I rode this in 1978. I remember very clearly wanting "Superman Spinball Pinball" for Christmas. Santaland was all decorated with a Gnomes theme, based on the popular coffee table book at the time. It was really magical.
I remember riding this when I was a small child. Luckily my oldest daughter got to ride it in 2005 - it's last year in operation. Another tradition gone by the wayside in the name of "progress."
I wanted to ride it when I shot this video, but only kids were allowed to. I guess I'm still a kid at heart.
They still have the monorail in the "monorail memory room", so perhaps one day they will bring it back. Stranger things have happened. Nice of Macy's to not have forgotten the Monorail entirely. The kids in the MMR did seem to enjoy playing in the monorail cars, such as they were.
I'm 24 and I've thought about this thing a few times a year since I was a kid :D
