You're quoting a post from 7 months ago.

Is there a more current thread?

You're in it. It's been going on for a long time. Just skim the past two pages and you're caught up.

I’m referring to “now,” because it seemed like it was going to be open any day, then all of a sudden another month.

All addressed in the past two pages.

They are running RnRC, Slinky, Test Track and FoP with no dividers/spacing + full vehicles. It's unsafe but it is what it is.

In all the years that I travel to WDW, I have never seen them put more then one family per Peoplemover car. Even when traveling alone, every time I rode it I had the whole thing to myself.

Per "row" (aka the two benches facing each other) or per vehicle? If you are right up against another family in the same vehicle but in a different row, there's very limited social distancing.

I've been in TTA with me and my friend sharing a car with some random duo.

It’s happened to my brother and I as well. Not in the past two years or so. But we have had awkward small talk with people in our car before

You do realize they can just load every other car..like they do on the other omnimovers. Figuring out how to social distance the ride isn’t what’s delaying it.

People shouldn't complain about "ride crowding"... There's always some place worse:

 

[WondersOfLife]

Even before covid... It would take forever to get things fixed. Example. I was a supervisor on one of the attractions. Something was broken in my area so I had to submit an order to get it fixed. It has to go through a totem pole of people to get it approved. Once they did, turns out the manufacturer they used no longer existed. They had to shop around for someone new. Finally a little over 6 months later it was replaced. Sadly it took only about two weeks before another guest(s) broke it again.
But yes. Even the simplest things can take forever.

And that’s just so sad. It shouldn’t take so long.

Has that thing even run without orange cones in every other car for the last few years? Seems like they were ahead of their time on this.

I was talking about per vehicle. Since it is a (hopefully) continuously moving vehicle there is no reason to stuff people into one. And I never saw them do it. It was/is a popular attraction, but it never had around the block lines with long waits. When you think about it there really, in later years, was nothing to see, but was a nice place to take a break and rest the feet

And some things are fixed at once.
I remember in 2014 or so I was talking to a CM about the decline in show and he lightly defended the current state. I pointed out the bottom of a post in Liberty Square that had damage from ECVs running into it to the point wood was missing. He said "yeah I need to turn that in", next morning it was repaired! He was posted in that area at least 3 hours each day.
Maybe because I as a guest mentioned it but it was casual conversation.

Just curious, what increased PMs popularity? Seemed like over the last few years, pre covid, the long lines started. Was it the curiosity of the Tron construction? Then again I think the long lines started before Tron?

Lines have grown everywhere, with POTC, iasw, JC and HM being afflicted by FP and the train being down more then up, the Peoplemover is the only midday diversion ride with a realitively short queue.

The other midday diversions are all shows.

Yes.

Just because some people never experienced it doesn't mean it never happens.
