Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover closing for short refurbishment in December

[lnsemsf]

These dates come direct from Disney and are subject to change. This is one of many newly published refurbishments and I want to get the information out there for all planning their trips.

The Peoplemover will be closed December 7-10th, reopening on Dec 11th, 2015.

Wonder what the aim to accomplish in the short amount of time especially after it was down all last summer.

Would it kill them to just bring back the TTA Blue line audio again I need me some chiming..

Gotta be ride control stuff.

no, as in, that is about the only thing TDO can do in 5 days for TTA

Even paint would be a stretch for an attraction this size (both height and length). I'm guessing just some very basic maintenance or ride control updates.

maybe fix the continually breaking down escalator belt going up?

Agreed, this one and Space. Both were down in July.

Likely it's not a refurb but they want to use the track for Christmas Day parade filming of the hub.

Also I know that if the ride stop spiel goes off during any takes, they usually do a reshoot because of the audio.

That seems a bit strange to me. Aren't there metal bars along the track and the Tomorrowland sign in the FOV of the hub from the track?

It wasn't working Sunday. Down worked though.

Yes the track is double barred. But the growing number of track stoppages it may be better to have no activity to prevent the ride stop spiel during filming. And thus prevent a growing number of retakes.

Again secondly the track area maybe wanted for filming and tripods.

The majority of down times on the TtA are guest caused ... If those ppl got in and out of a car like a normal person the station would not have to stop

Um...that doesn't make sense. The UP ramp was not moving. In fact, it was covered in a lovely layer of leaves and dirt and it looked like it hadn't moved in awhile. The UP ramp would not be impacted by people exiting the attraction. And in fact, the DOWN ramp worked just fine. (Where people DO exit.)

Maybe to make it more 2010's than 70's which would really suck lol

That was my daughter, it was her first time on SM.

The Peoplemover ramps seem dangerous when not moving. SM is just annoying and makes you appreciate them so much more.

They're installing a churro cart at the top - free churros for the ride!








I can dream, cant I?!
