Even though Disneyland was never consistent stating which land the Matterhorn is in, I always felt it was a Fantasyland ride and fit more into the Europe theme than the land of Tomorrow theme. Great shot of the front entrance showing the Swiss Chalet building and the city shields. The best part of the shot is the flag on top of the Chalet with the Matterhorn shield as seen on the Matterhorn sleds.
I agree - it fits better as a "Fantasyland" attraction....
ReplyDeleteLook at the shots of Pinocchio's village in Storybook Land. The Matterhorn towers over the model alps behind that village in almost perfect perspective.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the view of the Matterhorn behind the (now) Peter Pan and Mr. Toad attractions shows much the same perspective.
I think the Matterhorn was designed precisely to fit into the backdrop of the "Grimm's Fairy Tales" fantasyland. What else makes sense?
