Is the Peoplemover moving sidewalk/ramp up to ride level working now?
I read an article that said it hasn't worked for this persons last three visits, but could find no date on it.

Worked the week of July 4th.

It’s hit or miss. If it gets really crowded, they turn it off (to avoid having a people-pile at the top).

That thing is great to stretch my calfs.

Thanks everyone! My Mom uses an ECV and loves this ride but can't walk "uphill" that far.
Maybe it will be working enough while we are there for her to enjoy it few times.

It was working when we were there in April.

Also, if you put your feet on the sides, there are rollers there and you get a free massage.

What happens is if there is any delay at the top they will shut the walkway down. They can't restart it without holding everyone at the bottom, and they just don't get around to it that quickly, especially if it's busy. So it appears "broken" all the time, but it's really not.

It was up and running each of the 6 times we rode it in June

If it's off, it won't be a straight shoot walking up the ramp - you'd take a few steps, stop, etc. Like a regular SB queue. At least that's what it was like when we were there last August.

They have something like that on the exit belt at POTC.

It was working in February.
What tends to happen though is when there's a back up they turn it off because otherwise where would anyone have to go once up at the top.
So I bet that's what the person you read about was experiencing.
