We've been at MK twice this week and both times the WEDWay seemed to be experiencing a lot of technical issues. Multiple ride stoppages and even an evac. Usually it's a pretty reliable ride so this was surprising. Anyone have any info?
This....Plausible, though in my experience the ride gets stopped frequently for disabled guests to board and exit as well as idiots standing up constantly.
They can handle it just fine. What it comes down to is improper time given for upkeep and Maintenance.Maybe at some point WDW needs to say they can't reasonably accommodate guests who need to transfer...to avoid undue wear and tear on the ride drive mechanisms. Omnimovers weren't designed to stop-and-start, and neither were the peoplemover cars -- speed up and slow down, yes, but stopping and starting messes up the timing on the cars right behind.

It's actually an electromagnetic train. And yes constant on and off could have negative (no pun intended) affect on it.

It's a sad statement to make, but I'm pretty sure one day the peoplemover will end up like disneyland's peoplemover. AKA gone.

Didn't the one in Disneyland operate differently than the one in Disney World does?I seriously doubt that, actually. It does not cost much to keep this ride open for Disney.
Yes it used rotating wheels and motors, I believe. @marni1971 would definitely be able to be more specific on it.Didn't the one in Disneyland operate differently than the one in Disney World does?
