What to do with the skyway stations?

The skyway stations are still hanging around, despite the fact that the skyway itself nolonger exists.

Sorry, but both stations have been demolished and their areas are being/have been repurposed.

Perhaps, Robo, you have a map showing where they used to be?

I remember them from long ago....was sad when they closed them

Yup... good times...

Well, now that you mention it...

I have the very first-ever "map" (map-LIKE, anyway) image that I ever made for posting here. It shows the old Fantasyland Skyway Station and its location relative to the Haunted Mansion and small world Ride Buildings.

Here's that approximate area on a much newer map.

Here's a shot of the (now demolished) Fantasyland Skyway Station

And, here's a shot showing the old Tomorrowland Skyway Station
(now demolished [see right side of bottom map] with a new restroom facility on its site)
located next to Space Mountain entrance.

Thanks for posting those -- been a long time since I've even thought about the Tomorrowland station...

Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree. The Tomorrowland Skyway Station building wasn't demolished. The upstairs and the Skyway Station portion closest to Space Mountain were removed. The remaining rest room portion of the building was refinished on the Skyway Station end, new single story roof added, with cladding to hide the roof from TTA riders, and the existing rest rooms were remodeled.
