| Title | Skyride, an amusement ride at the Century 21 Exposition, 1962 |
| Photographer | Unknown |
| Date | 1962 |
| Notes | The Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair.
Also known as the Union 76 Skyride.
"The Skyride, which starts in the amusement zone, ends in the International Mall on the other side of the Fairgrounds. It is something more than the typical midway ride. Cables strung 60 and more feet above the ground carry bucket-like cars, with capacities of three persons, on a 1, 400 foot sky ride. The passengers see the fair below them." (Century 21 Exposition. (1962). Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 115)
