The Official Peoplemover Rumor Thread!

Space_Mt. · 06-19-2005, 10:01 PM

Talk about some or all the rumors concerning The Peoplemover here!

DisneyResurrection · 06-21-2005, 09:37 PM

I have not heard anything but if they bring back the "in the sky" people mover I hope they make it all enclosed. I think one reason they took out the old mover was that people were being spit on from above and spilling drinks on people too. I think they should build it with closed windows and air vents or forget it. I remember going to Disneyland when it was still in operation and looking up "just in case" when walking under it and I was only 10 years old at the time. Disneyland should offer clear bottom helicopter rides with ariel views of the parks instead.

i think you mean the skyway..... peoplemovers were the omnimover bubbles that were replaced by rocket rods. Skyway was closed down due to safety issues from what Ive been able to gather.

Mickey Man · 06-22-2005, 12:34 AM

I have not heard anything but I just dont see why they wouldnt bring it back. obviously everyone wants it and nuthing is taking that spot unless they have different plans for it not yet released

There will be something on that track. I could see that when walking through a certain ride *whistles* that the track there was newly refurb'ed. As to what will be there, no one knows... ;o)

Stephen · 06-26-2005, 01:28 PM

So... does anyone know anything else about the peoplemover other than it was removed in 1995 and replaced by rocket rods, and may come back as TTA? And bty, the skyway closed because it cost too much for safety upgrades, because Great America has them, and so does the Boardwalk.

PeoplemoverMatt · 06-27-2005, 02:46 AM

We know many things about the Peoplemover, what would you like to find out?

If it's going to come back? And if it's going to look the same as before, because I have a few ideas for cars.

^^What? I don't remember Sea World having PeopleMovers...??

Shay · 06-27-2005, 03:15 PM

Sorry I wasn't referring to Peoplemovers but the Skyway system. Sea World has a pay-per-ride Skyway taking riders over scenic Mission Bay.

As for if it's going to comeback, Disneyland insider Al Lutz has noted in his columns that projects are in the works and were going to be submitted for approval. When and if they are, believe me the word will break out right here on VF, so stay tuned!

However there has been nothing to say that it will come back as TTA.

Ain't that the truth. Thanks PeoplemoverMatt for the info and updates on this. To see it operating again would be a great site.

Stephen · 06-29-2005, 10:48 PM

I've only seen the skyway buckets in the premier shop in like 2003 or 2004.
I have a few ideas for a new superspeed tunnel:

1. Use neon lights that blink in a pattern to make it look like you're going really fast next to a bunch of lights.

2. give sudden jolts on the track from time to time to give the feel as if you're going fast on a track.

3. blow air! it will give more effect.

4. play sound effects that sound like the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) trains when they're at full speed.

5. tilt the track downward to make it seem as if you were going slightly forward as if accelerating in the car.

another idea for just the general, is just like a cabel car system where a little cable pulls the car along the track. it'll save alot of money on motors.

Piglet · 07-07-2005, 01:21 PM

I'm going to direct this one at Matt: If the People Mover does come back, where will the queing are be? Didn't they use the old one to make the Buzz Lightyear ride??

Stephen · 07-07-2005, 01:31 PM

No. They turned it into a radio-disney booth (now extinct) and you'd go up and wait on little moving paths and it would guide you to the car to get in, and since (from what I know) the PeopleMover never stopped, you'd step into the car while on the moving platform.
