I’m not following the Tron project, but I could actually see this happening. Doesn’t seem far-fetched.

My new, never-satisfied fan complaint:
If they bring back People Mover, they need to clean up and beautify Tomorrowland! Who wants a tour of a deteriorating, depressing dystopia?
It'll also only be worth it if they improve the ride system. Unlike WDW's, Disneyland's People Mover appears to have been clunky AF.

Yep, Autopia's likely on the way out. There is a long-standing rumor that Disney has been WAITING to get any excuse to bulldoze it and the Submarines. Martin even explicitly stated the pre-pandemic Tomorrowland revamp had those rides get kabashed.

Obviously Martin is wrong again since they just refurbished the subs and the Autopia is on the roof of the sub's show building. He really needs better sources.

What you need to realize is that plans change all the time. Just because some plan was purposed back a couple years ago doesn't mean that same plan is moving forward today. So you need to take any rumor with a huge truck load of salt.

Key wording is pre-pandemic. Plans changed, as they do all the time.
If they didn't we'd have Lightyear Mountain by now.

This thought came to me while researching Finnair flights from LAX on a potential trip to Finland (don't ask)... did Disney never copyright the word "PeopleMover"??? WDI did invent that word, didn't they?
But now, it gets used for any automated transit system around. Usually at airports. Probably because WDI actually built a couple systems at airports in the 1970's.
LAX is getting ready to open their new "People Mover", and somewhere back in 1967 a Disney lawyer is slapping themselves on the head for not copyrighting that term.
Instead of being the Ambassador to India, Mayor Garcetti is now reduced to narrating the LAX "People Mover" debut.

I think they figured that out at some point before 1971, since the Florida version opened up as “The Wedway Peoplemover.”

There is no guarantee any formal announcement will be made at D23. Concept work like this can be very fluid and decisions to remove portions of the announcement, or cut it altogether, can be made right up until the day-of. A lot can change between now and September that might end up causing the project to be cancelled altogether.
We won't know until D-23. And maybe not even then.

Disney does own a registered trademark for Peoplemover (and People Mover from 1967 up until its expiration in 2016, but it's still listed as a psuedo mark on the Peoplemover trademark page).

Disney sold WED Transportation Systems’ technology to Bombardier Transportation (now Alstom) decades ago.
The space between space mountain and Cop, with the train tracks running through it, looks oddly similar in shape and size to the planned HK avengers ride spot. Not saying they would or should do an avengers ride there but the over all facade and art direction of the HK concept are would look really cool in that space. Imagine a new SM concealed behind that facade and using the old SM building as an indoor tron themed area for a newer speedway expansion that goes under the main pathway into the building.
