PeopleMover (Disneyland)

The PeopleMover, sometimes referred to as the Goodyear PeopleMover and WEDWay PeopleMover, was a transport attraction that opened on July 2, 1967, at Tomorrowland at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Guests boarded small trains that ran on elevated tracks for a "grand circle tour" above Tomorrowland. The term "people mover," now in wider use to describe many forms of automated public transport, was first coined as the name for this attraction. PeopleMover was originally only a working title, but became attached to the project over time.[2] The attraction was initially seen as a serious prototype for intercity public transport.[3] The ride closed on August 21, 1995, but the station and track infrastructure remain. A second PeopleMover, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, opened on July 1, 1975 in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdomin Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida near Orlando, Florida, and is still operating today.[4]
