Can anyone speak on why PM is still down? Is is a sanitation issue because it is consistently moving?

There are at least half a dozen other attractions around WDW that are constantly moving and have reopened.

CONJECTURE: Disney got sued in April over a collision on the PeopleMover from 2018. In addition, there was a pretty significant crash at the end of February. The thing is, the peoplemover crashes all the time. I’m guessing they’re trying to make a permanent fix, and until they are satisfied with its safety, it won’t reopen.

pretty significant crash at the end of February.

IIRC, that "pretty significant crash" back in February was nothing more than two trains lightly bumping into each other.

Are you referring to the rug burn that happened?

That paint job is disgusting.

That paint job is disgusting.

Now that this Tomorrowland overhaul is really just turning out to be a bunch of paint over 90's TL, it's becoming more disappointing by the day. Especially since you know it's not going to get better because of the ongoing ~situation~ in the world right now.

Maybe the new paint is like the camouflage they use to disguise prototype cars as they test in public before production. Under that paint there may be entirely new attractions we didn’t even see coming!

How Automakers Use a WWI-Era Camo Technique to Disguise Prototype Cars

In the early days of modern warfare, ships protected themselves from German U-boats with wild, eye-catching painted patterns called dazzle. The military moved on to new forms of camo decades ago, but for carmakers, dazzle is still the best way to protect prototype cars from being photographed.

Completely conjecture, but I can't imagine the attraction being mothballed so quickly - then being left for so long sitting in the elements - could have been good for the nearly 50-year-old technology. Between the proximity sensors that activate the induction plates, the LIM points themselves, and the attendant systems in the ride vehicles, I can't imagine sitting in the elements unused (and therefore untested and unrepaired) could have been good for an aging system.

But without my Tangrams, how am I gonna learn about spatial relationships?:

Next they'll paint the walls a solid green or blue and rent it out to local independent film makers. Should help fund a new churro stand to replace Carrousel of Progress.

Maybe they're getting confused with Disneyland.

At least THAT had the excuse that it was the 80's . . . no one seemed to know any better back then:

I know. Things were so hopeful when I started this thread. Four years later we get a big box and a mostly mismatched thematically damaging paint job.

I guess there ain't any chance of TRON upgrades to the Speedway now, eh?
