WEDWay to Peoplemover Martins Ultimate Tribute

- Another huge project.... full of WEDway!
Beginning with the origins of the ride, look at how Tomorrowland developed and how the WEDway route was refined. See the development of the ride system progressed, how it fits into Tomorrowland and how it actually works. Next is a full concept and construction section, followed by a recreation of the original 1975-1985 era ride. Using vintage footage take a multi angle trip around and through the whole ride including Mission to Mars, RCA Space Mountain with Home of Future Living and If You Have Wings, set to the original Jack Wagner spiel. I'm hoping this audio track, whilst certainly not perfect, is one of the clearest and most complete mixes available.
This is followed by a spin on the original Star Jets.
Next up is a full multi angle night ride on the 1985-1994 ORAC-1 WEDway. This includes RCAs RYCA-1 and Delta Dreamflight. Audio again is I hope one of the clearest and most complete version of this spiel, mixed from front and rear car recordings so nothing was missed.
See the changes made in 1994, then take a full daytime multi angle ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority TTA Blueline. Again, audio was specifically recorded with a directional microphone from both the front and back cars, and again I hope this is one of the best and most complete recordings.
Following this is a full multi camera, HD spin on the Astro Orbiter.
This is followed by yet more - a HD, multi angle daytime ride of the 2009 Peoplemover with audio again mixed from front and rear cars. I also with this edit attempted to use more unusual camera angles to differ from the many ride throughs already available.
And still there's more! A daytime off ride look at the Peoplemover as it travels around the various parts of Tomorrowland.
For anyone still watching, next up is an in depth look at the WEDway proposed for Lake Buena Vista, E.P.C.O.T. and Communicore. Then look at and ride the WEDway at Houston Airport and the WEDway derived line in Washington DC.
And finally..... a night time HD multi angle ride around Tomorrowland of today.
Each section is set to contemporary Tomorrowland music of the time. 87 minutes long. - Розваги
Here's the ingeniousness of this ride. At 1:08:26 there appears to be two buttons on the control panel - one to start up and an e-stop. The simplicity of this ride is also it's greatest strength. The ride almost never breaks down and is still one of the most cherished rides still at WDW.
“This ride almost never breaks down” Yeahh sureeeee bud
@@owensanto4004Kbroke down twice today while I was on it lol, separate times
We love it tho
Now that the PeopleMover narration has been updated again, we’ll need a new video including it…
Thank you for these videos. As a child of the 80s I have great memories of Tomorrowland. You take great care in making these videos and the quality is appreciated. I love learning more about the parks and the videos take me back. Keep ‘em coming!
This is my favorite ride in Magic Kingdom and I so enjoyed learning all the history and hearing the older narrations and background music! I really prefer some of the older narrations, so it was great to hear it again. Thanks for another amazing video, appreciate all the hard work!
Cam Clarke isn't that bad, but I too miss the oldies.
I did not know the "division" was sold to Bombardier. It explains why we haven't seen any more peoplemovers come about. Sadly, because there are so many places on the Walt Disney World property where they could do what Walt intended them to do, and not just be a novelty attraction.
I didn't go on WEDway until I was an adult (because it didn't "do" anything). Later it was the very first ride I took my daughter on just before her 1st birthday. It's a really neat view of Tomorrow Land, especially at sunset, but fun any time. Like others, I miss the old TTA audio loop--- really funny. Love the Mover
I’m amazed at how you obtain all this information. Much appreciated!
Man, thank you for doing all these. I don't know how you find all this footage or edit the way you do, but it is wonderful. I love the 70s music too! This so takes me back, and I was born in 81!
Noboby gives a f-uck
@@roberthouston3809 says the guy who took the time to watch the video, read my comment from SIX years ago, and write a reply. Dude I just complemented a video. You need help.
Oh heck yeah--getting my popcorn ready for this! Thanks man!!
This was one of the few rides I didn't like riding in the dark. It was much better in daylight. I think we usually went on it in the morning.
Loved the footage of that Airport and Washington versions of the people mover! Didn't know they existed!
When my sister was little, she was scared of the peoplemover so we told her it was a ride our great grandma liked a lot 😂😂😂
Martin this is one of your finest videos!! AMAZING thanks for taking the time to make it. ♡♡♡♡♡
Very interesting! Thank you for doing these videos.
Your tributes are the best! If it was not for u I would never be as big as a Disney fan that I am today! Thanks!
