  • This is the absolutely amazing and extremely rare c.1977 live recording of the PeopleMover at Disneyland synced to many pictures (and video screenshots) of the ride from the same time period. HUGE thanks to Jared Ungar for finding this recording while browsing on Mousebits and uploading it so that more people, including myself, could finally hear the full extremely rare 1977 PeopleMover spiel by the late, great, Jack Wagner. Jack narrated the PeopleMover from the early-1970's until 1982, as he can also be heard in a couple of 1974 recordings, however that spiel was completely different from this one, which was used from after the major 1976-77 refurbishment of the PeopleMover (which rerouted parts of the track to go inside the new Space Mountain and SuperSpeed Tunnel) until 1982, when they replaced the SuperSpeed Tunnel with the Game Grid of Tron, and the 1977 Jack Wagner spiel with the first iteration of the BJ Ward spiel. However, this is still the third oldest live recording I've heard of the PeopleMover, only behind the two 1974 recordings also found by Jared Ungar (THANK YOU!). There are actually a few sound films and videos where you can hear small portions of this audio (also linked below), however this is by far the most extensive recording of this spiel, and I have done my best to recreate a ride through using this recording. The recording might not be from 1977, because it was actually marked as 1976, however this is impossible because the PeopleMover was closed for most of that year for the major refurbishment already mentioned above, and also in the narration they mention all the features of the new Space Mountain complex, which like the rest of Tomorrowland back then was infinitely better than most of what it's become. Also, I now know thanks to this and the 1974 recordings, that the elevator type music wasn't installed until the 1976-77 refurbishment, because in the 1974 recordings you can instead hear both variants of Nation on Wheels being played at a very different pitch than usual. My next PeopleMover video will be a c.1974 audio tribute, since I was actually able to find the isolated narration in low quality, as well as both variants of Nation on Wheels in their original pitch, and I was able to use a pitch corrector to correct the pitch. It will probably be uploaded a couple weeks from now. I hope you enjoy, and original audio tribute (partially inaccurate) linked below.

    Back in what I'd have to imagine were the late 70's to early 80's (but before Tron, when they still had the Speedway), I was really young. I seem to remember a sign at either the entrance or exit of the ride queue, down on ground level I think. It was an advertisement of some sort I think, and it had moving parts. I seem to recall different styles of... shoes or something... and caricatures of peoples' faces.
    I had to be 5 or younger, so I could definitely be misremembering, but I DO remember that it was somehow tied to the Peoplemover, since that was my favorite ride back then. Can you possibly recall what in the heck I'm talking about, maybe?

      Although I am sadly too young to have experienced Disneyland's PeopleMover in person, I have an idea of what these signs were. They were at the entrance & exit speed ramps, and were different advertisements for Goodyear. They sponsored the PeopleMover with these ads from 1967-1982. These small dioramas were all inside of white cases with the same diamond shape as the Goodyear logo. Unfortunately, because there is very little documentation of these signs, I haven't actually seen what most of them look like, but I have recently seen a shot of one, which had a flat Goodyear blimp with light up letters.

      @@benjaminroberson1924 That's absolutely right! To be perfectly honest, I'm not even positive that I actually saw the sign in real life, but merely dreamed it as a young child. Either way, I do greatly appreciate your trying to answer and help anyways!

      Glad you enjoyed, and I think that's really cool that you worked there in 1977!

    I can’t believe this narration refers to Space Mountain as “new,” this just shows how old Space Mountain really is.
