Matterhorn Bobsleds 45th Anniversary Dangle

This commemorative pin celebrates the 45th anniversary of the iconic Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction at the Disneyland Resort. The design features a shield-shaped base depicting the snow-capped mountain peak, a vibrant sun, and the classic attraction logo, accented by a floral motif at the bottom. A distinctive '1959' banner hangs from the main pin via two gold-tone jump rings, creating a classic Dangle style pin. Released in 2004, this pin is part of the Attraction Anniversaries series, which is highly sought after by collectors who focus on park history and ride-specific memorabilia. The Matterhorn Bobsleds, which opened in 1959, holds the distinction of being the first tubular steel roller coaster in the world, marking a revolutionary moment in theme park engineering. Because it is an Open Edition pin, it was widely available at the time of release, though it remains a nostalgic piece for those who collect Disneyland Resort history. The pin's detailed enamel work and historical connection to the park's first 'E-ticket' attraction make it a staple for any serious attraction-themed collection. Its classic aesthetic captures the mid-century modern spirit of the Disneyland Resort during its early years of operation.
