Both are great to me, but I like underwater rides.

It would be so cool if they brought back the people movers!

They are currently working on the track for the People Mover... one of my friends came back and asked me what the track up there were, when I told him he said something like, "oh well they are walking along the tracks and doing something."

Why do I have a feeling it was something like weed spraying and not track work? Sigh...

I think that's a great guess!

I rode the monorail when I was out there last month, giving me a good view of some of the PeopleMover track. Didn't look to me as if any new ride system was being installed.

Besides the fact that we miss [Peoplemover] and Disney shouldn't have replaced it with Rocket Rods. Even by today's standards something like the Peoplemover is futuristic. Sure, the drive technology could be improved. In fact, it has been at WDW, where it floats on a magnetic track (but is still pushed by tires).
But, it is still futuristic. If you look at movies as old as Logan's Run or newer ones like the Incredibles they have those exact type of things.

All they would need to do is make it all magnetic where it's as smooth as butter, transform them into some cool looking pod shaped things, air conditioning, strips of electrolumenicent tape on the sides, and maybe some LCD touch screen interactive facts about Tomorrowland which would produce repeat ride throughs. If I saw something like that moving around Tomorrowland I'd definatly see future.

It seems to me that Disney always needs to build Extreme stuff (Tower of Terror, Mission:Space) to keep their guests entertained. But when you look at POTC or HM those rides aren't extreme yet always yeild long lines. Disney needs to quit meeting expectations and start exceeding it. It takes money to make money.

-Hear, hear! 'Breaks my heart seeing that waste of space. Why did they take the Rocket Jets down from way up high? I think the people behind the decisions at WDI are the same folks that designed the remarkably efficient Los Angeles transit system (where's the sarcasm key?).

LA MTA is actually considered mass transit? [still waiting for some sarcasm icon here...] Well, whoever cut the Peoplemovers was inhaling a little too much exhaust on the freeways...