Very comprehensive and informative.
I love this. PeopleMover was the first attraction I ever rode at WDW (my 1st visit was in 1978 as a toddler) and to this day it's still my favorite and what I always ride first when visiting the Magic Kingdom. I remember back in the day though, my mom & I misread the sign and called it the WE-DAY PeopleMover instead of WEDWAY. I still like calling it the WE-DAY PeopleMover though.
6:11 music makes me emotionally happy 😊 everytime
Another amazing video as always! Well put together :)
This is very interesting how it evolved.
Do a ultimate tribute to Mr Toad's Wild Ride WDW
every girl wants to ride Mr.Toad's wild ride :P
Such a weird and interesting ride because it had all sorts of different elements like the dark area with the City of the Future. And a sneak preview of Spaceship Earth.
I think this is the Dreamflight narration:
At one time, Earthly civilization flying was just a dream. Now, whether it's a trip around the block or clear across the galaxy, flight is a way of life for Tomorrowlanders. You can enjoy our tribute to 20th century aviation here at Dreamflight, presented by Delta Airlines.
Really great complication. It was great to learn more about the WDW version. I've only been going to WDW since Feb 2020, so I only really know the more recent versions of the ride. I love me some retro though -- I'd seen tons of videos on the Disneyland PeopleMover and fell in love with the ride that way. As a result when I went to Magic Kingdom for the first time one of the very first things I did was hop on the PeopleMover!
An unexpected surprise. Thanks, Martin!
Nice way to relax after work, wasn't expecting this.
You make by far the best Disney videos! So much info and amazing footage! I'm building my own Magic Kingdom in Minecraft and decided to make the 1970's version of Tomorrowland. This is REALLY helping me with the Peoplemover and overall design of the land. Thanks so much!
Another outstanding piece of art that you've put together. I love the way you put these documentaries together. I can't imagine how long it takes, especially the diagrams you make of the ride.
Please keep up your awesome work!!
Love the 70s music, really it’s an oddly relaxing thing to listen to. The knowledge of the history of the subject is amazing.
I've watched the first 20 minutes and I love it already. Great video as always and I also enjoy that you included the Disneyland history as well. It's a shame that DL didn't modify the PM to LIM technology instead of that Rocket Rods joke.
Just wow. Thank you so much for this and all the videos you do.
The amount of work for different shots that you got for Progressland alone was outstanding!
Thanks for these videos. I find the history and engineering of these structures fascinating.
Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing your great mix of information, nostalgia and filmmaking!
Narration would make all these great videos perfect. As always, great research and editing.
Great video! You always do amazing work.
Yess!!! dude get so excited every time I see you've posted a new vid, I love your work keep it up my friend!
Another great video that took me at lest twice the posted length to watch! I thought I knew all about the Peoplemover, but I learned so much more from this video!! Thanks Martin for all your amazing work!!!
I guess thanks to the WEDWay People Mover/TTA, Orlando International Airport and Houston have versions of the peoplemover. I honestly never knew that.
The San Francisco Airport has one too.
Orlando International Airport does NOT have a WEDway PeopleMover system. Theirs is a Automated Guideway System. The key difference is the WEDway system cars are totally unpowered (no drive motor, no A/C, no speaker for the spiel) eliminating the need for a power transfer system to the cars.
Amazing video Martin! One of my favorite rides. I rode it 4 times yesterday. Love your videos!
Another great video Martin. Love all your videos!
Amazing footage, fantastic video. Top effort, Martin.
excellent video Martin!! You always amaze me with your content and talent... Keep up the great work!!
Great job as always !!!!
Amazing video, Martin. This is your first vid I have come across and it made my day!
Nice video I love it! I've always been a geek about tomorrowland history.
This video is beautiful it shows how much you improved since you began, plus I would really love to see a Fantasyland Ultimate history it would be cool since how much you improved over the years it would actually be a cool idea in the future.
From 1971-2016 because of the New Fantasyland.
The older voice narrators and the story are what I miss the most about this ride.
I’ve noticed that some of the old narration lines were recycled into the new version. It’s very interesting how that is.
I never got to experience this at DL, but I've seen people's old POV footage. The route was awesome. But the track is there, just rusting to Hell. It needs to make a comeback so bad!! In fact, Tomorrowland at DL needs an update/overhaul really bad!! I do love the WDW version, because it's there!!
It's nice to know that there are two Peoplemovers still in operation.
