They just refurbished some of the current trains.

[GoofyGeggy]

The old ones made me hurt (or perhaps it's just the track...), so I hope these new ones will be splendiferous!

I think that once they do decide to use these sleds, and if it does make the ride smoother, I think there's gonna be lots of complaints about people missing the old sleds. I like the old ones better. It makes it more fun.

Those look a lot more safe! I was always scared I was going fall out of those when I was little ue to the fact I was so small. Thanks for posting
