I thought I heard that a LIM caught on fire when I was there March 2019. Might’ve been, like, a Bus Driver Rumor though.
On-car audio would be welcome but I’m certainly not holding my breath. Also a better narration.
Really wish they didn’t seal off the SM queue. That was my favorite part of the ride. Honestly the obsession with making SM as dark as possible was severely detrimental to its quality imo.
Also, I don’t buy that it’s by any means hard to maintain because of its age. LIMs aren’t exactly advanced or obscure tech.

Like most I love the PeopleMover - and I always remember when my daughter was little she would say “I want to ride on the train with no driver“.

Mine called it baby space bc she was too small to ride space mountian and we would circle while the rest of the family rode the coaster. We all still call it baby space and we miss it!

Sound likes the trains at airports which don’t have drivers

Sure missed this on my visit last week.

 

[aladdin2007]

every time they extend this I am more convinced its not coming back anytime soon or if ever for that matter, I know others have said otherwise but really starting to wonder. Tomorrowland is just a mess.

Trust me, it would be a bigger problem for them to try to get rid of it.

I’m bummed it keeps getting delayed, but I am glad it’s getting refurbed. It needs it. Especially since WDW seems to avoid actually refurbishing their attractions while it’s standard practice at DLR. That means that they don’t want to keep running the ride into the ground and want it to last. It’s a fan favorite, and the merchandise they’ve made in recent memory seems to indicate that they know that.

Exactly. How long have those tracks sat empty and have fans complained about it? You’re literally greeted by an abandoned attraction at the entrance to DLR’s Tomorrowland. It’s more of a hassle for Disney to remove those tracks or build them from scratch...of course, they wouldn’t have to do that if they hadn’t dropped the ball so hard with Rocket Rods. They should have just maintained the Peoplemover.

Thankfully Paul Pressler is no longer making any calls for the parks.

The TTA got a rename for a very good reason.

Disneyland’s track removal has consistently been deferred since the Incredibles overlay was scrapped.

since the Incredibles overlay was scrapped.

How would that work? Now I’m curious...how do you pull off an Incredibles people mover? I’d imagine it wouldn’t be like the TRON sorta overlay.

I’ve got some art at home if no one beats me to it. Remind me.
