I think bringing back the peoplemover would be a huge mistake on the scale of light magic or rocket rods and would seriously put a huge dent in the credibility of Disney. Let the past stay the past. Tomorrowland should be about the future.

Something new with a better budget then Rocket Rods would be nice. Tomorrowland has lost the kenetic feel. Even if you didn't ride the people mover or rocket jets it still added to your experience in Tomorrowland. When you used to walk into Tomorrowland you would see movement everywhere (subs, monorail, people mover, rocket jets). I'll wait till the official announcement before I get my hopes up though.

It's just a matter of 'when' their return will be announced. Supposely the new vehicles will be remincent of the original ones--with a slightly more modern twist to their appearnce. We were overjoyed when we heard about this.

I'd love to see an updated version of the People Mover put up there, but show me the construction tarps and cranes, please... Then I'll be a happy girl.

It's funny how CM's get most of their information from Guests and other Disney Fans... pass that along, and all of a sudden it HAS to be true because it came from a CM. <<I really hope the peoplemover doesn't come back. I think that would be a big step backwards for Disney.>> Here here! I second this statement too. I miss the fun times I had back in H.S. and college, but I wouldn't want to return to those times again. Let's move on people. <<Someone whom my sisters and I trust implicitly has told us that the People Mover is a 'done deal' and that the designs for the new ride vehicles have already been approved. >> There were extensive plans done for Westcot too. And look what we have now where Westcot was reportedly being built. We all know that we should just wait for the official announcements.

Originally Posted By dresswhites every few monthes this rumor of the people mover's return comes up. when i see the people mover riding around the track, i will believe that the people mover is returning.
Originally Posted By nemopoppins I don't know, I think this is the closest to an actual possibility rumor about the Peoplemover that I have ever heard. That might not make sense. I'm trying to say that this time the evidence is better than ever before that the Peoplemover is a real possibility.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<this time the evidence is better than ever before that the Peoplemover is a real possibility.>> I still don't follow what you are saying. What evidence has their been which points to the possible return of _anything_?
Originally Posted By Roger55 The evidence being referred to CAN'T be the proverbial "CM told me" or the never fails "usually reliable source" can it??? LOL

Originally Posted By nemopoppins There is the evidence that there were people on the track. Yeah, that's happened before, but supposed painters were in areas of the track that are only visible from Peoplemover areas. It just seems that the construction work on the "stores" is rather extensive. Consider how much work was put into creating the Winners Circle store in the Submarine queue, or consider how very simple the Hatmosphere structure was, or how easy it was to make that pin store outside Buzz. And there are the rumors from different sources that do not seem to be the same rumor that traveled, and some rumors are from sources that some trustworthy LPers sort of trust. And, darn it, I WANT IT TO BE!
