What do oscilloscopes, Swiss cheese, and Barack Obama have to do with Disney’s defunct Skyway ride?
On this episode of Distory, we fly up above the Disney parks like a tea-tray in the sky as we board a bucket for the Skyway in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. This gondola ride not only provided a picture-perfect view of the parks, it carried history with it from some unique places in Europe where Walt spent time (possibly escaping his brother). As we walk through the concepts, creation, and evolution of this beloved attraction, we learn about the art of the Fantasyland sky station, what the inner section of the Matterhorn was called, some unique railing designs, and the rumors (and facts) about why this ride closed. Kirk says something Kate never thought he would say, Kate visits an Amish barn, and we end this episode discussing the Magic Kingdom version and talking about where you can find some remnants of this defunct attraction today in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
Join us LIVE on TikTok every Friday at 5:30pm Pacific/8:30pm Eastern for more Distory!
