A long time ago! Who has rode these?

Can you imagine the caliber of live pics we would get on the Skyway?? I can envision some awesomesauce shots from inside Matterhorn or of a sunset. - JRDrummer_CM  789.4 #117 10:11PM
I didn't like walking under these things cause Donnie Vegas would use my head as a bullseye. - PrincessDuckie  587.1 #187 9:35AM
I did! 😁 - DisneyDavidEMT  451.3 #273 9:07PM
I remember stuff getting dropped on me from it a lot lol I used to love going through the Matterhorn on it. - Eugmousefan  29.0 #4417 9:08PM
Stuff = euphuism for spit 😜 - Tom  3847.9 #7 10:42PM
Mostly lol - Eugmousefan  29.0 #4417 10:45PM
Wow thank u for this pic...I love it and miss the sky buckets. I always say "they should bring the sky buckets back...but cage it like mickeys fun wheel".... best view of thw park was from the sky buckets - bellerie  11.6 #6304 9:08PM
I have! Great memories! As a kid, sometimes I was able to find my parents walking as I was riding. That was pre-cell phone days when parents had a check in time and location in the park. - widowtallan  242.0 #1089 9:08PM
I remember those days too. Our in case we got lost location was the castle which in hind sight was so crowded we probably wouldn't have found one another. - Dawnsharks  8.0 #7549 9:14PM
I remember doing that also lol I wish they would bring something like this back. Or the people movers. - Eugmousefan  29.0 #4417 9:16PM
We did that, too. All the kids split into groups and would go our separate ways and then meet up several times during the day, right in front of the Plaza Inn! Great memories. - meridafan  1035.1 #83 9:19PM
Me! - meridafan  1035.1 #83 9:09PM
*hangs head* not me! :( - Armenda  993.6 #89 9:09PM
I did! - ShariRenee  1505.5 #51 9:10PM
I have a lot more of the park from long ago. I will have to look for them and get them scanned in. - Eugmousefan  29.0 #4417 9:10PM

Hated it almost as much as the wheel of death, but rode it with my husband and monsters because they loved it sooo much 😘(heck, it's a 50/50 chance that I took this very picture!! 😊) - CAdreamer  94.8 #3094 9:12PM
I did!! I miss them - MissMolly  693.7 #143 9:13PM
That was the "make-out" ride...;-) - carminaire  30.0 #4367 9:13PM
Innerspace was way better in that regard! - Bunnie  282.0 #718 10:15PM
I did too! - erinten  236.1 #1151 9:14PM
I rode in them, but I always avoided walking under them. I remember seeing spit land on people who dared venture beneath them. - susieQzee  480.7 #247 9:17PM

No "walk off" ability! 😳 - DisneyDavidEMT  451.3 #273 9:59PM
I used to have a crazy neighbor who had two of these as lawn decorations. - OneDayAlice  331.6 #463 9:56PM
Sounds pretty cool! Doesn't John Stamos have one, or maybe it's a different attraction. - Bunnie  282.0 #718 10:09PM
He has the original DL sign I think. - Eugmousefan  29.0 #4417 10:46PM
My neighbor was nuts. - OneDayAlice  331.6 #463 10:49PM
I did I miss it 😒 - elidina29  24.6 #4687 10:01PM
I have it was so much fun! I was showing my daughter the entrance for it today. Wish they would bring them back - SpaceRAYnger  2400.7 #25 10:02PM
Every time I see it I remember the ride and a lot of other stuff long gone. - Eugmousefan  29.0 #4417 10:48PM
Where is the entrance, exactly? - PrincessMacy  501.6 #235 11:50PM
It's right across from the bathrooms near Gepettos pizza. They put a litte shopping stand in front of it. If you look behind there is a wooden structure. - Eugmousefan  29.0 #4417 7:09AM
not I.. Unlike most of you I didn't get the opportunity to experience Disneyland until about 4 years ago. Kinda stinks I missed out on some good stuff! - DisneyMe2Death  606.9 #180 10:04PM
Well it's always changing and new stuff will come and some will go. Then you can say hey who remembers this lol - Eugmousefan  29.0 #4417 10:47PM

I remember just a kid then but it sure was fun definitely should bring those back - foundpluto  288.0 #680 11:39PM
I miss going on that ride and never got to take my kids. We have done the one at the San Diego zoo a few times. But it's just not the same as the Disney one. I loved hearing the yeti in the Matterhorn and seeing the park from up in the sky. - leviathan  172.7 #1967 11:42PM
I did I remember my grandma went on and had a hard time with the heights I think I was 4 that's all I can rember on that trip then my cousin getting in big trouble as usual lol because he spit and was trying to drop stuff lol he grew up to be a good guy lol - lisaw  96.3 #3075 11:46PM
Ahh yes! The bucket ride as my dad called it when I was a little kid. Absolutely loved this ride!! Great memories thanks for sharing - MrYalla  4.9 #10653 11:49PM
My dad and I rode it every visit. My mom was scared of heights! Plus my dad liked to rock it! We got stuck once for about 30 min when someone fell against an emergency switch in Fantasyland. - Gia  785.4 #119 12:04AM
I rode this a lot! Esp my teen years....cute guys that pushed the "bucket" around. Took my Daughter on them the first time we took her to Disneyland. Miss going through The Matterhorn. Thank you for the great picture! - hippoluver  268.6 #836 12:22AM
Me! My Mom was afraid of heights and my dad would pretend to rock it! - Boundin  424.8 #298 12:32AM
