I guess you can't blame photographers for wanting a picture of the Matterhorn. Where else are you going to see a thing like that? I mean besides Switzerland? And this one has a ride in and around it too, unlike that boring real mountain.
It also has a basketball half court, a jacuzzi, a dirigible hangar, a sno-cone machine, a small theater that only shows movies about mountain climbing, a beauty salon, and a missile silo.
Major-
ReplyDeleteIn addition to all the "features" you pointed out, you failed to mention the doughnut maker and the chocolate enrober. After all, Hans and Franz (uh... make that Hans and Otto) have developed quite the sweet tooth scaling "Mt. Cervino" time and time again.
Thanks, Major.
Where's the LIKE button!?! You would never have to leave the mountain if is has a restroom, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Matterhorn: It's the Horn that Matters
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the tanning salon.
ReplyDeleteI heard that the mountain climber union (on behalf of hans and franz) is demanding they put in a Subway. They have one just about everywhere else. Eat Fresh.
ReplyDeleteSure, Hans and Franz (who is this Otto you speak of??) got all the glory with their exploits, but who was dutifully scaring the guests with a hearty growl for every bobsled?
ReplyDeleteHarold the Abominable Snowman.

The Swiss Mountain, aka "Mt. Nostril".
ReplyDeleteSimply everything you need in a mountain, and so much more.

I can see where the other features might fit in, but a basketball court? Inside the mountain? Come on. Who's going to believe that?
ReplyDeleteSeveral photos of said basketball court.

The sandwich of the day at the Matterhorn Subway is the Sweet Onion Chicken Schnitzengruben.
ReplyDeleteIt the favorite of Lili Von Shtupp.
Nanook, in truth there were too many amenities to list here. I't's a pretty sweet setup!
ReplyDeleteNancy, it has a "mountain fresh" bathroom.
Melissa, you and Chiana (remember Chiana?) think alike!
Matterhorn1959, don't they get tan enough in the high altitude sun? On the other hand, they do like a "San Tropez" tan, if you know what I mean.
Alonzo, a Subway? I think that the boys can do better. Though I admit I do go to Subway every once in a while.
Bill in Denver, Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon might have taken up mountain climbing, you never know.
Tom, don't forget, it's only a half court!
Alonzo, fifteen is my limit on schnitzengruben.
Legend has it that deep inside the Matterhorn is also where one may find the secret lair of the handsome but evil Count von Disneystein.
ReplyDeleteThe sno-cones are free too...but sadly, only for cast members.
ReplyDelete$9.75 each for guests.
