The Matterhorn at Disneyland

The Matterhorn at Disneyland that’s modelled and named after a mountain in the Alps on the border with Switzerland and Italy is the first tubular steel continuous track roller coaster. That’s not it though. Inside the very top there is a small attic-like structure used as a staging and break area for climbers: a basketball hoop, complete with backboard and net, which has been attached to a flight of wooden stairs. Climbers and Cast Members used the basketball court and staging area to prepare for scheduled climbs or to pass time when there was bad weather.
