[edit] Skyways at other amusement parks

I've added a paragraph about skyways at other amusement parks, since there's no article about skyways as a type of amusement ride (just as a Disney amusement ride). If an article for that is created, then feel free to move this content over:

Several non-Disney amusement parks have had skyways similar to those at the Disney parks, including Paramount's Kings Dominion. Like the Disney parks' skyways, the skyway at Kings Dominion closed in the mid-1990s. One station was removed, and the other went unused for several years before being converted into a restaurant and a Scooby Doo-themed dark ride at the start of the 2004 season.

[edit] Earthquake fears

I've read that the Disneyland skyway along with the Eagke's Flight skyway at Six Flags Magic Mountain were both removed in 1994 following the Northridge Earthquake. If someone can find a reliable source stating this, I believe it should be added to the article Hunter103 07:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Breakage in factbox

First factbox has some breakage where it mentions dimensions. Don't have the time to look up the correct input format, but someone else might. --81.225.76.189 00:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism

Does anyone else realized that the last two paragraphs of the ==History== section were plagiarized from here? |Noone 01:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additional History

When the Disneyland Skyway was ridden for the last time, the bucket contained some of the long-time skyway operators. One was Ernie Burns, an employee since 1970, the last part-time permanent status employee. A Disney representative ceremoniously presented him with the first nut and bolt removed from the ride. Ernie also had the red/green/yellow glass bezels from the control panel as well. Ernie Burns passed away 6/5/07. His son has those momentos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.74.184.140 (talk) 08:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
