Soar high above the midways and travel back to 2012 to relive a permanently lost, historic piece of East Coast theme park history! This is a full, scenic ride-through of the legendary "Skyway" (A Cable side) at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, beautifully preserved from October 27, 2012.
Originally built by Von Roll for the iconic 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, this massive dual-station skyride spent nearly 50 years acting as a beloved shortcut and scenic escape, carrying generations of guests between Frontier Adventures and the Boardwalk. This vintage archive captures a breathtaking, bird's-eye view of the park during the final weekend of the 2012 season, gliding directly over the autumn crowds, autumn foliage, and world-class roller coasters like El Toro and Kingda Ka as they looked over a decade ago. Following its permanent removal at the end of 2024, this footage stands as a priceless historical record of a classic.
