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.
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.
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 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.
@@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!
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
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).
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.
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
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.

The 1990s was the best Disneyland!
Agree! 💯
That was my favorite part, riding thru the Matterhorn and hearing Harold screaming..... I miss old school Disneyland💔
Same
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. 💚
I completely agree!!!
1990s were the BEST Tomorrow Land!!
Going through the Matterhorn was my favorite part of the skyliner.
Disneyland needs to bring back the skyway. Truly need’s it.
especially during parades
Haha. "Are those bugle boy Jean's you're wearing?"
Lol, what a sign of the times!
Dude! Thank you for taking and uploading this!!!
The most painful loss to the skyride community

It brings back good memories.
I last rode this about a year before this was recorded. It is definitely missed. Thank you for sharing.
What an incredible time capsule! Thank you!
I'm reading Cleaning the Kingdom, and there's a beautiful section about the Skyway's final night.
When Disneyland was EPIC!
I rode this on the last day in 1994.
Then you're part of history.
That was when I was born
When tomorrowland was still tomorrowland wow.

I miss this ride so much.
I am sorry that the Skyway ride is no longer at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. It is still available at some other amusement parks nationwide.
California’s Great America still has one
Both the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld San Diego still have the exact same model of Skyway running to this day!
Sure, but they are nowhere near as magical as that one

Last I went, Six Flags New England had a gondola

Of course, a small group of ppl ruin it for everyone
No, it's not. There were stress fractures in the Matterhorn, and it was too expensive to make repairs.
I miss having a fully functional Tomorrowland. 😢

Joint Time!
I wish I was on the skyway here!
Is the yeti still in the Matterhorn?
Yes, but cast members say it is the Abominable Snowman and they are newer audio animatronic figures that were installed in 2012

One year before I was born
Good bye SKYWAY 😢
Less crowded.. miss those days
I miss this. Those crowds didn't look bad either!
Back before everyone had an annual pass. Lol
the best ride threw matterhorn!!!!
No way this closed in 94
Back when Tomorrowland was REALLY a land always on the move. Now? Not so much.....
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.
Why would they take this down?
Back when Disneyland looked cool.
Beautyful Von Roll VR101
Yes... the all-time world's first detachable single-cable ropeways. And some of the best too of course.
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

There were stress fractures in the Matterhorn, and they were too expensive to repair. Therefore, Disneyland removed the Skyway from the park.
cheap bastards

1991
Disneyland Skyway is permanently closed
This was such a purer time. No pandemics, no media pushing racism or other perversions, not as much infighting. Just one big happy America………….
