  PeopleMover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PeopleMover (July 2, 1967–August 21, 1995)(officially the PeopleMover Thru the World of Tron, from 1982-1995) was an attraction in Tomorrowland at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, and remains open at the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida as Tomorrowland Transit Authority.
PeopleMover was actually a working title for the attraction, but it became attached to the project over time and there was never another name for it.
The PeopleMover was always a popular attraction, despite the fact that it was unreliable, and took the lives of two guests, although the guests were at fault for jumping out of their cars, and were crushed by oncoming trains.
