The Ride Operators at that time (1979-81) wore really funky silver-lame astronaut-like mini-skirted costumes. Only women worked on this ride and all were the most attractive they could find. The tower was sponsored by Western Airlines (the "ooooonly way to fly", and the upstairs level had a little shop that sold Western Airlines-themed merchandise. There were large mylar window stickers where Western Airlines destinations were highlighted ("look north to Seattle", etc.) It was a very cool place.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04665868283705504233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-17277552839145926242008-09-10T20:12:00.000-07:002008-09-10T20:12:00.000-07:00Tokyo Magic; I only went down to the lower level a...Tokyo Magic; I only went down to the lower level a couple of times. I do recall those large wire squares and metal floor and my knees are getting weak thinking about it! Don’t get me started about my “friends” that would rock the bucket on Eagles Flight!<BR/><BR/>Major; All “pre-six flags” MM stuff is good. I loved the Wizard and Trolls, funky early 70’s, but original and much better than the Warner Bros. Characters (yawn)…<BR/><BR/>Dave: 30 Years, you were minus 1 when you last went? LOL! You gotta see the place; it’s actually looking pretty good now. Your new digital camera would get some fine photos for you…<BR/><BR/>Yellows; Oh man, you are trying to scare me huh? The most difficult part of visiting the tower IS the elevator ride. For those that don’t know its glass or open or something scary that you can see outside from. (Sweat beads are forming on my forehead recalling the ride).Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-90235550512838888592008-09-10T15:08:00.000-07:002008-09-10T15:08:00.000-07:00I was a ride operator on the Sky Tower during my j...I was a ride operator on the Sky Tower during my junior year in high school. The crew was small, since the only real position was running the elevator. A fun thing to do was direct guests to look down between the elevator door and the floor as they stepped out onto the top level. Like peering between the floor plates, it gave a sense of the tower's height that you really couldn't get from walking around up there.Yellowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01336098707487940056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-88431587865091454552008-09-10T08:35:00.000-07:002008-09-10T08:35:00.000-07:00These photos look vaguely familiar - ha!

I also remember the lower floor was not carpeted like the upstairs and that it was made of large metal plates that didn't quite come together perfectly tight, so there were cracks between these plates that you could peer through all the way down to the ground. You had to kneel on the floor to do this, but it was just one of those things we would do...even though it would creep us out!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.com
