I had a chance to take part in a preview of this at Destination D: WDW 40th in May. I didn’t win, but getting up on stage and answering a few questions got me ready for this. I’m studying every aspect of Disney, as there are a few things that are my weakness and I’m freshening up on other aspects. But I will be ready!! May the best Disney Trivia “Geek” win!! 🙂
I do not recall any bobsleds in “Third Man on the Mountain,” which doesn’t even reference the Matterhorn by name.
I wish I could go to see this. Oh please post video of some of the rounds for those of us unable to attend. I know it is going to be so much fun. Best of luck to all who enter! I’m rooting for ya. =)
How fun this would be to be a part of!
Andrew from GA, Third Man on the Mountain called the mountain the Citadel in the film. The film crew actually filmed on the real life Matterhorn in Switzerland (I think it was Switzerland!). Walt like it so much that he sent a postcard of the Matterhorn to his Imagineers with his handwritten “Build This” scrawled on it. That’s the history behind why there is a Matterhorn at Disneyland today.
