November 19, 1996. A One Way Trip to Fantasyland from Tomorrowland by Skyway at the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, FL. Not too many years before Disney dismantled the Skyway, here's a trip from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland by air, it has the unique turn in the middle where one set of cables hands your car off to another, and you can see the waterway from the old 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea voyage that had already been closed.
Video by Alan S. Dalinka.

Omg people don’t understand how AMAZING this footage is. Take it in folks. This is the BEST of vintage WDW

@HopeBlackstock-31690 2 месяца назад

Thanks for kinda bringing back the skyway to ride thru the Disney magic of RU-vid

@HopeBlackstock-31690 2 месяца назад

Like how I used the words thru the Disney magic huh ?

@Just_a_guy06 5 лет назад

Thing im seeing that stands out....the sheer lack of humanity walking the park. If this was today it would just be a sea of people shoulder to should. Would love to visit Disney with that small of a crowd size.

@FoolishMortal6121 4 года назад

Another thing I see standing out... the number of trees, especially in the beginning of the video. Now we know where they got the room to build all the new rides!

@darrenhill3514 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing. Brings back a lot of memories. Wish my kids could experience a few of the attractions from that time period.

@CraigYanson 3 года назад

I wish I could have ridden 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

@SaraHouck461 Год назад

Now I know why there are complaints over attractions getting replaced. They easily trigger concerns regarding FOMO (fear of missing out).

@ethandelcampo5863 8 лет назад

That is a shame that they closed the Skyway. They closed years before I was born, and I would have loved it. But my dad rode it when he was a kid. And that's another shame they closed 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. :-(

@darrenhill3514 6 лет назад

Totally agree!!! I was fortunate to have been on both attractions and I miss them.

@leonardhughes4521 5 лет назад

The main reason why the 20thousand leagues sub ride was because it consistently was leaking into the service tunnels that connect under the park.

@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329 4 года назад

Luckily for me I saw them because I was born in 1997 two years before this attraction closed

@MiyamotoMORI 8 месяцев назад

I rode this Skyway and the 20,000 Leagues when I was only 5 in 1993.

@mf29961 2 года назад

I started my WDW College Program in Jan of 1997, just a few weeks after you recorded this.

@danielboone3770 3 месяца назад

I LOVE the Skyway! Especially at WDW! Wish that was still there!

@adamspeck3767 7 лет назад

I remember being here for the 25th anniversary and seeing the castle as a birthday cake like it was in this video. I was 11 then, wow how times flies. Great video of the skyway.

I shuddered the moment that pink monstrosity came into view.

@08WSChamps 15 лет назад

dude RockMeRollMe, I was 6 years old too, and went there in 96 remember how cool the castle was and riding the skyway and very vaguely remember seeing the 20,000 Leagus under the sea ride. This video was actually taken on my 6th B-day Nov 19th! thts so cool. Good memories, I cant wait to go back this August!!!

@jameskeeth4037 4 года назад

The castle was dreadful. I remember stood in horror seeing it x

@hewlard 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for posting this awesome vid. Also, thanks for posting the film from the ground. So nostalgic. My family always had an amazing time riding the Skyway.

@andrewschannel4259 8 месяцев назад

I really wish they kept this in operation! It's a good thing that the Skyride at Busch Gardens Tampa is still running!

@bretbowen8226 6 лет назад

Very nice video......Some great rides that are no longer with us.

@durstin8er 3 года назад

if you think about it the disney world sky liner is a modern day disney skyway

@SaraHouck461 Год назад

@Nick Durst Seems legit. I figure the Skyliner came from an idea as a way of getting around the resort while simultaneously appeasing guests who pine for the days when the Magic Kingdom had its own skyway.

@Go0s3maN 7 лет назад

Thanks for sharing this video! Another ride long gone from Disney footprints. Seeing 20,000 LUTS sure brings back memories!

@MrBROTHERFELDER 3 года назад

It’s funny, my wife and I rode the skyway the first time we visited WDW, next time we went back, it was gone. We thought we’d imagined it!

@breeannwatkins6314 2 года назад

Throwback. Even the 20,000 league under the sea attraction. Takes me back.

@Xmetalfanx 8 лет назад

I cant remember if I ever got to ride this but I did go to Disney a few times though only the first year or two that I went was when 20,000 Leagues was still open. MAN i miss that ride

@CrazyCamelBen 5 лет назад

Throwback! Thank you for sharing this.

@OGRunner 12 лет назад

Cool video. Hated the castle cake. Still miss 20,000 leagues under the sea.

