Peoplemover question

Since it's Wikipedia, I'm doubting it until I can find some info to prove it's true. Any help?

Also, can anyone point me to a pic of the Peoplemover in 1995?

Have you tried Yesterdayland.com for pics?

Anyone know where I can find a good timeline from 2000-2007? The one I found just kept mentioning Simpsons episodes that reference Disneyland. Whatever.

Of all the inane things!
The most that happened in August 1995 was that the Peoplemover broke down .. and management didn't bother to fix it .. since it was due to close toward the end of the year, anyway, .. to get ready for TL98 construction.

(Nor yet 500 billion. See, I can't keep my zeroes right either, though post #8 does feature precisely 3 too many.)

Not true

I happen to be there the last day the PM ran. CM's stood at the btm telling people it was it's last day and would be closing forever the next day. So by pure luck I was able to take the last trip on PM.

Thanks everyone for the info. I didn't see this thread until just now (lost in the mix). I did really great on my presentation, but my conclusion was weak, so it was my lowest scoring speech of the semester (94).

I'm going to copy all the info so I have it stored on my computer for another time and date.
