PEOPLEMOVER COSTUME 1967 - 1973 Go! Go! Yellow! (Gold)

When this costume debuted along with the others for the 1967 New Tomorrowland, WED wanted to really create a vista into the future.......a future of very good looking , fit people! The unprinted word around the park staffing was "only beautiful people apply for transfer" The New Tomorrowland costumes were only done in select sizes.......even tight and form fitting to 1960's standards. Rich, a 1967 New Tomorrowland "Disneylander" (now a respected San Francisco dentist today) said that the guys would try to get to costume issue early as possible to grab one of the few "slightly larger" PeopleMover stretch pants. The joke around Tomorrowland cast members was that if you saw a  male PeopleMover employee walking towards you....and they had a dime in their pocket, you could tell if it was heads or tales!......Since the PeopleMover costume pants had no pockets, our "Disneylander" admitted the real joke was, from the pants, you could tell what religion the cast member was!!!!

GO! GO! GOODYEAR!!!!!!...............................maybe that's why our cast member in the picture is NOT smiling.............

By 1972, a newer PeopleMover costume was being developed, and was used first for the AMERICA SINGS attraction (in appropriate Red, White and Blue colors).....then the PeopleMover. The sketch shows the blue shirt that was used until the early 80's when it was ultimately replaced by a white shirt (that could be used with multiple Tomorrowland costumes)

AND TOMORROWLOUNGE has not forgotten the stylish ladies!!!!

Judging from that cast members pose on the right, you had better now EXACTLY how many people are in your party!!

For you PeopleMover fans...............Tomorrowlounge will have lots more down the line!!

PEOPLE ON THEIR WAY TO TOMORROWLOUNGE 67!!!

WALT DISNEY WORLD SPACE MOUNTAIN
entry marquee --c. 1976 --don't worry folks, there's always plenty of parking at TOMORROWLOUNGE 67!

was the idea of Space Mountain so new that imagineers found it necessary to show guests an idea of what was inside???

WALT DISNEY WORLD SPACE MOUNTAIN
entry portal c. 1976

notice the modern murals painted on the entry walls? They are almost the exact same patterns as painted on the Disneyland Space Mountain construction wall shown in yesterdays post!

SPACE MOUNTAIN CONSTRUCTION WALL -DISNEYLAND

The same WED concept art displayed along the Space Mountain construction wall was also featured along the PEOPLEMOVER right-of-way thru the Carousel Theater. Once the Progress City model was sent to Walt Disney World , the remaining half of the second level of America Sings remained vacant. A series of 5 various size rectangular opening with curved edges showcased concept for soon-to-be-opening Tomorrowland attractions --mainly Space Mountain and Mission to Mars. This artwork was illuminated on plexi panels-in the same way the Circle-Vision preview panels were done alone the PeopleMover as well.


The PeopleMover storage was dislocated once Space Mountain construction began and was relocated above America Sings. The original plans for the SUPER SPEED TUNNEL (there's really two tunnels) were to have it on the "up-ramp" passing the Starcade. This was because there were plans for another attraction called the UFO SHOW to go above America Sings "guests will travel in vehicles in one direction, armed with air guns while eerie, unhuman, gremlin-like targets pop up and dart in the other direction. Upon completion this attraction will be the first "shooting gallery" where the marksman's position moves as well as the target's" -  Winter, 1974 WED BACKSTAGE

Hmmmmmm no such thing as a new idea???

Once they UFO show was kinda shelved, they relocated the Super Speed Tunnels above America Sings. The PeopleMover was rerouted for this, and the old WEDWAY route was planked over and used as the "office" portion of the WEDWAY maintenance facilities. The mechanical access "pit" below the Progress City model turned out to be the perfect space for a undercarriage PeopleMover service pit!!
