A photographic ride-through on the Ford Magic Skyway attraction from the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Brought to you by the Disneyland Attraction. – From: CarouselofProgress

This ride was commissioned by Ford but developed by the Walt Disney Studio. Riders would travel on a rail in a Ford car through different scenes utilizing audio-animatronics. You will recognize the dinosaurs at the beginning of the attraction as they have been in Disneyland’s Primeval World diorama since 1966.