Now that footage has surfaced of "If You Had Wings" from the Peoplemover perspective (in several videos) it might be time to do another minor upgrade to this.
Another excellent video :D
I just found your channel and your work is amazing. For anyone that loves Disney and loves to learn about the history and operations of attractions this channel is their dream. Thanks for making a Disney nerd happy.
I love the tributes
This part gave me such a flashback... " "Hi there Tomorrowland passengers, this is Mr. Johnson in Sky View Hovercraft , bringing you the latest Tomorrowland traffic report. As usual, everything is perfect on Tommorowland's super-highways. back to you at TTA central."
Way back, I was a CM in Fantasyland. I don't know if anyone remembers E-ride Nights, but that was where a limited amount of resort guests could buy a ticket to stay in the park an extra 3 hours on certain designated nights. This was before extra magic hours. And only certain attractions where open, and all of Fantasyland was closed. A handful of us Fantasyland CM's would have to stay, though to "guard" all the entrances to FL, because no one could even walk through. So we'd direct the guests otherwise. One of these spots we were stationed was pretty much right under the TTA track by Mickey's Star Traders. Yes, technically we were in Tomorrowland in FL costumes, but we were told it was ok, as we didn't want guests to get all the way to the teacups only to have to turn around.
Anyway, it was a pretty lonely, boring job, and hearing that narration every few sections, well, I got to the point I could recite it word for word, exact inflection and everything. It was years ago, but it's still engraved in my brain.
I wonder if the modern footage will look like the 70s footage to the next generation
Fantastic some great footage here ☺
beautiful video.
People mover music is great
What a great way to end the day.
I love these videos! I only wish they could be dubbed for voice caption as I typically get the urge to watch them when bored at work but I still have to keep an eye out for my boss haha.
Thank you very much for this. I've always loved the WEDway PeopleMover. As a kid, I thought it would be cool if they had a similar system going throughout Magic Kingdom (of course, I also thought a monorail system going through my neighborhood and stopping at each house would be cool so I didn't have to walk too far to the bus stop; eh, I was a kid :-) ).
Partially because of this, I'm REALLY sad the system wasn't implemented in either E.P.C.O.T. or Walt Disney World Village. Not only would it have been cool, but a really good use of the tech, IMHO. I wonder if you could have changed your mind on your destination half-way through the trip (assuming you hadn't passed the stop already). How about multiple stops (some family members going one place while others go to other places). I'm really interested to know how that would have worked.
I really like the description of how the system works. I noticed a couple of missing details, however. First, there's no mention of how the multiple speaker system works to deliver the ride's spiel. I'm guessing the same sensor used to detect the presence of the car also tells the spiel system to send the recording to these speakers. I'm really curious how that all works.
Second, while it is implied, it's never directly mentioned that the cars are unpowered. I consider this important since that's actually a selling point of the tech: the cars weigh less, have few moving parts, NO electronic parts, and don't require any complicated and possibly dangerous power transfer system (e.g. a third rail). All of which makes maintenance of the cars easy and inexpensive.
It's partially because of this second point that I wonder how the LBV system was supposed to work. It looked like the cars were going to be powered which would eliminate some of the tech's "advantages".
This is epic! And I just found it after all these years?!? Does YT not see my search history haha
1:16:47 an edit on something that isn't theme park related? IMPOSSIBLE
The StarJets clip with Pluto and Goofy heartwarmed me.
watching this just makes me a little sad because this was my late mother's favorite ride at Disney World. She could have written this attraction all day long and her opinion LOL and never got tired of it. I love all of your videos especially because you go into great detail and give us all the background history of many of the of the attractions that we love. please keep up the good work and are you ever going to do any background videos on Universal Orlando? I saw the one that you did regarding their cinematic spectacular but I was wondering if you're going to do some on there other attractions. Please keep the videos coming
This is very comprehensive and nostalgic. I particularly love the discussion of proposed uses of the Wedway elsewhere in the resort, including the proposal for the Walt Disney World Village. I also learned more about the history like the original plan for PeopleMover load/unload to be inside Space Mountain! The only thing I would've liked to see was mention of the Wedway routes just outside the Magic Kingdom, visible on a map Walt Disney refers to in his EPCOT presentation. However, it's not a huge omission, IMO.
Also, this is the first time I've seen any footage--or imagery--of the Dallas Wedway!
Awesome !
heh Funny thing I got stuck on this a long time ago and the stoping point was inside of Space mountain
31:39 - MIND BLOWN!
