| What Happened to the People Mover? Another ride question... (you can tell I'm lacking on my DL knowledge.) What happened to the People Mover? I know it went thru some updates, but in April there was no ride. Couldn't even see an entrance that even suggested a ride had been there. When was it removed? And, just in case you were a huge fan, I found an online petition to bring it back: Disneyland Peoplemover - Bring it Back Petition

| It's been gone for a really long time, hasn't it? I don't recall seeing it since the kids were born, and my oldest is 8! I could be wrong, but I think we would have gone on it if it was there - DH was so excited to take the People Mover in WDW, since he couldn't do it at DLR anymore.

| Yes its been gone a long time--- they updated it with a speedier version with new cars that rise up in the rear to simulate speed but heard someone got hurt and they scraped it and now its just empty... I wish they bring the People Mover back since it was nice to sit back and tour TL--- I guess I will sign the petition

 Now that there is nothing there and the "track" sits there empty, it really does make me miss it. Methinks I shall sign the petition as well . . . not that Disney always listens to those things, but it can't hurt to try, right?

| Zoie and I are probably some of the few people who really enjoyed Rocket Rods (and actually rode it a few times.). But I miss the people mover too! It's one of our must dos in Florida now so we can reminisce (sp?)... As for how long they've been gone, it's been a long time. Zoie was 5 when she loved Rocket Rods and she's 15 now! So, People Mover would have been gone for some time before that.

  OHHHH NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is awful! I went around three times in a row for extra magic hours last July. I got to view the special 4th of July fireworks from it. The breeze was blowing, the voice-over was like going back to childhood, the whole thing was so pleasant and relaxing. Here is a utube video for those who would like a memory!

| I just noticed that was Disneyland, not WDW. I hope they don't take it from WDW. I'm sorry you all out there lost your people mover.

| The People Mover closed for good in 1995. I loved riding it...nice and calm and a great little rest for those theme park feet!

| Yes, we love the People Mover and really miss it at DL - one of our favorite rides in Tomorrowland at WDW. BUT DL has the subs back but WDW paved them over. I wish they hadn't done that.

|  I thought I heard somewhere that the People Mover maybe back. But if we all sign something I bet someone one from Disney will get a clue. About Carousel of Progress I always enjoy seeing the pass becoming now. They could put the Star Trek (the Enterprise-E stuff) future in at the end so it wouldn't be dated to much.   I know it not Disney but Star Wars and the Muppets isn't either.

| I don't remember if we rode it on my 1987 visit with my parents or not. It's a shame it's not there any longer.
