Rather, they were pushed by rotating tires embedded in the track once every nine feet, each of which had its own electric motor. The trains were not powered by motors within themselves. Passengers boarded and alighted by a large speed-matched rotating platform inside the station. The attraction's vehicles were always moving. The PeopleMover (blue) and the Disneyland Monorail System (red) in 1979 A second PeopleMover opened on Jin Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida near Orlando, Florida, and is still operating today. The ride closed on August 21, 1995, but its station and track infrastructure-which it shared with its short-lived successor, Rocket Rods-remain standing as of 2022. The attraction was initially seen as a serious prototype for intercity public transport. PeopleMover was originally only a working title, but became attached to the project over time. 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. Guests boarded small trains that ran on elevated tracks for a "grand circle tour" above Tomorrowland. Help us transcribe more shows and attractions!
