Grab a bucket of Sweet Martha's Cookies, glide high above the crowds, and experience a true Midwest classic that is still running today! This is a full, scenic ride-through of the historic Skyride at the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul, beautifully preserved from August 29, 2013.
Originally opened in 1964, this classic Von Roll cable car system has spent over half a century giving generations of fairgoers a breathtaking, bird's-eye view of the massive fairgrounds. This vintage 2013 POV captures a beautiful, relaxing cruise across the sky, soaring right over the bustling agricultural buildings, neon-lit independent midways, and endless rows of iconic fair food stands during a picture-perfect late August day.
