Add to the nostalgia kick at Disneyland: - Return of the Submarine Voyage (now with Nemo) - Re-painting of Small World facade with original white & gold scheme (was pastel colors for a number of years) - Re-painting of Space Mtn to its original white (had been a bronze color since 1998) - Return of Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln (more like original show w/ enhancements) - Return of the Sleeping Beauty Castle walk-through (also more like the original show w/ enhancements) - Retro design of the new Mark VII Monorails (looks similar to the original Mark I design) So I am hopeful for the return of the WEDway PeopleMover at DL. I was even a bit nostalgic for the old Disneyland parking lot and the blue & yellow trams. But I guess Disney has decided to keep DCA. ;-) -- Lisa TDC Ping, Royal Heroine Warrior Grand Imagineer of the Trimobian Pavilion

But I still haven't given up hope that the PeopleMover will return to DL one day. The beams are all still there. The old guide tire drive system was removed when Rocket Rods went in. But I would think they would upgrade to a newer linear drive system like WDW TTA has anyway. I always ride TTA a few times when I go to WDW. It's one of my faves. -- Lisa TDC Ping, Royal Heroine Warrior Grand Imagineer of the Trimobian Pavilion
