Fantasyland Skyway Station

[SeaCastle]

Hello,

Does anyone have any pictures from the interior and exterior of the Fantasyland Skyway Station (recent or otherwise)? Also, are there any plans for the refurbishing/repurposing of it?

Thanks in advance!

Personally I think they are just going to leave it there to mock everyone who loved the skyway.

On another note I though there had been talk of the Pixie hollow m&g being there but then it never happened.

I think it's gone in the expansion.

Nope. FLE doesn't effect that side of Fantasyland.

Now that I think about it you are correct. I was thinking that was going to be the area that they put the forced perspective castle for Beast.

Here are a few of fantasyland and Tommorowland. http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions/Skyway/News/14Nov1999-Photos-of-the-now-closed-Skyway.htm

Here's a walk-through of the Fantasyland skyway queue in 1991 from Widen Your World:

Followed by the Skyway ride itself, if you're interested:

And for the complete experience, here's a stationary view of the outside of the Fantasyland skyway station.

(I highly recommend viewing all of WYW's videos... Brings back a lot of memories, and gives you the "you're really there, taking a break on a bench in the park" feel more than any other videos out there)

I thought it had gone.

I never could understand why a meet-n-greet wasn't put up there. That would be an ideal place for one I would think.

the fantasyland end is now stoller parking

 

[WDW-Crazy]

I know that. What I mean is that parts of the entrance/exit are still there, so it would make sense to have a character meet-n-greet up there, especially with stroller parking at that spot.

The Skyway building at Tomorrowland is complete in its remodel..the upper level, tracks, stairs are all gone. I think there is a thread showing the demo.

Probably because the queue would've mostly been outdoors. Too hot for guests and whiney kids.

I hope they keep it It adds nicely to the decor :shrug:
