Yes, Disney deserves most of the blame for the years of hope (only sometimes crossing into what I'd call whining) for the return of submarines and the Peoplemover.
Nobody seriously begs (though there is the occasional wistful sigh) for the return of the Skyway. Why? Because they tore down the towers and filled in the Matterhorn hole.
I've said it before but I think Disneyland should be constantly moving forward. If a ride is open for eternity, great. But once you close it, move on. If the subsequent use fails, close it and try something else. Don't go back to what was there the first time. Rocket Rods didn't work? Move on to the next thing or tear it out. The day after the subs closed, if they didn't have an immediate lagoon based plan for it they should have started paving it over. Just my opinion. Bringing back the subs. If they bring back the Peopolemove you don't just have Pixar Tomorrowland you have Pixar Yesterdayland.
