The 1950's was a really bad time for Cedar Point. After all, it almost closed. After formulating a plan to become the "Disneyland of the Midwest", Cedar Point would add rides that would make the park popular. In 1963 Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad took guest on a journey back to the days of the Wild West. Blue Streak became the first major ride built in decades when it opened in 1964. In 1965 Space Spiral opened as the first ride in the world to go over 300 feet. Pirate Ride sent riders back to the days when Pirates ram-sacked the high seas. Frontiertown opened in 1967. Frontiertown was expanded in 1969 to include Cedar Creek Mine Ride. In 1970 Cedar Point Celebrated its 100th anniversary with the Million Dollar Midway and some other additions to bring the lines down. Frontier Trail opened in 1971. With all these new additions, 1972 would bring many more.

For the 1972 season Cedar Point added more rides. The 145 foot tall Giant Wheel opened on the Frontier Trail. On the Beach Midway Cedar Point added a new roller coaster called Jumbo Jet. Jumbo Jet was a very unique roller coaster because it featured a spiral lift. Jumbo Jet was plagued with mechanical problems and was removed from Cedar Point in 1978. Located right next door to Jumbo Jet was Matterhorn.

When Matterhorn opened in 1972 it was next to Jumbo Jet Near Space Spiral. It remained in this location until 1984.

In 1985 Cedar Point opened Avalanche Run. To make room for Avalanche Run, Matterhorn would be moved.  Tiki Twirl was retired and Matterhorn would be relocated to Tiki Twirl's location. 

The former location of Matterhorn today is the approximate location of GateKeeper's entrance plaza.

Ride Experience

Picture
Matterhorn has 20 bobselds. Each car holds 2 people with one seatbelt. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

Matterhorn starts by spinning around in a circle. As the ride gets faster it starts to turn sideways. Riders are held into place using centrifugal force.

Matterhorn has a great soundtrack. It has a mix of pop and rock songs that are sure to make your ride experience better!

​Matterhorn spins its riders up and down the mountain for 1 minuite and 35 seconds. As the ride slows down the cars go back to being level with the platform.

Matterhorn adds to Cedar Point's Collection of Rides.

Matterhorn was added at a time when Cedar Point was much smaller then it is today. Lines were much longer because the  park had less rides. 

​Matterhorn really helped eat up riders giving the park a higher hourly capacity then it had without the ride.

After 48 years of operation, Matterhorn is still a popular ride at Cedar Point.
