You want a quick remedy for the People Mover Track?

....how about a parade up on the track? I'm thinking something along the lines of small world, only not as lame

You know certains times during the day a bunch of cars run down the track, all with cool animatronic stuff. Maybe interact with the crowd. Hell, stick the Abe animatron up there, he's just collecting dust.

So, what does everyone think of the idea? I know it's not the best, but at least you will know it's being put to some use until a more permanent attaction is found.

I say you add a second section to Star Tours... Pod Racing through Tomorrowland. LMAO.

[MckyCrzy]

sounds cool!!! Then everyone can see., because its above you!

[MickeyMan]

Great Idea Love it.

How about take a few old Peoplemover trains .. modify them to run on Rocket Rods' tubular rail .. and have the some characters do a "calvade" of sorts on that?

How could you call one of Walt's greatest masterpieces lame? I think we should put you up on the track and dress you up in one of those IASW outfits and laugh at you. Don't mess with Walt :-?

Okay, not to get into a whole debate here, but lame isn't always a bad thing. First of all I was only commenting on the clock action. While it's cool all the people who come out of the clock, they don't really do much. What I'm suggesting for the People Mover track is alot more interactive characters.

Second of all, if you ask everyone in the park one word to describe It's a Small World I can tell you it sure won't be 'cool'

For the record, Mission to Mars and People Mover were also lame, but man if I didn't love those two.

That idea would work too. I would think so long as no patrons are up there, they don't have to worry so much about the safety regulations of the 'ride', and therefore can get away with cutting corners and making it cheaper for them.

(Read this somewhere else) They should Use the people mover for the 50th celebration by adding yesterland ride vehicles up there, or having something that represents it, like a sky way bucket, ATIS vehicle, a moonliner (lol), a midget atopia car, ext.

[dramaqueen]

I think "quick fixes" is where DL has been getting into trouble with over the past few years. Anything they decide to do up there should not be thrown together at the last second. Look at the Rocket Rods and what a disaster they were- I am willing to see them empty until something there is something worthwhile to put up there.

[Cousin Orville]

I think they should blow it up in as a finale to a one time 50th fireworks show called "BLAMtasmic!". or "One Man's Dream"

I think this would be a good solution to the empty People Mover track.

Something temporary running along the track just to add movement and give the track some visual flair during the 50th would be awesome though --- something that is cool looking but clearly isn't a ride (so people don't feel obligated to ask "how can I ride that" ... since they couldn't ...) Hm, on second thought maybe it would be a good idea to make it look like a ride precisely in order to make people ask where they ride it Might drum up some motivation to put something on there..

Perhaps it was the "squared bucket" style Peoplemover cars that turned you off ... the rough bumps over certain tire sections .... Or the "elevator" music that played. (???)

All of which ... that can be fixed ... and a new Peoplemover experience can get you enticed!!!!!

[dramaqueen]

So what if it was possible to do some sort of "hover" mechanism, or even the illusion of such a thing on the track. An updated people mover of sorts. I would love to see something uber-imaginative on that track- it would really add a lot to the area and something cheap and cheesy would definitely detract.

Any motion up there would be good, compared to a dead, pointless track...

At this point, I'd even dig something like the buzz cars. Something that the riders can swivel and turn at will. Give a slow ride a new dimension. Re-do the tunnels, maybe even give it an interactive effect like Buzz, where you can activate mecanisms along the route. Same speed as the peoplemover, no extra stress on the track, but a totally different experience.

Of course, then they'd have to cut down a few branches...

[mkm1998]

Well I think the whole problem is budget for them. I mean we all know Matt's spending the big bucks doing everything he can to add new rides. So I would venture the hassle of the people-mover track is under his radar. That's why I'm saying DON'T make it a ride, just make it a parade or show of some sorts.

Heck, walk into the park and see what a hit 'Push' is. Put a couple talking robots up there, let them roam free on the track, talking to people at various points. They could yell at the people in line for Star Tours, Buzz, Astro Orbitor, and other places.

[s8ntmark]

Heh, I think seeing Abe up there would be super creepy

[mkm1998]

Haha, I can see it now "In the future, science has allowed us to recreate people from simple dna strands. The government embraced this discovery, and started a top secret program in which the most influential political people of our past were re-created to form the most brilliant think-tank in all of time. They are 'The Undead Presidents'. Welcome to Tomorrow.
