The video sucks, you know why? It makes me so disappointed in Disney for removing this attraction. It's even more a slap in the face that there's nothing there now!

With 1200 names now on the list I'm going to be breaking out the pen and hand-writing letters to those in charge. Going to try to tie in all the attractions it went thru from ATIS/Star Tours all the way around to Circle-Vision/Buzz... Not sure how it will all play out yet but I'm going for the creative [and hand written] aspect so maybe that will catch someones attention. With the subs coming back it is well past time to get the PM back up on the tracks!

While it's great there's 1200 names, it's also sort of sad. Millions of people visit the park which means 1200 is not even one percent of that. Makes me wonder how many "tourists" really don't care.

That also could be more an issue of the fact that we only reach out to a small percentage of park visitors... those who read Disney blogs/forums...

Just signed, number 1452.
I've seen it mentioned multiple times that the Peoplemover would be awesome, but they really need to do something/anything with the track. It was really a unique and joyful experience to be up there, whether on the Peoplemover or the Rocket Rods.

Hi folks. As a life-long visitor and supporter of DL I gotta say that the Peoplemover was/is one ofmy all-time favorites. It's always heartbraking to see something you love get taken away, especially when there's nothing there to replace it. While I think the Rocket Rods left ALOT to be desired I still think there's so much more that could've been done with te original. 1) Speed up the track! This is not too impractical if you've ever been on WDW's Peoplemover/TTA. 2) A little more scenery on the inside track. It always irked me that so much of the track went through bare, empty tunnels between the ride buildings. 3) Stremline the cars themselves. I know it would be expensive but one of the main reasons people, especially kids, love to ride these things is because they look cool. Well, that's just a few suggestions, I've got lots more but I don't want to take up anymore space. Until next time, peace.
