    I haven't heard anything about that at all-and I got a "random" email from mom and dad on vacation; they were at a train museum and someone on their tour told them all this Ward Kimball trivia- Disneyland, etc..then he went on about this "people mover" train coming to DCA.
    I thought this was nuts..but where else can I go but to my LP buddies to get the straight answer!
    Thanks!

    Right now, nobody believes any changes to Condor Flats are imminent. Maybe later in the next decade. After the current Paradise Pier / Little Mermaid / Buena Vista Street / Cars Land improvements are complete. Not before then. But even then, the train is probably a pipe dream.

    There is a rail attraction in the current plans. The Red Cars that will wend their way through Hollywood and the new entry are track bound.
