| | Thanks for the compliment. I like to keep mental notes of things I've seen or heard about the parks. I guess it's the odd little things that stick out. Anyways, it wasn't a train.. As a hint, this form of transportation actually "landed" on Disney property. |

| Was it like a sky tram? This is good question!

| | Closer... Humh... Some other hints -- The inventer of this form of transportation was a Russian who immigrated to to America. The inventor had his company named after him, and they continue today to be a USA Defense contractor. |

| I cheated (again) and looked it up after Jake suggested something (turns out he was right). I'm gonna see if anyone else guesses it first though.

| | Hey, if Jake guessed it, then he should pick the next question. BTW: I really think this would have been an amazing experience to do, especially flying over the city and seeing Disneyland at night. |

| | Very good Mynde. In fact LA Airways was a commercial helicopter airline, which and had a heliport at Disneyland, and you could fly directly there from LAX. The helicopter, the Sikorsky S-61 could carry a combination of 30 passangers/crew. Unfortunately, two very tragic accidents occurred in 1968, one from Disneyland Heliport to LAX and one from LAX to the Disneyland heliport. A total of 44 people in the two accidents. A very nice site about the Disneyland Heliport can be seen at: www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_OrangeCo_NW.htm |
