Episodes #383 & #384 - Wedway PeopleMover
Oct 17, 2020, 06:00 PM
Walt Disney had a plan for urban design - and a central theme was how to get people around his city of tomorrow. He envisioned monorails for longer trips, and a peoplemover for local circuits. The WED designers laid out plans for both, and prototyped the people mover in DIsneyLand before it opened in Florida. It is a clever and innovative means of transportation that never seemed to catch on. I talk about it, and play the audio tracks that were on the attraction over the years.
