i remember the Sky Ride but was too young and poor to go on it

I figure a hurricane would not be good for this thing.

Do you think there was lot of love making on those?

I rode that thing many times! Thanks for posting!

Its criminal what they did to PC aint nothin left worth a toot

Rode it, loved it

Wasn't this ride damaged by a hurricane? I thought Von Roll 101s were built to withstand everything except bad riders and bad operators

There are remnants of the rail from the magic world railway under the rear terminal that sits behind Shipwreck Golf. Still about 3 gondolas still dangling from the terminal and the cable was dumped all around the base.

Great video. Skyrides are really my thing, and this video was just great. Especially love videos of long, lost attractions such as this. Thanks for sharing.

***** , I can't tell by your user name, are you a member of the "Von Roll Type 101 Skyride..." group on Facebook?

I would love a copy of this video on a DVD if you have it, or any other videos of driving down the strip in panama city beach back in the 60's and 1970's. I miss those old motels. Our friends owned the Sun Dial motel in panama city beach. I have been going down their since 1975 and miss footage of what it use to be like. Email me at (steagall1000@yahoo.com) If you have a extra copy of this or anything of the panama city beach strip back then. Thanks, Scott

I know what you mean. We live near B'ham, Al and often visit PC. Sadly it's all buildings now. I liked it so much better when I was a child. The old train that use to go around Miracle Strip is here in Warrior, Al where I live. It sits off I-65 behind the house of Millionaire owner Ted Hallmark. He purchased the train in the late 80's. thanks for sharing...

OR, if you have info on the Hangout 1940s era, we would love to hear from you. jtw2005,etc.

Anyone with old movies from the 1940s jitterbug contests please get in touch with me at jesusthewarrior2005@yahoo.com. My mom was a contest winner back then, and she would love to hear from you.

Why did you add the "It's called"??? You could come across as much less of a douche bag if you simply stated that the song is in the credits at the end. Ill also have you know that I did figure out the song name without your contemptuous comment.

The year I started working there the owner installed old style police car bubble gum machines and car batteries under the seat to power them. Pretty good attraction draw especially at night, when the viewfrom the ride was less, unfortunately. Had to charge the batteries every night. The guy had a Lincoln Mark III, which he used as a ladder to change lights and such. Moron.

This is an awesome find for me. I actually worked at the Sky Ride for three Summers when I was a teenager (1969-1971). Most of the time I was the guy at the back stage who hauled the cars around and sent them back to the front. It didn't pay much, but it was an interesting job ... great memories. I also worked maintenance at Goofy Golf a couple Summers. Thanks for sharing and for encouraging others to do the same. I don't have anything as old as your video though.

What is the song?

i live second from remnants

Memories, memories, we went each year until my Dad died in '89................

Great job....brings back memories.

Wow! So cool to see this working! I've seen the hulking rusted remains for at least a decade. Ha ha! "Googie style" roof! Nice reference!
