Tomorrowland's '60s renovation also brought the PeopleMover, a slow-speed ride that shuttled guests along an above-ground track that swept throughout the park.
The PeopleMover rode over Autopia and the Submarine Voyage lagoon, under the Monorail, and through sections of rides like Adventure Thru Inner Space (later Star Tours), Space Mountain, and the former Carousel of Progress.
In 1977, the SuperSpeed Tunnel was added to a portion of the track that featured projections of race cars and, later in 1982, scenes from "Tron." However, due to low ridership and another Tomorrowland renovation, the PeopleMover closed in 1995.
In 1998, a new high-speed thrill ride opened on top of the PeopleMover tracks: Rocket Rods. This ride was basically the same as its predecessor, except that it sped up faster and more often, and held fewer guests at a time.
However, because PeopleMover's tracks were only meant to hold a slow-moving attraction, Rocket Rods had to decelerate at sharp curves, which ultimately led to wear and tear on the cars and tracks. In 2000, the ride quietly closed, but the tracks still remain in the park today.
