The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover formerly known as the WEDWay PeopleMover from 1975 until 1994 and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority from 1994 until 2010, is a PeopleMover system in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. Themed as an urban mass transit system of the future, the ride takes passengers on a tour around the second floor of many attractions in Tomorrowland. It is also the lone-remaining Magic Kingdom attraction to still have corporate sponsorship as a result of Kodak ending its sponsorship with Mickey's Philharmagic on December 31, 2012 (''Wishes'', the nighttime firework show, is sponsored by PANDORA, but it is not considered an attraction). ==Attraction== The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is a slow moving 10 minute ride in a vehicle that is propelled by a system of Linear Synchronous Motors embedded in track. It has one station, in the center of Rocket Tower Plaza, located beneath the landmark Astro Orbiter. The Peoplemover's leisurely pace, lack of long queue lines, and the sneak previews it offers of other more extreme Tomorrowland attractions make it a favorite attraction among repeat visitors. The ride begins by leaving the Rocket Tower Plaza to a tunnel above Stitch's Great Escape!, in which ride vehicles pass a large diorama containing a portion of the Progress City or "E.P.C.O.T." model that originally resided in the upper level of the Carousel of Progress at Disneyland in 1967, then passing a window looking downward at Mickey's Star Traders. The vehicles then head forward to Space Mountain. When entering the mountain the trains pass a sign featuring the Space Mountain logo. The track then makes a right hand turn and enters the mountain interior. After a short period of darkness, the peoplemover vehicles pass through the lift hill bay of the roller coasters, during which it may be possible to see trains climbing the lift hills to either side. The vehicles then pass two lighted signs reading "Starport: Seven Five" (a reference to the opening year of the attraction). Then the vehicles proceed around the edge of the mountain, during which it is possible to look up and see the projections from the ride. After this, the trains exit, and run along the outside of the mountain to return to the railroad bridge. This preceding section of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority has gained heavy notoriety among Disney park guests for offering the only easily accessible view of Space Mountain when the mountain interior work lights are on. Because the two attractions have separate operating systems, the TTA does not close if Space Mountain breaks down, so guests riding the TTA when the work lights are on can get a rare illuminated look at the layout for the Omega(B-Side) track. After exiting Space Mountain, the vehicles then turn to the southern portion of Tomorrowland. Passengers ride along the exterior of the Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress building, and onward to the Buzz LIghtyear's Space Ranger Spin show building where guests are given a glimpse in to the attraction below similar to the one given of Mickey's Star Traders. Guests are also shown a diorama of a futuristic hair salon. Guests then return to Rocket Tower Plaza where they disembark. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
