I first rode the WEDway PeopleMover back in July of 1987. Didn't make it back to WDW after that until July, 2000, but have ridden the TTA (new name that I don't like quite as much) at least once per trip since then.

ME, ME, ME!!! I love this ride. It gives you a chance to rest, provides a nice overview of the park and I just love going inside Space Mountain. That's about as close to the ride as I'm going to get as my kids are either too short or too apprehensive.
I'm very glad that this attraction is still running in WDW. First off, there's never a line (or what little there is moves incredibly quickly). It's a nice, relaxing break from running around, an excellent way to enjoy all the activity in Tomorrowland. And from a visual standpoint it adds such a great kinetic energy to the land, the antithesis to the dead track in DL's Tomorrowland.
I absolutely LOVE it. It is a highlight during my day whenever I'm there. Never a line... a great place to relax and enjoy the breeze... plus a view of Tomorrowland that you can get nowhere else. What's not to love?
Add me to the list but it is and will always be the People Mover to me. Can't really remember it not being there. I have some of best pics from that ride as it goes around different angles of TL. Never miss it.
I never miss this ride! I wave at the people below for the entire time that I'm on it. Those that glance up and see the grinning idiot waving like a madman generally wave back about half the time.

Hey, jk!!! Nice to see you here!!! Hmmm, did you come over because of my info about who could be found here now?

The Wed Way People Mover (Yes, it is STILL called that by the family) is great to me, because not only is it relaxing, its my dad's favorite ride (besides the "park benches" and Buzz Lightyear's Spin, as he calls it). Basicly, my dad enjoys anything that involves sitting or as little movement as possible these days thanks to his inner ear problem. LoL.
I love me some Tomorrowland Transportation Authority! Although, like some other posters, I'll always know it as the WEDway People Mover. It's been around since the early years in the 1970s when it was thought that this mode of transportation might be usuable in the "real" world....
Anyway, I ride this every time I visit MK. I find it a great way to sit and relax for 10 minutes and enjoy the break. I love passing by the Progess City model near Alien Encounter (well, Stitch's lame-o Escape-o) and riding the perimeter of Space Mountain.
The TTA has been around for 30 years and it is still one of my favorite attractions in the park. It's a ride that is highly under rated and offers some of the best views of Tomorrowland. Plus the views of the hub and castle as you come around the front of Tomorrowland are the best.
My only wish is that they get rid of that horrible monotone pa system announcing the different buildings along the way.
I love it! It's a definite not-miss for me, and I like for it to be the first attraction I hit in Tomorrowland... it really helps build up aniticipation!
And I love that little noise that plays before they make an "announcement"... it's like a little chime.. THAT brings back some memories!
