Thanks for posting this, it brought back some great memories.
I could see the Matterhorn from my back yard as a kid.
My Dad worked for Hughes Aircraft as a QC Inspector during the 60's and they would rent out the entire park for employees once a year. After having gone using the A,B,C,D,E system, it was a treat as a kid to be able to ride any ride as often as we wanted.
Thanks for the thread, it made my morning.
Cheers,
