		The Skyway, one of the original Walt Disney World attractions, present when the park first opened in 1971, was an aerial tram (cable car) type ride, which took guests between the Fantasyland and TomorrowLand parts of the Magic Kingdom, on a ride that lasted for around 5 minutes.
		In Feb 1999 the Skyway was in the news when a part-time Disney employee who had been working in the loading area of the ride fell to his death.
		The ride was known as Skyway to Tomorrowland from the Fantasyland terminus, and as the Skyway to Fantasyland from the Tomorrowland terminus.

		The unblemished safety record of the Skyway (the 1994 "accident" was the first in the 38-year history of the ride), the obvious dubiousness of Charles' claim, and the relatively small amount of damages requested in his lawsuit all made this single incident extremely improbable as the reason for the Skyway's closure on
		The Skyway was not dismantled out of a fear of similar incidents, but for a variety of economic factors, including the attraction's age and carrying capacity, staffing requirements, maintenance costs, and the expense required to upgrade the Skyway to conform to newer safety and access standards.

		And later, in 1959, after Tomorrowland's major expansion, the Matterhorn was added and the Skyway passed through an opening in the mountain.
		Most people think that the skyway was taken out due to the injury of a park guest when he "fell out" of a bucket in late 1993.
		Due to heavy operational costs, maintenance, and the amount of cast members it took to operate the Skyway, the ride was closed in November 1994, and the hole in the Matterhorn was closed up shortly after.

		The Skyway used to be one way to get across the park quickly when a parade was going by.

	Disneyland -- Skyway to Tomorrowland (Disney Lies)
		The Skyway to Tomorrowland was a system of buckets -- each with a capacity of two adults and three children, or a family of three with the usual load of souvenirs -- that carried its load from Fantasyland, through a hole in the Matterhorn, to Tomorrowland via a big metal cable.
		The Skyway was decommissioned shortly after an incident involving a guest whose cardboard box containing hundreds of superballs proved to be structurally unsound.
		Because the Skyway to Tomorrowland and Skyway to Fantasyland ride vehicles were also mirror images and therefore not compatible, they were shunted into a holding area after each load of passengers was dropped off, and then returned each night by running the rides in reverse.

		But the component parts on that, such as the cone nuts and lock nuts, they were so hard, they were almost brittle, so we had to temper every one of those down so that they would not snap on impact when these kids were out racing or jumping or whatever.

		My favorite story, though it may admitedly be an urban legend, is that one woman claimed to have been injured by a falling stone of the castle, and was sueing Disney for damages.
		According to the story, they let it continue to an acutal hearing, at which point, Disney's lawer reveiled that useful bit of information that the castle was built with a fiberglass facade, so the woman couldn't have been hit by a falling stone as she claimed.

		The sign from Disneyland refers to the skyway as the skyride and the railroad as the train ride.
		With the sue happy nature of some people, the Skyway had the potential to drain resorses away from the parks to pay for frivilous law suits.
		It is a shame that Disney would choose to close Skyway while places like Six Flags over Georgia continue to offer the very similar skybuckets ride.
