Can anyone tell me what this building used to be?

[kellyb30]

If you are in Tomorrowland, the building in between Carousel of Progress and Space Mountain has been unoccupied for as long as I can remember. There are bathrooms on the bottom floor, but you can tell at one time the upstairs was used for something. Anyone remember?

Thanks for the help!

I believe you're referring to the old skyway building! It used to carry guests from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland.

:wave:

I guess I should have dug a little longer. Just realized it was the old Skyway. I started going in 1976 when I was 2 and stopped going in the late 80s. We started going every year again when my son turned 2 in 2005. So........I guess I didn't remember that attraction!

Sorry!

I wish we could have those things back

I dunno, to be completely honest I dont miss them all that much. They were a bit of an eye soar. It was a neat way to get from Fantasy Land over to Tomorrowland though. When 20k was still there i used to LOVE looking down on the subs going in and out of the caves.

skyway

i don't miss them one bit... it was one of those i don't want to say cheap... but non theme'd things that served no purpose besides transport

altho i do remember back in the early/mid 90's it was one of the only places you could get cell phone reception

Too cool...

I don't exactly miss them all that much. I just liked getting a different perspective of everything and of course a lazy way of getting across the park.

They used to scare the crap out of me mainly because I am scared of heights!

Yea I have that problem as well. Some things bother me less than others. Tower of Terror im fine on. But something in the open, such as a rollercoaster, really gets me.

If im in the front car of Everest and you get to the broken tracks looking out over WDW...that messes me up a bit

I have to laugh! I am not a fan of heights either (still can't ride many roller coasters) but I had no problem on them until someone would try and rock the thing then all panic would set in!

I used to be scared that someone was going to throw something down on me.

If you are like me and never got to ride the Skyway, here's a link to a video.

Please keep your arms and legs inside while the bucket is moving.

Yep. They did offer a nice view.

Yeah, I was there in 1990 and not only had any desire to ride the buckets, but I don't recall ever actually noticing them XD

Yeah, the first time I visited WDW it had the Birthday Cake Castle, and since I had not seen it before, it really did not bother me as much as it did other folks.

 

[Dragonrider1227]

Although it would be nice if it was there now. With all the HD and digital cameras out there now, we could get some real killer footage today!
