Classic Disneyland Roller Coaster Closure End Date Announced

Rides and attractions are continuously added and dropped from the Disneyland refurbishment calendar. This cycle of ride closures and reopenings makes it so that all rides are safe for guests to enjoy. An older attraction at Disneyland Park was recently scheduled to close for refurbishment, and now there is a reopening date for that ride.

Keep reading for information on this attraction and to find out when it will be reopening after its summer refurbishment. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including the changes Disney World has made to early entry for the summer and the one park hopping rule kept in place among several changes to the policy.

Matterhorn Bobsleds Reopening Soon After Refurbishment

Sign for Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland

We previously reported that the Matterhorn Bobsleds would be closing for refurbishment on July 20, with July 19 being the last day to ride the coaster before it closes. At the time, there was no reopening date released to the public. That has since changed, and we now have a day to expect the Matterhorn Bobsleds to be open again.

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.

Matterhorn

There are several other rides down for refurbishment at Disneyland. Pirates of the Caribbean closed on May 4 for some technical upgrades, and it still does not have an official reopening date on the Disneyland website.

Also at Disneyland Park, both the King Arthur Carrousel and the Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition will be closed beginning July 6. The Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition does not yet have a reopening date, but the King Arthur Carrousel looks to be reopening on July 17 based on the official Disneyland calendar.

At Disney California Adventure, the Silly Symphony Swings and Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind are both closed, with no official reopening date revealed quite yet.
