Being old, I remember riding the skyride through the Matterhorn. I loved doing that. You could see all the trains racing around the tracks inside. I was bummed when they took out the skyride and closed the mountain on both sides. But it sill is a vivid memory.
Always a master of really brining the designer details. Love the 'insider-esque' dives! Favorite part ... "Walt, what are you looking at?" Walt: "My Mountain."
This is EXACTLY the content I'm here for. I love the design aspect of Disneyland (and everything, for that matter).You break it down so well and use great storytelling to give us the history as well. Keep it coming, Brickey. These viewers (my husband and i) love it!
This episode is BALLER! Seriously. Your passion, eye, Design, and history inspire me to new depths. Would love to see more content like this! YES. Monorail! I'll show up for sure.
Loved this!!! One of my earliest childhood memories is of the Matterhorn. First trip to Disneyland was when I was 4 yo. I remember standing on the seat of our family car, ( No seatbelt) Driving on the free way, looking out the window and seeing the Matterhorn for the first time and was so excited because that is when my parents said, "We are going to Disneyland". I could feel the magic from that very moment. I will never forget it.
Love your videos- Thank you! You always skillfully give insight into how Walt ( a genius!) and the imagineers created the magic - but you do it by adding to the magic- not exposing it in a way that ruins the effect/ fun for us ❣️

Hey Brickey!
YESSSSSS! I've been waiting for this one Brickey!!! The Mattahorn is my favorite attraction at Disneyland not because of it's thrills though it is an amazing experience and Harold 2.0 the best animatronic jump scare lol. It's my favorite because it's history and being a landmark. Shout out to the Imagineering team on this beauty and paving the way for steel coasters across the world! As they say in Disney " It all started with a mouse!" Well in the world of steel coaster thrills " It all started with a Disney Mountain!" Thanks as always Brickey for shedding light on something most people would have never known to be of such importance to Disney Parks History!
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this video. The Matterhorn opened on my dads birthday in 1959. I rode it with my dad about three weeks after it opened so it has a very special place in my heart. Somewhere in this universe there is a picture of my dad and me sitting on holiday hill. (No, we didn’t know that was a pot plant). Can you imagine riding a hallow Matterhorn? Well, I did. It is, and has always been, my favorite ride. I’ve been on it at least once a year since it’s opening. (You do the math). Even knee surgery couldn’t keep me off. Thank you for making this video. I have to admit, I shed a few tears while watching it.
Brickey!.. Quality time and research!… Fascinating history and many intriguing and fun trivia tidbits and engineering details. For me, Walt Disney and Miichaelangelo are two of a kind!…
Appreciate the dedication to the work and how you craft it! Wonderfully cut and love all the different vantage points of the Matterhorn while you talk to us… excellent job. As a kid in the 70s my parents had a friend in Texas who’s dad had something to do with designing the air brakes on the ride…
Thank you Brickey for making this video. My grandfather was involved in building the Matterhorn and now that he has passed I have something that will always remind me of him in my favorite place to be.
One of my fav quotes is quite fitting for this video; “Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible” - Donald A. Norman
Loved this episode! The fact that I got to spend 2 - 3 weeks repelling down the Matterhorn every night designing an illusion for a special event made me love it so much more. Having lunch up there just savoring the experience was a dream come true. Thank you for so much history on this remarkable installation!
Love this Disney design vlog! As a fellow creative part of my love for Disney is it’s creative problem-solving to tell a story and make it blend flawlessly into the park. Thank you for making this. I’ll be back for more!
❤️ this and you my friend!!! Love your love and history for Disneyland And Walt. Now I wanna rope drop Matterhorn and take in that beautiful masterpiece. Thanks again my friend, keep up the amazing content.
Awesome video! Your attention to detail is unmatched! The editing and narration is outstanding! I really enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to the monorail video!
You are awesome Brickey. This was a great experience to learn more about my favorite ride at Disneyland. Thank you very much and I will always watch your videos because you are very inciteful
Your videos are really well done. Most history videos are like facts read off of a wiki page and they're pretty common. But really like your storytelling, how you connect the present to the past, how it came to be and why it's still relevant or impactful today. Like the other mountains being set lower or all the little stories and decisions that led to the building of Matterhorn. Thank you for making these history videos because they are excellent.
I absolutely love your content and the way you present it to us. I often put Disney Vlogs on while doing other things - but yours always grab my attention enough that I just sit and watch (and I”m Autistic/ADHD so that isn’t easy) . More of this! More of the documentary style! More Brickey!
Fun video, I wonder what 13yr old Brickey would think if he knew he’d be making educational videos as an adult ? If you didn’t tell him they were in So Cal lol. It was great seeing the framework of the mountain. You can see the structural load bearing beams and the smaller beams to hold the facade. Seeing the wheel mechanics up close was great too. It really gives an appreciation for all they had to do to make the Matterhorn. Can’t wait to see what you work on next. I also like how your filming style is evolving, getting a few shots from farther away. Keep up the great work !
This was fantastic! Love that this is not the typical content. Enjoy the details, the history and the way you lay it all out. Thank you for all you put into these videos! Definitely do more!!!!
100% here for the niche deep dives!!! as a disney fanatic, i love this kind of content to keep me learning more about disneyland and thinking about design/new concepts. awesome video Brickey!
I remember when I was a little kid my sister and I would look for the top of Matterhorn Mountain over on the 57 freeway on our way from Arizona. When we saw the mountain, we knew that we were almost to Disneyland.
Great Vlog, def make more. Like many folks here we already know a lot about the parks, etc. but I learned some NEW info here (why the other “mountains” are lower). Lots of fun!
Let’s be honest, the matterhorn is not long for this world! I think they need to rebuild it. Of course expand the footprint and make an even bigger mountain. This is what Disney MUST do. They could NEVER NEVER NEVER get rid of the matterhorn it’s 100% iconic to the Disneyland park!
Love this kind of content, especially your take, which is a perfect blend of Disney Fan, Behind The Scenes, Insider Info, Historian, and Designer. Just like the Galaxy’s Edge Bldg, Keyholes, DCA Expansions, keep ‘em all coming! Thanks as always …
Great Vlog . Do them and I will watch them . Love the creative side of old Disneyland when they where writing the books on theme park construction and design
I wish the Matterhorn had more of those artificial pine trees going up the mountain to give it more sense of forced perspective and life. Just like on the model in the picture with Walt. Your videos are always on another level Mr Brickey. I will show up to watch them. ✌️
Boy these clearances on the matterhorn are small!! It literally looks like people are gonna whack their heads on the mountain! The tight spaces also increase the thrill level on a pretty slow roller coaster.
Commenting for support of more amazing videos like this! You are the only Disney UA-camr that I have followed consistently. Found you (and others) in 2020, and have watched you religiously since.
Thank you sir! Love these extremely informative videos. I have always been a sucker for behind the scenes on how thing are built or functional. I also love the freedom the use of the remote mic gives you in your creativity. Keep up the excellent work, these videos rock!
Great video Brickey! Just when you think you know all there is to know about an iconic ride, boom, you tell me something new I didn’t know! Keep doing what you do!
Love these videos buddy! Please keep doing them and I will definitely watch every one you put out! Appreciate your love for these parks and the skill you put into creating this content! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for making this and sharing all the details behind the history of the Matterhorn Bobsleds 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’ve been going to Disneyland since I was a toddler (first visit was in 1969) and I’m a huge Disneyland nerd 🤓
I’ve always appreciated the smaller details that make DLand the Happiest Place on Earth. My father worked there briefly when I was in high school and shared some insights with us - best job EVER!
Being old, I remember riding the skyride through the Matterhorn. I loved doing that. You could see all the trains racing around the tracks inside. I was bummed when they took out the skyride and closed the mountain on both sides. But it sill is a vivid memory.
Yes I remember when it was hallow inside. I think there was a basketball court in there at one point.
This video will make you love the Matterhorn even more. Thank you, Brickey!

