Dec 2, 2010 - I remember having my picture taken on the stairs during New Years Eve 1983...Very sad to see memories turn into just that.

Dec 18, 2010 - They didn't completely destroy it. They just left the bottom half and took out the top.

May 21, 2011 - Exactly! They did the same with the wand at Epcot! Just dumped it by the Epcot parking lot, bits and pieces of the iconic wand just trashed. Shame on you Disney!

May 28, 2011 - Why not? If It is just going to sit there taking up space, get rid of it! They could put a new ride/attraction there. If you meant why they stopped using it, someone died fixing it so WDW got rid of the ride but left the station.

ClubpenguinCutie7 Says:

May 29, 2011 - Actilly, they can't put a new attraction there because there are BATHROOMS there!

TheCrazyCoasterKid Says:

May 29, 2011 - LOL. Put a ride around the bathrooms??? 0_0

Jun 4, 2011 - actually the history is sad it was taken down for safety reasons

ClubpenguinCutie7 Says:

Jun 6, 2011 - IF NO ONE CAN GET UP THERE AND THE IS NO RIDE ATTACHED TO IT IT'S SAFE! ALSO, HOW WOULD PEOPLE FEEL IF THEY DEMOLLISHED THE FERRIS WHEEL AT MOREY'S PEIRS (you know, been all over the news. Happened in Wildwood, NJ. You get it)? NO ONE WOULD LIKE IT! NOT BECAUSE IT IS A RIDE BUT, IT IS THERE TO HONOR THE GIRL WHO DIED ON IT! THAT IS WHY THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT THE SKYWAY STATION!

Jun 12, 2011 - listen there was a sky bucket ride incident at six flags where one of the buckets fell killing people and so people were in such a buzz about it, disney closed down their sky buckets calm down

ClubpenguinCutie7 Says:

Jun 12, 2011 - But still! It's history!!!!!!! ALL WHO AGREE WITH ME, PUT A THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!

loveyd1000 Says:

Jun 14, 2011 - all the people I've talked to who were there when it was up said there was nothing spectacular about it. Now Disney can put something there to make the park better.

ClubpenguinCutie7 Says:

Jun 15, 2011 - LIKE WHAT? NAME 3 THINGS THEY COULD PUT THERE THAT ARE BETTER THAN DISNEY HISTORY

Jun 15, 2011 - I say that since the skyway has been closed the two stations should have both been torn down and use the space for something else.Whether it be rides or an eatery or even just a meet and greet area,it is valuable space in WDW.I am from the old school and I grew up watching disney on tv,I'm 52 yrs old.I fully believe in the original stuff and leave the originals when adding new things.But if this ride is never going to re-open then take down the structures and put something useful in both areas

loveyd1000 Says:

Jun 18, 2011 - I'll name six: 1. a little museum that shows revolutionary inventions of the past and new inventions being developed2. If you like history then they could revive the noodle station3. A place where kids can take pictures with characters such as buzz lightyear and emperor zerg 4. That thing in down town disney where you build your own roller coaster but also put one there5. An arcade with a "tommorow" theme6. RestroomsAlso your caps lock seems to be broken.

loveyd1000 Says:

Jun 18, 2011 - just saw the thing about restrooms so it validates my point

ClubpenguinCutie7 Says:

Jun 18, 2011 - And here are some problem with that1. thats what inovations is in epcot2. I just dont get #23. they have them all over the park4. they have that sin Disney Quest and they dont want another 5. they have arcades in all the hotels6. THERE ARE ALREADY RESTROOMS THERE!!!AND NO MY CAPS ARE NOT BROKEN!!

loveyd1000 Says:

Jun 18, 2011 - listen i'm done arguing over something that has already happen. Walt Disney was big on adaption so his park will always be changing and advancing. Disney world will keep all the rides but keep in mind how many times they've refurbished rides to update them. If we followed your example then nothing would ever change.

ClubpenguinCutie7 Says:

Jun 19, 2011 - You don't get it. I could care less if they they tore down something like... A small pivillian. But there is no reason to have torn it down. It has just been there so long! Oh and sorry.

Jun 27, 2011 - i don't hold any attachment to the disney world skyway,so i cant say i feel bad that the buildings were torn down. the fantasyland skyway station here in anaheim still stands 15 years after it colsed. the trees have overgrown it so much you wouldn't know it's there if you'd never seen it. if it were torn down i'd feel saddened. mostly because it's a place where walt disney actually stood. that's what makes it a landmark. having it there barely visible among the trees is somehow comforting to me.

Jul 12, 2011 - I wish they would have kept the building up but just used it for something else. It was a big part of WDW history, and aside from that, it was a pretty cool looking piece of architecture. ....I miss the old Tomorrowland.

dgpsf Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - They did use it for something else...when I worked there in 2004, that building had a stockroom for Tomorrowland's Pin Cart. :D And I think we also had hats in there for the Hat Cart.

dgpsf Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - LOL @ #5, there's an arcade "with a 'tomorrow' theme" right next door bro. Literally 50 feet from that building.Kids love it but lots of parents hate it since there are arcades anywhere and they're paying $100/head to be in WDW and now they have to give their kids quarters for games. LOL.
