Extracted from the Wikipedia article PeopleMover (Disneyland).

The PeopleMover, sometimes referred to as the Goodyear PeopleMover and WEDWay PeopleMover, was a transport attraction that opened on July 2, 1967, in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Guests boarded small trains that ran on elevated tracks for a "grand circle tour" above Tomorrowland. The term people mover, now in wider use to describe many forms of automated public transport, was coined for this attraction. PeopleMover was originally only a working title, but became attached to the project over time. The attraction was initially seen as a serious prototype for intercity public transport. The ride closed on August 21, 1995, but its station and track infrastructure—which it shared with its short-lived successor, Rocket Rods—remain standing as of 2026. A second PeopleMover opened on July 1, 1975 in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando, Florida, and is still operating today.
