Ideas for best transport solutions from back of Epcot to front of Epcot

I’m not sure I fully understand the question because the obvious answer is “build a walking path outside the park”. Doing some sort of significant transportation for such a short distance seems like a colossal waste of money.

That could work but there's a lot of backstage things going on...they would probably need to segment it out separately and make it nice, not just backstagey

That was my thought. They could eliminate the need for a park admission, and cut the walking distance in half with a sidewalk. It would also allow easy access to the BC/BW area and it's attractions from other resorts. You could take a bus to Epcot, and then walk.

Half? I'm not so sure. Maybe slightly shorter. It would follow the Avenue of the Stars closer to the Int'l Gateway then the edge of a waterway, likely with some nice fencing and hedges and empty into the edge of the bus depot where there is already a walkway. Inside the park, the shorter route is a little bit longer but not by much.

I can’t think of something they’d be LESS likely to spend a penny on…except for enough ride capacity to comfortably fit the paying customers - of course

…Brazil….CONFIRMED!!

It’s About the same distance as pop century to Caribbean Beach skyliner to skyliner.

If it was me, I’d build 2 peoplemover lines at the same time, they would share right of way and maintenance facilities. One would take you from the entrance to international gateway, outside of park to outside of park. The other would take you from inside the entrance to the area around the Millenium Pavilion- ideally it would continue to the area between Italy and Germany as well.

They already have the people mover system they designed for that area in place

OK, not half. It is about 3,500 feet the short way vs. 4,500 through the park. However if you are trying to do this during a time when the park is crowded, then the time to take the dedicated walking path is likely much shorter.

I can agree with the argument that WDW isn't going to spend money to build a Skyliner extension to the other end of the park. But if "fans" (I hate that term but it's the best I got) can encourage a walkway as was the case between GF and MK, maybe they can make it happen.
