One operated at Disneyland from 1968 - 1994 and another has been open at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom since 1971.<br /><br />Disney intended for the WEDway PeopleMover to be a very real transit system. It was to be the primary transit in EPCOT (the city, not the theme park). A version that stops was built for George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston which continues to operate. The technology was eventually sold to Bombardier and served as the basis for their line of people movers.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00314074257220121808noreply@blogger.com
