A cable car approaches the Frontier Outpost landing in this 1973 postcard view. The skyway was removed after the 1980 season but both station houses are still there. One currently houses a restaurant known as the Outer Hanks in what is now known as the Carolina Boardwalk section. The other is a Nickelodeon Store in Nickelodeon Central. The photos on the right were taken in 1980, the last year of the cable skyway. Notice that the support columns were painted white in it's final years.
The Skyway heads towards the Queens Colony landing as it passes over the Carolina Sternwheeler and the Goldrusher and Monorail rides.
