How old are your videos?? They're great, btw!

@iceman4785 The majority of videos featured in the "Vanished" series were filmed in 1994.

Others filmed on subsequent trips get added when the rides are closed down.

I think people may go nuts for me saying this, but I am glad the Skyway is gone. It looked so tacky, and while I am a Disney "purist", the Skyway made Disney look like Six Flags.

It's beyond amazing that you have these old videos. I remember a lot of these and I was sooooooooooooooooo little. I haven't been since!!! I'm dying to go again. Yes, I'm a 38 year old stuck in a child's mentality... which I think we all are when it comes to Disney.

@del1000005 I completely disagree. It added beautiful color to the park's skyline and gave riders some peaceful aerial views of the Magic Kingdom.

Every year at the local county fair, a chairlift is set up (with colorful chairs). That ride alone is enough to make me go to the fair as it brings back some very special memories of Walt Disney's skyway.

@cristelvideo I just knew they had to have come from the mid-90s. My parents took a 9-year-old version of me there in 1994 and we stayed at the newly-opened Wilderness Lodge and it was probably the best vacation ever... or at least until December 95 when we we went back! :p

The "Vanished" series bring back a lot of memories! Thank you so much for posting!!!!

I enjoyed this ride, but as much fun as it wa,s I think it was a bit too dangerous. I loved that Bavarian cottage it came out of in FantasyLand xD

@del1000005

I would also imagine that it would take a good deal of the "magic" away for children to see that all those fanciful buildings were facades.

@discjockeyjoe You're not the ONLY 38 year old, who also named JOE, who is stuck in a child's mentality. I so remember the Skyway as a kid. My 1st trip to WDW ever, I was 9. My mom was scared shit, but I LOVED it. The memories....

I was looking in my album and saw a pic of this from 1999 in orlando. I freaked out just thinking it was there and i didnt remember! XD

Anybody else thought it was weird that when you looked down there wasnt a bunch of people with maps covering their faces and little brats.. I mean kids throwing a temper tantrum...I mean being little angels?

@discjockeyjoe you sound like a pedophile.