43:44 - AGAIN MIND BLOWN!! with the ride off to!
So miss the great narration, and very happy that this ride is still there! Always appreciate your videos, Martin. You have the best music! Where do you find it?
I really miss those twin water jet towers flanking the entrance to Tomorrowland
I wish we could see you do more classic Universal stuff too!
I'm so glad WDW kept this ride
Bring back the PeopleMover at Disneyland right now.
great video loved it , you should do videos with narration
I miss that giant waterfall of Tomorrowland. The people mover was a great ride at Disneyland, but people started a game to jump off it and were killed when they fell. It became the people remover.
Walt Disney World In Florida Is Already Going To Have Star Wars Land Right Here at The Magic Kingdom
I'm curious to know what was in the space where the robots currently are.
Martin I enjoy your videos and your website great job sir Especially tribute to the old rides and attractions i miss very much .How did you manage to. Accomplish this ? please let me know
Astro Orbiter was a lot more visually interesting when all the planets were spinning
It sounds like there may have been other dioramas considered for the PeopleMover route before Progress City was (partially) moved from Disneyland. That's what I gather based on the statement here. Plus, my memory is Progress City stayed at Disneyland a few years after Carousel of Progress left and America Sings moved in. Did the Florida PeopleMover operate for a time without the Progress City model? And if other dioramas were indeed considered, is it known what they would've been?
omg i remember a previous exit message for this ride from when i rode that in 2008 or so that says "the doors will open automatically. when they do, please collect your belongings and step carefully onto the moving platform. thank you for choosing tomorrowland transit authority for all your ?????? ?????"
*travel needs
@@kuluke2002 thanks
I know the wild Kingdom is what you do, but EPCOT has a long history so I'm hoping you'll some tributes for that sometime soon.
Brilliant close-ups of the model...how on Earth did you get them??
Hi Martin, I absolutely love your videos but the majority of them won't play on my iPad. Is there a setting you can amend to make this possible? Some of the old school tributes work and I often rewatch them to ease me back to sleep but am limited to only a handful of options. I'm sure I can't be the only person having this problem and it would be good to see you get the views you deserve. Your tributes are the best there is and I hope you are able to help me with this. Thank you, in advance.
do tower of terror!
Where do you get the music for these videos? Are they specifically the audio BGM for the time, or just tracks that work well. They are soooooo good!!!
All the music in this video is from the background music for each time period.
Love the people mover since Disney took it out from Disneyland
Where does the model at 4:11 come from?? I've never seen that one before.
Can you make a "Super-Ultimate History" of WDW Tomorrowland to update it as of 2017, because the old video is getting kind of outdated, but i did like all 3 Ultimate History's
At 31 minutes, the Space Mountain music is being played as well as sung. I never knew there were words. Does anyone know where this track can be found?
Look for Foxxy Hooves UA-cam channel ;)
🎵If you had wings if you had wings if you had wings had wings had wings🎵
So many of your videos won't play on my iPad. I have to watch the same few videos over and over to get my Disney fix and I'm a massive fan of your work. Is there any way you can make them available on all devices?
katariah that's a UA-cam imposed restriction I'm afraid.
27:59 What's the link for this POV?????? It's the POV that's HD apparently.
Please respond as soon as possible!! I need to know now!
Where do u get all these old clips of the ride and povs of it from the 80s lol?
ITS MISSION TO MARS
💯💯👌👌😂😂🐈🐈🐕🐕✅✅
Something that has been bugging me for a few years now, is that I can’t seem to find out who was the voice actor for Orac-1?
I've been asking that question for 20+ years.
I've even seen a letter from Dave Smith at Walt Disney Archives responding to this question.
We wasn't even able to get the answer from Imagineering.
I read that Ronnie Schell did the voice for ORAC-1, but I'm not completely sure on this.
@@kuluke2002 Oh my gosh, thank you for the lead! If it was Schell it would make sense; he did a lot of work with/for the Disney company.
@@sapphire_willow You're welcome
Walt Disney World In Florida Is Already Going To Have Star Wars Land Right Here at The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World In Florida
Actually Star Wars land is going to be at Disney Hollywood studios, same place as toy story land
I really miss the old TTA narration. The current one is just junk.
The old one had tons of theming and tone, and the new one really doesn't.
LIKE LOL
Is B.J. Ward the female ride voice?
Yes.
