  • Come back peoplemover, come back.
  • I miss the People Mover. It was such a great attraction.
  • Yes....they were the best. Bring them back. :-)
  • Nothing was as fun as the People Mover. It was a sad day when it shut down.
  • It was a sad day when the People Mover was taken out. Nothing since has had the drawing power for the guests.
  • I heard they moved the carts to some airport in texas and use them for luggage.
  • there are some in the DLR R and D that they might bring back the people movers.... and possible extension to either fantasy land and main street
  • Are you serious about that W. Holloway??
  • yea i have a friend who's aunt works in the planning dprt. at the park
  • the one at Walt Disney world is still open and is very popular
  • To W. Holloway, do you know when they plan on bringing them back?
  • no idea the word is that DLR might do it during the TL refurb
  • Used to be one of the best rides to chill and wind down until stupid grad night kids had to show off and kill themselves. That sucked. Alot of cool rides are ruined by stupid people and lawyers. I remember back in the 80's when Tron was released and one section of People Mover was dedicated to the light cycle race in the movie. Oh well....still have memories.
  • I understand some safety issues around using the old people mover carts, but they need to find some way to bring the ride back. It was a great way to see many parts of the park. And to get a rest after walking around the park all day. Come on Disney, show some of that creativity and find a way to bring this ride back in one form or another. The one at WDW shows that the ride is still popular.
  • That's probably why disney decided to stop doing grad nite.
