The Matterhorn was a Mack ride found in many amusement parks, theme parks and fairs throughout the world in the 70's and 80's.     The ride style was popular with families and offered an exciting yet tame ride which featured high speeds over hills and valleys.

	As one of the park's original flat rides, it appears the Matterhorn was something of an afterthought, not being included on the 1974 park map even though it was pictured in the park's original souvenir book. The ride was under construction in the last weeks before the park opened and was operational with the park on July 1, 1974 at its original location next to the Super RoundUp. The Matterhorn was relocated for the 1975 season as part of the Fun Fair expansion of the park and was  assembled on the current site of the Skeeball Barn (Studio 28 Arcade). The ride was moved again in 1978 to its third and final location when the Wild Rider (Troika) was removed at the end of its lease in the autumn of 1977.
	The ride's original modern looking cars were replaced with sleigh style cars for the 1982 season and included automatic locking lap bars.    At the end of the 1986 season, the Matterhorn was removed to make way for construction of the Splashwater Falls ride for 1987.   The Matterhorn was moved to Six Flags Atlantis waterpark, and opened there along with several other flats including a Buccaneer ride in effort to round out their entertainment offerings.   Six Flags sold off Atlantis in 1989, and the new owners ended up closing the park after being severely damaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
