  • Riding the Skyway Ride at Disneyland back on April 24, 1991. How exciting it was to take that ride and pass through the Matterhorn. Unfortunately this ride is no longer at Disneyland and is sadly missed. Wish they would bring it back. Fortunately I was able to experience this ride several times at both Disneyland, Anaheim and Walt Disney's The Magic Kingdom in Florida. The ride was also eliminated at The Magic Kingdom several years ago.

    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.

      The 1990s was the best Disneyland!

      I'm so glad to find this video today. First time I rode this I was 2 years old, and I completely remember how I believed that monster was real. 💚

    My parents boarded the Skyway ride in Disneyland before I was born. This DOES bring back memories. Too bad that I didn't board these vehicles back then. My dad called them 🚡s for some weird reason. 👍🏻 if you want this attraction and the Peoplemover back in Disneyland forever. I'm NOT joking. You get to see Harold the yeti in this video before he got a face lift.

    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.

    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

      No, it's not. There were stress fractures in the Matterhorn, and it was too expensive to make repairs.

    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).

      @@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!

    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.

    The video makes it feel like ancient history, but it feels like only a short time ago. Time DOES fly.
