Take a peaceful journey high above the midway and experience a true opening-day classic that is still running today! This is a full, scenic ride-through of the Delta Flyer / Eagle’s Flight skyride at California's Great America in Santa Clara, beautifully preserved from August 6, 2012.
Originally opened in 1976 during the park's inaugural Marriott era, this legendary Von Roll Type 101 cable car system has given generations of guests a breathtaking, bird's-eye view of the entire park. While many classic skyrides across the country have disappeared, Great America's dual-station gondola remains a beloved, operating staple of the park's skyline. This vintage 2012 POV captures a beautiful, relaxing cruise from end to end, soaring right over the theme park crowds, vibrant midways, and iconic rides.