@andrewarmstrong7310 6 лет назад

My girlfriend gave me my first kiss on the Skyway in July 1983. Never forget that or the ride. I really miss it. The best time to ride it was late evening just after sunset. Awesome views of the area.

@tmoore4075 6 лет назад

I was there a month after this for Christmas and rode it then. Kinda weird to think I was there not long after this and that it was over 20 years ago....god I'm old. Even with the ugly pink castle, there is something nostalgic about it for me since that was a fantastic Disney trip for me.

@ThePirateprincess23 14 лет назад

@BusterWebkinz That is because WDW is still celebrating their 25 anniversary. Cinderella Castle was decorated as a birthday cake at that time.

@ReesiePuffs64 16 лет назад

Love the castle for the 25th celebration.

@jamesfields4722 4 года назад

Me too

Video about the MK skyway with the last frame centered on another classic ride that's no longer- Mr. Toad.

@bradgrauer9148 3 года назад

Never went on the 1,000 leagues ride myself since it's called 20,000 leagues

@vonrollskyway1 16 лет назад

its all one cable.its a turn station.the drive was in fantasyland.the tension was in tomorrowland.the 1st aerial tramway of its type to make a 90 degree turn.built by vonroll ltd bern switzerland.

@gavincrowley562 7 лет назад

vonrollskyway1 do you know what the detaching system and drive through the stations and turn were? Sorry for the 8 year delay!

@jamesfields4722 4 года назад

Me neither, but I remember the time when I rode in Six Flags Over Georgia.

@Ashfangirl22 12 лет назад

Holy cow, I remember this ride at DisneyLand, classic rides. Why did they get rid of this?

2:31 wtf happened to the castle? It looks like a massive bounce house

@Just_a_guy06 5 лет назад

they changed it to look like a giant cake...terrible idea.

@karens8633 5 лет назад

Strange, My family visited in ‘93 but I can’t remember the gondolas still being there! Maybe my ‘99 trip memories have replaced the ‘93 trip! I don’t think I ever went on the 1000 Leagues ride, my Dad was Claustrophobic! 😝

@jtm12180 15 лет назад

yep, and the area underneath it is stroller parking. such ashame to see that station just sitting there.

@edwinvazquez4230 4 года назад

Skyway’s popularity started to decline, and retiring it was a particularly good idea to make way for expanded restrooms and a transition area between Fantasyland and Liberty Square. Like Plaza Swan Boats, Disney made a good choice by retiring the Skyway.

@SaraHouck461 Год назад

I figure that's why they now have the Skyliner, basically as a cool new way to get around the resort while simultaneously appeasing guests who pine for the days when the Skyway was in operation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-42biogA-RjA.html

A few rides were down when I went last week

@henrys3629 6 лет назад

Structural issues closed the ride, but every other state fair has one of these that is super sketch. Not fair!

@gavincrowley562 7 лет назад

Weird to see this old detachable "gondola" system compared to modern high speed gondolas at ski resorts!

@arysio430 9 лет назад

What was in that tent next to Pinocchio Village Haus seen at 2:54? I can't remember what it was.

@fontbot 6 лет назад

Adam Rysio: Former location of Ariel's Grotto, which had a meet and greet and water play area.

It didn't close down, they put it underground now with pad mounted transformers.

@x-fun3149 6 лет назад

@@joseorduna6270 Nope, because the other ones were closing because EuroDisneyland didn't make bank, causing the parks to get massive budget cuts

@aserna32 13 лет назад

THEY CLOSED THIS AND 20,000 LEAGUES!?!! :( Not good!

@woodencoasterfan 15 лет назад

I wonder if WDW sold the ride (without the gondolas) to Busch Gardens Africa in Tampa, FL. The towers look to be the same height and the turn looks to be the same as well and I believe BGA installed theirs shortly after this one closed. I've got a video of BGA's skyride on my RU-vid site and I've always wondered where they got it from.

@AlfieMoth 6 лет назад

Good thing they’re making a new skyline in WDW now, eh?!

@margoc88 15 лет назад

The birthday cake castle

@austiniscoolduh 10 лет назад

I can't believe they tore down the fantasyland station to replace it with a meet & greet...

@ronbloomberg 7 лет назад

Dankrupt They didn't replace it with a meet & greet. It was replaced with a restroom (the Rapunzel Castle restroom.)

@fontbot 6 лет назад

The Fantasyland station might have been used for character meets before they replaced it, but I don't remember. The entire area was reconfigured for the Tangled tower and restrooms, with the old restrooms by Peter Pan's Flight being converted into the ride's indoor standby queue.
