Rocket Rods

Post by borjoyzee » Apr Wed 27, 2005 11:07 am

Does anyone have a picture of Rocket rods?

I want to see what that ride looked like, since I only seen it being tested.

I know that ride was crap but I am curious.
Love Tomorrowland and Adventureland, but hard to decide to which one is best.

I don't remember much about the people mover since I was 7 when they took them out. I thought Rocket rods were ok, they could be great if they had the budget. Now I support just about anything up there, because it looks so bare without movement up there.

They should put up a revamped People mover. But they have to keep the Tron thing.

I thought they were planning on a new version of the Peoplemover.

Nothing is official yet.. Maybe on the 5th there will be a surprise announcement, but who knows.

Most of what you have read has a decent dose of wishful thinking included in the stories. Hopefully wishes can come true. :)

According to Al Lutz at miceage he says that the people mover can have a possible comeback durring the 50th. It could happen, but I have my doubts. Plus in the same article he said that the astro orbitor would go back up top.

Hahaha oooh. You mean they've just realized what all the fans have been saying all along? Just looks to the stars, and make a wish!

They were trying to get it to look like the Paris park. They have a cool one. You get launched from the outside and go in from the top, (based off of Le Voyage Dans la Lune)
