I miss the Skyway!

BTW, an ice cream cart (IC 14, Dumbo Ice Cream), stands where that large pylon is for the Skyway. At least I think so, if that building is Pinocchio's Village Haus...

I've always loved that concept art for Walt Disney World (the one showing the peoplemover). I wonder how much *better* Walt Disney World would have been if they followed Walt's original plans (as seen in his Epcot video).
