People here have been talking about it but what exactly is it? Is it a ride? I've never been on it?

Tomorrowland Transit Authority?
- Thread starter cuteypatooty78
- Start date
If I'm not mistaken, it used to be called the Wedway People Mover. It is a short above ground tour of Tomorrowland. For me, the highlight to this is going through Space Mountain and seeing it from a different perspective. It is a nice quiet ride. Good place to go for a rest.
It's a ride. It's basically a set of open cars on a track that travels above Tommarrowland. It's a slow ride, but very cool. The view is awesome and it's a very relaxing ride that gives you a brief look and several rides in tomarrowland as it passes thru them. Check it out. I think it's still called the People Mover at Disneyland if that helps.
Oh I see, I remember the people mover but had never ridden it. One question, how do they show you the inside of Space Mountain if its so dark inside? They can't turn on the lights or it would ruin the experience for the people riding it. I know dumb question but just wondering.

yes, it used to be called the WEDway people mover. It is a pretty cool ride. It does go through space mountain. keep an eye out to the right to see the cars on the track. its dark, so look for the glowing on the cars. Also, it gives you a little tour of tomorrowland. I think its good too because it moves at a pretty good clip and allows you cool off a little bit on hot days. you can also get some really great pics of cinderella's castle also. if i think of anything more, ill reply again!

One last question? I am in a wheelchair and unable to walk at all...usually a family member has to help lift me from my chair and on to a ride...would this be an easy ride for me to get onto?

Hrrmmm, TTA has an upward angled conveyer belt type thing to get you to the loading area, it's like an escalator, except no steps, it's flat. So unless you could get off the wheelchair down below and be supported all the way up, I'm not sure how convenient it might be for ya, as there is no elevator access

how long has this ride been there?
i don't recall it from my last trip back in 1990 ( although i could be mistaken! )

The TTA is an original attraction in the Magic Kingdom. It's name was changed to the TTA (Tomorrowland Transit Authority) when the new Tomorrowland (The Future That Never Was Is Here Now) opened. There are 2 lines, the blue line, which is a scenic circle tour or Tomorrowland, and the red line, which is commuter access to offworld locations. We can only travel on the blue line however. Before the remodel of Tomorrowland, the TTA was the WEDway PeopleMover.

That my friends is the ultimate question... They actually pulled 3 attractions for Rocket Rods... Circlevision, Mission to Mars, and the PeopleMover. Tomorrowland is the land of Space Mountain and the Astro-Orbiter. WDW TL is definately the better of the 2 U.S. locations right now.

Actually, I hope they never do ANYTHING to TTA...it's one of the best rides in the park. There is practically never a line, you get a great overview of Tomorrowland, it's a great place to rest and cool off for a few minutes, and it's a long enough ride to truly recharge the batteries on a hot day! :animwink:

It may be dark in the ride but you can see pretty well in there.
GO AV"S!:sohappy:
I assume the "offworld" locations you mention are part of the show theme only, not really another physical entity going out to the CM parking lots or something? But wouldn't it be super cool if they did actually run this system around the world - WDW, that is. You would never have to wait for a bus or monorail, just hop on, hop off!

The TTA is a relaxing, slow moving ride that gives you a very nice detailed tour of Tommorowland. you go past SpaceMountain, Alien Encounter, Buzz Lightyear...ect
