The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover remains closed due to technical difficulties.

The Magic Kingdom ride closed in the first week of March and has not reopened since.

The ride was cycling during the early days of the Magic Kingdom reopening in early July, and Cast Members at the time were expecting to begin operations.

Is that new walkways around the area?
I'm really hoping that this is a quiet budget-saving move rather than doom for the attraction itself.
Any suggestion that Rocket Rods might be in our future?
Wasn’t a big refurb rumored at one point? The scenes could use it.
It doesn’t take much to operate it, and it’s a easy on/off...I’m not sure why it’s still down.

There is a technical issue preventing it from operating, which appears to be the same one that closed it in March.

Any idea of the “technicality” of the issue? A part from China?
↩ replying to DVCakaCarlF
I believe majority of parts are made in the shops (WDW has workshops for parts and other custom projects)
man i hope they dont use the technical issues as a reason to get rid of it, ive been scared for months and its getting worse

That is my biggest fear. I think they will use COVID for an excuse to close attractions. Especially, the People Mover.

im hoping the backlash and nostalgia for disneylands people mover makes them keep it. Disneyland people are still mad and the empty tracks remind everyone daily (well when its open)

I hope so! It is such a simple attraction. However, that is what makes it great.

Im really worried about this one as well. The bean counters I bet would love to nix this one, its state has not been good for some time. It use run flawlessly, I dont know what their doing.
@marni1971 can you give us any good news on this?
