Hi,
It's here: Delta Flyer / Eagle's Flight.
There are lots of vintage photos in the accompanying photo album (linked from the page linked above) that show more than just Delta Flyer / Eagle's Flight. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the feedback!
Actually, Disney's skyrides remained in service until much later. The one in Florida closed on 9 November 1999 -- fifteen years after Gurnee's Delta Flyer / Eagle's Flight was closed. And of course, Santa Clara's Delta Flyer / Eagle's Flight is still going strong today -- twenty-four years after the demise of the Gurnee version.

Steven,
In one of the photos there's a small portion of the Fiddler's Fling sign in Gurnee. Did Fiddler's in Gurnee at one point have a completely different sign than the one it has today and do you have a better shot of that sign? It looks like it's on it's own posts instead of being bolted to the queue house.
Great to see an update here and I love the photos!

From what I remember there used to be a set of posts with the words "Fiddler's Fling" on them (I think the words were arranged vertically...along with a couple of notes...)jonrev wrote:Steven,

This has always been one of my favorite flats at GA...
Thanks, Jonrev!
About the Fiddler's Fling sign, there was one on a kind of spiral structure made up of wooden posts. I don't have a good photo of it at either park at the moment. In this photo, you can see most of it at Santa Clara below the blue cabin number 12. Gurnee had the same thing, although the positioning could have been slightly different.
