Matterhorn & Skyway, July 1961

You can't ride the Skyway anymore; it's sad but true. There are many theories as to why; I tend to favor the "proliferation of idiots" theory. Anyway, we can still ride it in our imaginations - when I'm driving on the freeway I often close my eyes and pretend that I am high over Tomorrowland with the wind in my face and loud truck horns blaring.

Here we've just left the Tomorrowland Skyway terminal; boy-howdy, just look at that crowd down below. Each person has a story to tell. A long, boring story involving Tupperware.


We've nearly crossed over the Sub lagoon, and are approaching the Matterhorn; it sure looks great with the waterfalls turned on full.


Even though a mere two seconds has elapsed, it's time for yet another photo! And you know what? I actually left out two other pictures from the same Skyway trip. You can clearly see the red light that was atop the buckets. When the light was on, it meant that you wanted a beer.
