New recordings from Wikimedia Commons publish promptly. Earlier recordings are released in a roughly shuffled order, paced to average about thirty minutes of listening per day. A long recording may therefore be followed by one or more quiet days. Each episode credits its reader and links to the original recording, the article as recorded, and the current article.

Matterhorn Bobsleds

The Matterhorn

Matterhorn Bobsleds is an attraction that consists of a pair of intertwined steel roller coasters running through a fabricated mountain. It is located at Disneyland in Anaheim, California and is modeled after the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It is the first known permanently-installed tubular steel track roller coaster, though coasters with tubular steel tracks had toured European fairs as early as 1956. Located on the border between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, it employs forced perspective to seem larger than its actual size.