This is definitely the Contant I’m here for. Not popcorn buckets 😂😂😂
1000% agreed!!
Me too 👏🙌
-10 pts for spelling.
That fun fact of Harold growing weed 🌿no Holiday Hill before Walt built him the Matterhorn to hang out in totally blew my mind 🤯
It was probably for the rope in Fowlers Harbor
Cool show. Fun back story. I’d like to see what you could do with Knott’s berry farm 🎭🤠👍
Hi hundred percent want to see a video about the history of the monorail! I always enjoy going on the monorail in Seattle
This episode is BALLER! Seriously. Your passion, eye, Design, and history inspire me to new depths. Would love to see more content like this! YES. Monorail! I'll show up for sure.
What a great deep dive into a great DL exclusive OG. 🙌 up for The Matterhorn and this video!
I loved this vlog so much! I enjoy hearing your design perspective inside the parks! Please do a monorail one! I would love to watch that one!😊👍🏻👍🏻

Boy these clearances on the matterhorn are small!! It literally looks like people are gonna whack their heads on the mountain! The tight spaces also increase the thrill level on a pretty slow roller coaster.
Thanks for the history. Love it!
I want that Matterhorn postcard that says "Build This!" Where is it? Oh, and a churro, please!
I remember when it opened there was a water splashdown on only one side, a few years later there was one on each side.
This is Disney Adulting... the bearable and useful iteration of Disney Adults. Great video, thank you good sir.
Monorail History would be a welcome video
Keep these videos coming! I’m way more interested in the history of everything and it never gets old, even if I’ve heard it before!
