House of the Future Part II

Snowflake · 02-13-2008, 08:40 AM

This caught my eye.

If it's going to look like a "normal" how from the outside, where's the swank in that? Somehow this sounds like house of innoventions to me.

Where do they pee?

Still, I'm glad that Disneyland is putting something more into Tomorrowland. Now, if they can just resurrect that Peoplemover! We were just at WDW and my hubby rode the Poeplemover for the first time -- he was blown away and thought it was super cool and retro.

Haven't you seen Star Trek. There are no bathrooms in the future.

I think they're still planning to bring back the Peoplemover.

My question is: I've heard about every single new attraction via one of the major bloggers before they ever hit the papers.

I'd love to see a return of the Peoplemover, it would be retro and nice. But, I ask, are there tracks still running through the old portions of what used to be IASW, etc.? Or were those thing already circumvented for the Rocket Rods?

I don't for certain about earlier Star Treks but I know that in at least Voyager and Enterprise there are bathrooms.

They did not alter the track layout at all for Rocket Rods.

Alrightie, then I'm going to assume the tracks are still in the various show buildings (Carousel of Progress, etc.) and they'd likely be updated with lights and other theming if we're lucky. Assuming that the Peoplemovers do actually make a return to Tomorrowland. Thanks for answering my question, GD.

But, they can no longer be open air vehicles, as CAL-OSHA has determined the clearances within the buildings the tracks run thru are too tight.

Bah.
