TL is such a bore today that the tour would be less interesting--especially considering the views into Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear have been walled up. A new PM would have to be part of a new exciting Tomorrowland otherwise it would be ho-hum and a waste of money.
Originally Posted By Dyznydad Peoplemover was never meant to be a "thrill" attraction, and never should be. Why do people ride Storybook Land? Or the Mark Twain? It's a break from the mad pace of the day. A casual, intimate moment. Why does everything in Tomorrowland have to be a thrill ride? If the future is nothing but speed and noise, I'm not sure I want to visit it. The positives of the Peoplemover outweigh the negatives. You sat in a vehicle with just your loved ones. No annoyingly loud conversations behind your head. You had a "second story" view of Tomorrowland. Aside from the closed Disney Gallery, and the exclusive Club 33, this was an amazingly sweet treat. Finally, in a design sense, it added movement to Tomorrowland. I know this might sound trivial, but the Imagineers designed Tomorrowland to have constant movement; the Subs passing by, the Peoplemover moving over your head, the Monorail swooping past. It was like a massive, futuristic toy train set.

However, I really enjoy Storybook and the Mark Twain for exactly the reasons you have provided-it is a nice break from the rides that provide constant stimulation. I really like the thrill rides but it is the variation of attractions that makes Disneyland special. I also like the idea of being above everything and looking down.

Originally Posted By Moon Waffle To me the nicest thing about the Peoplemover (and the Skyway too for that matter) was that these rides gave you a chance to get off of your feet and relax for a while.

In its final years not many people rode the thing, and I do agree that bringing it back is the wrong move. TL desperatly needs something new and fresh up on those tracks. And no, I don't have any ideas. All I know is that I wouldn't want a re-hash of something from years ago...
Originally Posted By Kayoss The new 'Peoplemover' is coming folks. It's going to cost a bundle though... and a budget for the scale of ride they're considering is quite large. They did just spend a fortune on bringing back another TL ride from the dead. Sadly, we must wait further. But it should be worth it.

Originally Posted By DismayingObservation The lovely and talented Mr. Lutz seems to be hinting toward the return of something on the Peoplemover track. Here's the best part: He actually referred to it as "Peoplemover." As far as Wikipedia is concerned, take it from someone who wasted far too much time trying to keep Jimmy Wales' nuthouse clean: Take anything regarding pop culture with a whole lot of grains of salt. There are more vandals than good users, or so it seems. Better still, save your sanity and avoid that accursed site altogether. You'll thank me later.
