I can only imagine what streamers of today could do with both the people mover and the skyway. Imagine a high res camera at night on this ride. we really lost out when middle management axed these rides.
I was born almost exactly a year later on April 22, 1992. Being born in Fountain Valley and raised in Anaheim 5 minutes from Disneyland I’ve gotten to experience the park many times. I don’t remember the Skyway even though it closed down in 1994 and I had my first trip in 1993 at age 1.
You don't realize how much Disney is losing its way until you see the Disneyland I remember. Beautiful kinetics. Attention to detail. Calm. Sightlines. Happy people. Escape from drama. Or you can go now and break your back to accommodate them. Deal with really upset cast members who have to be the moral police all day before retiring to sleeping in their car harassed by tweekers and cops. Cheypek- I'm coming for you. I want your job. You suck at it. Make Disneyland great again. (This neither means start a cult or riot. However I can live with a coup).
Last time I rode it was 91 or 92, which was the last time I went there. Entrance was $32 with unlimited rides. The video makes it feel like ancient history, but it feels like only a short time ago. Time DOES fly.
I love it so much fun I hope put back at Disneyland before New ride history books documentary netflix biography history books years before 65th anniversary celebration party years documenty years before New
This is a wonderful document. I hadn't realized how massive the Matterhorn looks from that height. I really wish I could have seen it in person. Another important loss: Look at those "crowds" compared to now. You used to be able to stroll through the park without the wall of human resistance and packs of stroller brigades dominating the field. You could actually enjoy the park and relax. Disneyland was so superior then. Thanks for sharing.
What a pity that Walt Disney never allowed any black kids to be Mouseketeers, so that they too could feel "as welcome as can be". What a good and deep and profound change that might have had on the world, how mournful that such an opportunity was lost.
Actually bronxbearbud, two Talent Roundup episodes, Friday in the Western Costumes, featured black kids, which is NOT what had happened on TV before 1955. Not enough, of course, but a reading of history and viewing of other kid's shows and evening adult series TV shows will show you are not completely correct. On the second version of the series, The NEW Mickey Mouse Club there were blacks, Asians, and so on but that was in the 1970s. Mouseketeer Lonnie Burr.
@7toedcat What a pity that millions went to their deaths up a chimney at Auschw-- "STOP LOOKING AT THE WORLD WITH TODAY'S EYES!" Thanks for the advice. I utterly and unequivocally reject it.
@7toedcat Clearly you don't like what I said about Walt Disney forbidding children of color from appearing on the Mickey Mouse Club. But why are you even commenting? You just told us to look the other way and say nothing if we don't like something. Why aren't you living by the rules you want to impose on others? Why are you being a spoiled brat and interfering with my comment and its simple call for fairness by whining about it. Just don't look, remember?
why a black person, most all white shows are a success without a black person----Family Ties, Seinfeld, Growing Pains, Married with Children, Home Improvements, Two and a half Men, Andy Griffith, Cheers, Happy Days, all without a black person
tomorrow land used to be awesome, with the skyway, people mover, and way less crowded than it is nowadays. This video captured what it was like in the 90s.
One of the reasons The Skyway went defunct was due to practical jokers dropping spit, bad eggs and other junk below as a prank, till it got so bad the Disney chieftans chose to close the ride for good
Amazing video! I can only imagine the size of your video camera when you took this video. The quality is excellent. Looking forward to more. Really brings back memories.
I remember the Magnificent Yankees American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps from Utica, NY. I'm still a Drum Corps fan today. And I new the RFA head majorette Elaine Izzo, actually had a crush on her back in the day.
@@psycho81212 Disneyland's one was also the same type. They were all Von Roll VR101's. Interesting story, Von Roll VR101's were the world's first detachable ski lifts ever developed. The first one was built in Flims(Switzerland) in 1945, unfortunately replaced in 1986. The one currently there is nice too however, I rode it once.(NOT the original 1945 one, the 1986 one I rode) Still several in America but just one we have here in Europe, it's the oldest detachable monocable ski lift worldwide!
2:08 Looks like Ontario flag. Rome isn't that far from Lake Ontario though. Also many of the people in the footage are American Legion if anyone was wondering
