On Monday, Jan. 9, the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland park will close so we can ready the iconic mountain for a new fleet of bobsleds. Featuring a new, sleek design, the vehicles will have three seats in each bobsled with two bobsleds linked together for a total of six guests.
So get your last-minute bobsledding done this weekend and the attraction will re-open this summer.

According to Disneyland's website, the Matterhorn will reopen on June 14, 2012.

I doubt they'll change any track elements or show elements. I think this is purely to add bigger cars to increase ride capacity seeing as this is not a fastpass attraction.
