The Matterhorn Bobsleds are scheduled to reopen on July 24, giving this refurbishment a very quick turnaround. Due to the fast nature of this refurbishment, it is likely that general, non-extensive touch ups to ensure that the roller coaster is in good working condition for guests.
This newest closure for refurbishment seems to follow a pattern that Disneyland has set for the Matterhorn. The ride has closed once a year since 2022 for varying lengths of time. Seeing as the Matterhorn opened in 1959 and has continued to run since, it makes sense that the older roller coaster might need more downtime to keep it running smoothly after so long in operation.
