Disneyland's Skyway to Fantasyland and Skyway to Tomorrowland begin transporting guests across the park. Guests take off from a small Alpine chalet seated in gondolas in Fantasyland on their way to Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland guests pass over such attractions as the Richfield Autopia and the Goodyear PeopleMover on their way to Fantasyland. The Skyway was built by Von Roll, Ltd. based in Bern, Switzerland. When Walt Disney Imagineering bought the ride, it became the first Von Roll Type 101 aerial ropeway in the USA. (In 1959, Skyway riders will pass through the Matterhorn mountain when the Matterhorn bobsleds attraction is added!)
