News People mover now reopened!

[DoleWhipDrea]

Yeah I don't think it's actually structural, just using the term the other website used. Pillar?

Updates from sites that shall not be named, but a CM that has been part of the current training crew says that the PeopleMover has been running all day without any downtime, more CMs are steadily coming in for training, and the ride is on track for the May 1st opening date!

There’s also a mysterious black support that’s appeared underneath a part of the track.

ahh, nothing conjures up the ". . . " like "Oh, boy, we suddenly realized we needed to put a large support beam here, but everything's always been okay! Haha!"

The black support is to provide more power for the Rocket Rods ride vehicles.

The Black Monolith has always been there. It has chosen now to reveal itself. When you go to see the Black Monolith, stand in silence and you will hear it call to you. Slowly approach, close your eyes and put a flat palm on the Black Monolith. Then, you will understand.

That's the entrance of TT right? Wonder if there was a structural problem there?

Also very glad to hear! Spirit fingers...

Looks like walkway up to Tomorrowland terrace

Looks like a cable conduit to me. Maybe they had to run new control cables to the stators.

It's at the CM gate and path going backstage (on the left), near the Tomorrowland Terrace (on the right).

Put a fountain over it. No one will notice.

Disney doesn't do fountains any more. They'd just have to take it out.

Put a "planter" over it. No one will notice.

Pretend it doesn't exist.

Potted plants on wheels will make it disappear from view.

Ride was running non stop (no guest on board) yesterday and the day before. Hopefully it opens soon!

Hopefully. I’ll be there in May. “...and I came here JUST for THIS!”

Add a "behind the magic" tour to see it up close and charge $395 per person. Included will be viewing a video of the engineer drafting the plans for the monolith on CADD. But hey - kids under 3 are free!
