Oldest operating steel coaster.

I know that Leap-the-Dips is the oldest woodie but for some reason I have no clue what the oldest operating steel is. Help me out please!!
Easy, the first Steel coaster, Matterhorn at Disneyland.
Is that still operating?

Leap the Dips was restored and re-opened in 1999 making it the oldest operating roller coaster in the world. It was SBNO for years prior to a restoration effort by concerned coaster enthusiasts. (with deep pockets)

As for Matterhorn (my first coaster) you bet it is still running.

I believe the Matterhorn opened ih the late 50's 57 I think.
