This is probably the most lamented loss to the Disneyland community. Every where you look in Tomorrow Land you can still see the remains of this ride. As you first enter Tomorrow Land just past the Astro Orbiter you see this the supports for a tramway that have been long devoid of any activity. The PeopleMover opened in July 1967 and closed in August of 1995 when it made way for the short lived Rocket Rods. Tomorrow land was in need of a make-over in the 90’s and the PeopleMover was on the “re-imagine” list. It was a good idea. Turn an aging slower moving attraction into an “E” ticket ride that would race through Tomorrow Land. Unfortunately the Rocket Rods were plagued with problems right form the start. Tires that had to be replaced all too often and the supports for the PeopleMover were never designed to support a fast moving attraction. These were just a couple of the reasons the Rocket Rods left the park so quickly. After only two years the ride was closed down forever and all that remains of these two attractions is the tracks that run up above Tomorrow Land and through the other attractions.

The ride never reopened despite what the sign said.
