Matterhorn Bobsleds
There are plenty of rumors about Disneyland, but one story that is true is the tale of the basketball court at the top of this mountain.  The Bobsleds use the bottom 80 feet of the mountain, and the top 67 feet is fairly empty.  There are a few external access hatches that climbers can use, stairs to the top that were used when Tinkerbell flew off the top of the peak, and two electric motors that pull sleds to the top of the tracks.  The unused section of the mountain's interior was converted to a small basketball court!  There isn't room for a full court layout, but there is a hoop and a free-throw circle and lane lines.
