I love PeopleMover at WDW too. I've missed it as DL. I too have fond memories of it and the Skyway going through the Mattahorn. I would absolutely love them both to make a comeback to DL.
At the D23 Destination D they had at Disneyland they talked about the People Mover track - safety laws have changed and in order to be in compliance the track would have to be widened (I can't remember how much) and they would have to install stairs along the track for an emergency exit.
Me too. I remember just being amazed and being so so so excited in line.
Last time I was in the Land I was told by a CM that T'land was going to be getting further work in the future including the Peoplemover, so I am still holding a bit of hope
