I think the person killed in America Sings was a park employee I vaguely remember the story and I do not think they were ever certain why she was at that spot at that moment, but she was crushed. You are right I think it was called Skyway but I seem to think there was another word with that.
Even though we all miss the old rides I must say it is still a wonderful place to spend a day. I was last there a year ago last October and completely enjoyed Halloween and I love Fantasmic...seems they are moving away from rides that accomodate 2 4 people on a car and going for more mass movement. Still you can go in and forget your troubles for a day.
You all brought back such good memories. I do remember that restaurant Chicken of the Sea...and I had forgotten the people mover and the mule ride...they were real mules..someone mentioned a swan ride that I don't remember. I think my first trip there was in 1957-1958..I know some rides did not make it through the firat year. I also remember wearing a big pink plastic sun hat that said Disneyland..I am sure I have a picture somewhere. I was sorry also when they took away Country Bear Jamboree...it was corny but so much fun.
I miss Mr. Toad's Wild ride also the Tram ride over the park was it the SkyRide? You would go through the Matterhorn. On the plus side they did add Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) to Pirates of the Caribbean!
