I thought we had a chance. However small that chance was, I wanted to believe. Disney sure showed me.

Re-Imagineering. imagineerebirth
What's funny is we're begging for scraps. If Walt was still running things, we'd have a PeopleMover, The Hulk would have a lifelike audoanimatronic face, and the future would have been a brighter place.
You have to enjoy Floridaβs people mover – but Iβd be willing to volunteer my services for fair market price to bring the rehab in under cost if anyone is paying attention – they are paying attention but donβt care
The big shiny ball in world of color is the globe from illuminations π€π
What do you mean βifβ a recession happens, we are currently in one
here's the thing…they ought to bring back "The Peoplemover" as a free ride system at the DLR to….C'mon you know…..MOVE PEOPLE!! you gotta ask yourself why they just don't build a purposely built system to move guests to either a shopping/parking area or maybe even a free ride outside either park to "showcase" the resort…yes…free peek a boo! it doesn't really have to be part of Tomorrowland but still part of "Disneyland"
I don't understand how corporations work. Why do they always act like they're flat broke? What is the point of being a corporation if you're always broke? "Our theme parks made infinity dollars this year. But we'd better be careful what projects we announce, because if there's a recession, we'll have to cancel them all."
Yeah… D23 parks panel was abundant with concepts… a lot of "well jeeze wouldn't THIS idea be just swell?"
Wish there had been more ACTUAL announcements, not as I said before "concepts". But oh well… it is what it is unfortunately.
is it just my screen or was there a glitch in the matrix? 8:54 look at the clouds
why are you digging with a snow shovel?
Hulk looks terrible. wtf.
I think a lot of fans – especially those in the room – misinterpreted what Josh said. Happily Ever After, the show, is not coming back. Rather the song is going to be incorporated into a fireworks show next year (could even just be a tag to the current show). The applause and cheers were so loud that people couldnβt hear the rest of Joshβs statement.
honey you deserve to go off about all of this disney higherups are completely betraying theyβre core base like the way they had the figment balloons and teased the villains land it just feels like a carrot on a stick
I'm glad Disney wants to embrace some "brown" characters, but Encanto sucked. Diversity is awesome… but bad attractions are just going to turn the fans against your ultimate goal…
This is really sad what this guy is going through about this mentally but I donβt understand why he canβt just go on the people mover ride at Epcot and accept that as the definitive people mover ride.
Good
π oh no a made up rumor you fell for didnβt turn out to be true, even though you wanted it to be true SO BAD that you made a lot of content about how this fake rumor was totally 100% true and would be the thing to return DL to some nostalgic glory days of your imagination.
I donβt understand the idea of having more ip lands. Unless the focus of the movie is about creating an entire different universe (like avatar) then why make an entire area dedicated to that rather than just a ride?
My thought on Villain's Grove is what would be the story or other justification that has them all in the same place. Interested to see the concept, if it ever happens.
The giant Hulk seems like the tech is finally ready to bring Pete to life properly. Of any giant character, he deserves it.
Encanto would make an amazing Hagrid style roller coaster.
Thank you for the giant middle finger, Mr. Mickey Mouse. Of course Iβll happily pay you more, for less stuff and poorer conditions of said stuff.
Thank you sir, may I have another.
Time for Offhand Universal
Somedays I feel like people like y'all care more about the parks than Disney does
wishes should be brought back. not happily ever after.
I always thought Disneyland was a dry park until you mentioned that Walt had a bar on the Mark Twain. Wild!
Nothing timeless, nothing meaningful, nothing cohesive, nothing lasting. Just cash-grab cheap IP bullshit, sold at a premium for no reason, copy-pasted into any park that happens to be lacking attendance at the time. Disney as we knew it has long since been dead. The soul has been smashed to pieces for the almighty dollar.
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it returning in the far future (obviously though it would need a brand new track). There actually was a Peoplemover styled attraction intended in the early planning stages of Galaxy's Edge.
3:30 Jim Henson did big large live walk around puppets way better 40 years ago. You freaking literally own the Muppets. This is just sad.
I felt it was pretty obvious they weren't going to bring the people mover back. It would take a lot of money to restore it, money that can be used on "new." Refurbishing old rides doesn't attract the same amount of crowds a new attractions/land would.
Why were you digging dirt with a snow shovel?
If People Mover had a poorly remade live action movie, then it would be back.
Disney is scared of Universal. Just remember the numerous announced projects at past D23 events that never came to be. My expectations were low, and Disney didn't disappoint.
In 1982 I rode the People Mover first thing at 8AM and the lights inside Space Mountain were on for maintenance. I'll never forget that sight…
I'd like to point out that he said that the Happily Ever After ANTHEM will return, not necessarily the show. From my personal resources, they've said "A Brand New Updated Show featuring the Happily Ever After Anthem"…so basically we have no idea. It could be the exact same show it could be a completely different show. They worded it in such a way that they could put on any show involving the song, and hold up to what he just announced at the panel.
Itβs never coming back. Tear out those derelict tracks and run the monorail through Tomorrowland instead. I made a video showing how it could be done.
Logic would be they will need to talk about NEW TOMORROWLAND plans before they can talk about the Peoplemover coming back since the land is going to be leveled when they build NEW TOMORROWLAND and the current track is not repairable anymore.
So you're Squidward, now, huh?
Sorry, bro, but the only way the People Mover is coming back is if some one sponsor's it. Only on some one else's dime will it come back.
The only announcement I was actually really looking forward to from this D23 weekend was the materializing of the hat box ghost here in Florida and the new haunted mansion movie with Winona Ryder, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Danny DeVito
They announced long ago – YEARS – that the DL PeopleMover track, partially due to the ill-advised Rocket Rods, had suffered structural damage to the point that it could never be used again. Until we get a COMPLETELY NEW Tomorrowland at DL – and with Bob Paycheck in charge, good luck – those useless, ugly tracks will sit there as a reminder of past bad decisions.
But yes, the DL PeopleMover is dead.
But likeβ¦hasnβt the Anaheim peoplemover been abandoned and rusting for like, thirty years?
Wasn't at D23 but ALL I need to know is everyone who went says "I'll start with the good because there was some good…" then the REST is 4 times longer π€π’
This is the imagineers begging Chapek for more money
I am very sorry that at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, part of Tomorrowland, we are not bringing back the New Peoplemover. But when Tomorrowland is refurbished, in the above ground platform, they can still remove all the old / unused Peoplemover & Rocket Rod tracks as well as removing the old & unused Rocket Rod satellite from the top pylon to pave the way for a Heathrow Pod Tout with windows and air conditioners without motorized tracks.
Iβm wondering how theyβre going to compete with Epic Universe at Universal. Iβm more excited about Super Mario land than anything Disney has announced.
You know what they also didnβt talk about, the βthird gateβ at Disneyland. The concept art had something that looked like a Frozen ride.. all somewhere at the end of Downtown Disney. They never mentioned the entrance refurb of Tomorrowland which was super fuzzy anyway other than the 60s retro look with blue and green plants. I kind of wish they would get rid of Pixie Hallow. Itβs never opened anyway.
The blue cars???? ππ₯
Zootopia at Animal Kingdom goes against what Animal Kingdom stands (well stood I guess now) for and thatβs very sad to see
Disney is so yesterday
