As of today, the PeopleMover is back in Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom!

As most people are saying in the blog's comment's section, The PeopleMover really needs to come back to Disneyland.

Heck, for all we know, WDI could very well be planning for the PeopleMover's return to Disneyland.

I heard the structure was too weakened after the Rocket Rods debacle. But I've heard that rumor tossed around quite a bit of PeopleMover returning to DLR.


RIP Bud Hurlbut.

You will be missed.

Great. Another classic I can't see anymore. But the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover? Trying to cover bases with fans of both I see....

Saves on painting new signs. Just slap the PeopleMover signs up beside the TTA signs. No need to even reprint the maps.

With enough of a budget I'm sure that can be fixed.

That's what the Imagineers said about Rocket Rods....

That is also the time when Paul Pressler and Cynthia Harris were running the parks. They are gone now, so is Micheal Eisner...

The management is different now. These days they are working to correct past mistakes.

For example, Disney California Adventure is receiving the 12-acre Cars Land, a new-entrance, and a Little Mermaid ride.

Not to mention that John Lasseter is principal creative adviser at WDI.

If they could bring the PeopleMover back to Disneyland, then Tomorrowland would finally be "complete" again. No more vacant spaces at least.

Though I wouldn't mind seeing the buildings for Innoventions, Pizza Port, and the Starcade be put to better use.

On the management comment: Wish that were true.

The "New entrance" is the exact layout, top to bottom, as Disney's MGM Studios/Hollywood Studios. Cars Land is the most original thing I've seen come from them since Indy Adventure. The rest of the attractions just seem to be "Oh, this ride works amazing here, let's put it everywhere else, but we'll change one or two things and hope no one notices"

That rumor has been tossed around for years. There is no confirmation if it is true, like the disappearance of the Tomorrowland Rocks and the Astro Orbitor returning to back it to where it belongs on top of Tomorrowland Terrace.


Attractions:
Rocket Scientist at "HISTA"/ Astro Orbitor,
Space Ranger at Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
