There’s a new series of banners on the tram route at Disneyland Resort, each one naming a different attraction, park, or movie and the year it debuted. Unfortunately, someone on the design team didn’t double-check their work and the banner for Matterhorn Bobsleds has the wrong year.
The blue and silver banners hang from lampposts for tram riders and walkers to see. They state the media name in a circle at the center and the year in a Cast Member nametag shape at the bottom. For example, above is a banner for the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, which opened in 1967 at Disneyland.
The Matterhorn Bobsleds banner says “1955” at the bottom.
1995 is the opening year of Disneyland, but Matterhorn Bobsleds wasn’t conceived until the next year and didn’t actually open until 1959. It was the park’s first roller-coaster and led to a tradition of mountain coasters across Disney Parks, including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, and Space Mountain.
Hopefully, Disney replaces the incorrect banner soon. It’s not the only time they’ve slipped up in regard to years recently: Disney Parks Blog got Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort’s upcoming anniversary wrong last month.
