Skyway
The Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland Skyway opened in 1971 as a method to travel speedily between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. The attraction existed until the late 1990s, and the cause for its demise, like many Disney closures, is up for debate. Tomorrowland’s loading station, together with its pylons and cables, was not demolished until years later, despite the fact that it had been shut down.
The station at Fantasyland, on the other hand, lasted a few more years. Despite reports that it might be converted into an eatery, the station closed in 2011.

Tropical Serenade
On opening day in 1971, it was one of the principal shows, and was guaranteed to drive parents insane. The show featured over 150 mechanical birds, flowers, and tikis singing songs like “The Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Roon” and “Let’s All Sing Like the Birdies Sing,” which were hosted by two birds, Clyde and Claude. We aren’t so sure if such songs are considered peaceful serenades, but to each his own.
The show ended in 1997, and a new version dubbed “The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management)” took its place. Hopefully, Clyde and Claude were not dismissed and were able to get a chorus part.
