The Skyway
Once upon a time, Disneyland guests could travel from one end of the park to the other by air. For 38 years, the Von Roll 101 Skyway provided aerial transportation from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland and vice versa. It was a scenic and mildly thrilling experience that has left a visible mark on Disneyland’s history.Follow Discoveryland on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! https://www.facebook.com/DiscoverylandShow/ https://www.instagram.com/discoverylandshow/ https://twitter.com/DiscoverylandVC Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/VictoriasCantinaVisit Von Roll Model Ropeways on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vonrollmodelropeways

Opening Day
Disneyland’s opening day on July 17th, 1955, also known as Black Sunday, was marred by construction setbacks, overcrowding, food and beverage shortages, broken down rides, and television broadcast issues. It was a far cry from the Happiest Place on Earth mantra the park is now famous for.
