Disneyland closes the turnstiles at the end of this day on one of its oldest and most popular attractions, the Skyway - a gondola lift attraction. The Skyway, opened since 1956, is closed due to the enormous impending cost to retrofit it for earthquake safety.
November 9, 1999:
Exactly five years after the grounding of the Skyway at Disneyland, the Skyway at Florida's Magic Kingdom carries its last guest. It had been a popular attraction ever since Walt Disney World first opened in 1971.
The Skyway was a gondola lift attraction at Disneyland, at the Magic Kingdom, and at Tokyo Disneyland. Since all versions of this attraction took riders back and forth between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, the route from Tomorrowland was called Skyway to Fantasyland, and the route from Fantasyland was called Skyway to Tomorrowland.
