Lol just got back from the park. Damn iPhones and how they don't let you add photos as attachments!
His picture is better than mine anyway.

That cushion doesn't look soft.

I rode on the bumpier TL side and the cushion really helped! Granted I was sitting in the very front of the bobsled but I would say the cushions made the ride at least 75% more comfortable.
On another note today was an absolutely ideal day to be at the park. Was not crowded at all. Perfect sunny 75 degrees. Are Wednesday's always like this or is it because spring break is next week? I can't remember the last time the park felt this empty. For example Splash Mountain standby was only 15 minutes at 12 noon. Tower of Terror standby said 13 minutes (really took about 20 minutes) at 2:30 pm. Aside from the rides the walkways did not feel crowded at all.
Oh yea ...As much as I wanted to experience The new Luigi attraction I just couldn't get myself to wait in line for it for 40 minutes. I have to admit, it did look a little boring. Just seemed like a lot folks riding are not really engaged at all. Those cars are definitely nice eye candy though

40 minutes for a baby car ride when you can just walk on almost everything else? You chose wisely.

It looks like the same type of material they use around lap bars and the front of the seats on Splash so you don't slam your head into the front of the log.

Exactly.
What they need to do next is add padding to the sides. That way I won't walk off the ride with bruised knees and thighs anymore.

And they need to bring the glowing eyes, ice crystals and old Yetis back! I know, it's never happening and most people prefer the new version. I don't hate it, but it was fine the way it was!

Why stop there? Might as well just hollow out the inside of the mountain, reinstall the Skyway, remove the snowman, and go back to single bobsleds. Damn progress keeps messing up everything.

The new Matterhorn editions don't bother me like the placement of Disney characters in small world does.

It's not really progress, just weird creative changes.

Can you name a recent creative change at Disneyland that you approve? Let's say in the last 5 years.

Does that really count? We all knew that was temporary.

The cushion looks like a broom pan, but hey I'll take anything I can get to ensure I am able to still walk after getting off the Matterhorn! I love all the changes from the last refurb -- it's especially awesome and scary at night. They did a great job with the audio, you really feel like the Yeti is right behind you throughout the ride.
