Won't they still have about the same amount of leg room?

Nope...It's going to be nice to not have to possibly straddle a stranger, :shock: but it's definitely going to be tougher for folks with long legs. Here is a link to an old article, but it shows both the old and new bobsleds.

When have they ever made you do that with a stranger? Or is that only during the summer? They don't even have people to sort you into cars, well before the close.

Oh...looks like just 3 people to a car now instead of the 4 that could straddle in the old ones??

They are doing a amazing job. Can't wait till it re-opens soon.

It was a really long time ago, and yes I believe it was in the summer...but we haven't ridden the Matterhorn in over 5 years though...it's really tough on hubby (though the legroom was always a plus) with all the bumps.

Wait, does this mean that the ride might not break down every half hour? I may miss the old seating system, but I'll give it up for a fully functioning Matterhorn. :D

Is that one of those things that happens during the summer as well?
