Why the PeopleMover should stay Yesterland
7:58 PM
If there is anything a lifelong Disneyland nut wants back in the park right now, it's the WEDway PeopleMover in Tomorrowland. Walking through the futuristic land, many sadden upon eying the vacant track, but other casual tourists don't even notice that there is a track that used to power an attraction. But we could bicker all day about PeopleMover. But here a few reasons why the attraction should stay in Yesterland...
1). Only classic Disneyland fans would appreciate its return
Honestly though, if you started to get hooked on Disneyland in...2002 or so, then you really don't have a place in your heart for the old ride. Only people who remember the original would want it back to ride once again.
2). Tourists wouldn't bother.

Sure, most of the Disneyland crowd in the 21st century is local Californians who appreciate the park, but there are definitely the masses of tourists that come in from around the world to see the park. If any tourist from across the country, or even the world, saw this ride, they would just walk by and nod it off for a ride on Space Mountain anyday.3.) It really isn't that easy to bring back.
While we know Disney Imagineers can do anything pretty much, it would still be a difficult track to work around with, re-configuring new track pieces, getting vehicles, making the loading zone, queue, etc.
4.) It wouldn't be that good if it wasn't refreshed.
If you brought back the exact original of he PeopleMover, it wouldn't be that exciting of an attraction, especially in today's standards, and the future of attractions to come to the resort.
5.) An updated Rocket Rods would be more successful anyway.
This one's a biggie. The long-lived Rocket Rods weren't too successful as a replacement to the beloved PeopleMover, but imagine a totally refined version of the failed attraction. It'd get a larger line anyway...
