If Disneyland brought back People Mover or Skyway, how would you feel?

[Funball]

i'm not saying that this would ever happen, but what if? i think it be cool, i loved the people mover! and oh and by the way i refer to the disneyland here in california not WDW,but if you have experience with PM in WDW that is welcome also!


p.s. i added a poll!!

Loved the SkyWay but PM was...well...boring. PM will come back to DLR this decade (probably in the the next 5 years) but SkyWay will never come back.

I would love the PM to come back, TTA(tomorrowland tranist authority) at WDW is a must ride for us. It's not one of the most "exciting" rides, but it is always a walk on and it gets us off our feet for 10 minutes. It makes for a nice mid day break.

I was recently watching a Disneyland vacation video from 1991 and saw so many extinct things. I would love for them to come back. But for me it is more about the nostalgia and memories linked to them. If I were to ride the old People Mover for the first time today, I wouldn't be too impressed.

Not only would I love that but would also welcome back, with open arms, the Country Bear Jamboree and CoP.

Both were always must do's for us and the People Mover still is at WDW.

Skyway no, too many of the tops of buildings in Fantasyland. People mover or somthing along it's track yes please. Just do do something with the track.

I really liked PM and would love to have it back..(wasn't there some discussion awhile back on how this couldn't happen because of regulations about clearance or something that the old PM was grandfathered in, but now that it was gone, no go?) I remember riding the Skyway..it gave me the willies even back then as a kid, so probably would not ride even if it came back. Now..I did get a kick out of the flying saucers and it looks the upgraded version will be in Carsland hopefully (as a tire ride)

(old goober moment) I remember when the PM had quite a line. Sure do miss it though. (old googer moment over)

Love the PM, TTA is a daily must ride at MK. I don't think the skyway will ever return and am OK with that.

..and what you just said is why I posted this thread, and a poll!, and any thread that asks what certain a member wants back always seem to be—PM! So that is why I wanted to put a thread out that asked everyone opinions, thoughts and feelings on IF Disney did bring anyone or both back to Disneyland California. I think the one ride that Disney could benefit from right now is PM. It would draw more people into the park, and maybe take away some guests from the Nemo line(ii hate that line with a passion).

im partial to SKyway, i rode it once, i was VERY little, but i remember PM much more.

We used to ride the People Move when we got too hot. We could sit and rest and it went through the air conditioned buildings. We loved PM!

 

[TechGuy]

I liked the PeopleMover. Especially the microscope section. It was a nice 10 minute sit with things to look at.

The Rocket Rods (that I rode on a soft open) were boring. The RocketRods seemed to be in "fail" mode every other time we saw them. I even saw people walking off the ride on the concrete path the cars rode on.

I assume the Skyway were the buckets overhead. I think the biggest challenge with that was the fools that dropped stuff (or spit) onto unsuspecting guests below.

I voted for the Peoplemover.

Sure, it wasn't a "thrill" ride, but it was so nice to just SIT and be taken around through Tomorrowland...especially in the summer, when it went through all the air conditioned show buildings. I remember as a kid bringing a portable tape recorder to catch the cheezy music & spiel for posterity. (I was an odd kid)

There needs to be something moving on those tracks again. It's sad to see them just sort of there, collecting dust/fallen leaves.

You don't want to know what when on in the Skyway on Grad Nights!

Was the people mover the one that "shrunk" you? If it was that ride scared me more then anything when I was little. I really thought we were shrunk!

The shrinking ride was Adventure Thru Inner Space; the Peoplemover track went through it. I was terrified of it the first time I went on it, too. That and Mission to Mars.

I think if disney want's a skyway like ride again. It would of gone in DCA, because it's a ride that could bridge the theming of PP and GRR in the Golden State area.


Of corse now the period of PP predates gondolas and chairlifts.

I have fond memories of both of them and would love to have them brought back. I think it's kind of sad that some may think that the PM was not exciting enough; not all rides have to be scarey or action packed for me to enjoy them. Some people may simply enjoy a moment to sit back and enjoy the view for a few moments. And some of us may enjoy it for the nostalgia. But I think it would go over well if they did bring it back. I know Disneyland is sopposed to keep changing but I am one of those who also gets a little sad when we lose something.

 

[tiffntwins]

I miss both. Quite often as I pass under the PM tracks, I wish it had never left.

Oh yes...that's right! Agh that big eyeball looking at you was sooo scary. I would like to see ATIS come back. It would be awesome with all the new special effects and technology Disney has now.
