I thought I'd share this picture I found looking through my dad's old family pictures. The Rocket Jets and the People Mover are there. This was in the 80s. Sorry some of it got cut off.

Back when the world made sense. - handdmom  221.9 #1338 10:34AM
Hey, don't be sorry. And you got three attractions in one pic. - splashphotoCM  880.9 #102 11:04AM
I love this! Used to be my favorite attraction with my dad. - Yoshi  257.2 #936 10:37AM
Me too. I remember being so scared riding up in that elevator! - Normstar  81.1 #3268 10:48AM
My parents have albums full of old photos like this. I sure wish the people mover was still around! - Krissy Marissy  411.0 #317 10:40AM

It's there. I have another picture with the Sky way, submarines and the motor boat cruise in it. - CherryTreeLane  456.5 #270 10:21AM
Wait, not the sky way isn't in that picture, but I have pictures of it from that trip. - CherryTreeLane  456.5 #270 10:51AM
Most likely gone. The skyway was built early on in the parks history - bheuett  210.9 #1481 10:17AM
*sniffle* people mover - Lelundrial  341.7 #429 10:19AM

The rocket jets should be brought back! It looks nice to ride it on a higher level - otilegna  882.2 #101 10:44AM

Thank you! I miss them! - ShariRenee  1562.5 #51 10:54AM
So are all the tracks still there for the people mover? Or is it just the outside? And if they're still there which attractions would we be riding through? I remember my favorite part was going through the super fast tunnel that went like .5 miles an hour - Philliprocks  277.5 #753 11:00AM
They are there, but badly damaged and aging. I think that some sections have been removed/altered where they went through other attractions (the star tours 2.0 for sure I know) - Sarafina  398.8 #336 11:02AM
awww great picture. I'm sad I missed the peoplemover and the rocket jets up high. I bet that really made you feel like you were flying through the air! - Sarafina  398.8 #336 11:01AM
Especially at night! - mattc  180.8 #1855 9:44PM
Seeing old DL photos is great. Thanks for sharing. - jlipstone  277.2 #758 11:01AM

Nice. I was never able to reach the height requirement for Rocket Jets before it was closed. - MyPark  944.5 #92 2:08PM
Great pic this is how I remember it and me and my late father used to always ride the old rocket jets and I used to be terrified and I would sit with him and it would all be ok! I miss it like thisπŸ˜₯ - acejedi  22.2 #4881 2:17PM
Those were fun times. - Tealtownfan  693.4 #145 2:18PM

Okay-so people are always raving about the people mover-I never got the pleasure to experience it so can someone please describe where the ride went and what made it so fun. Thanks! - missyandpaul  255.7 #952 3:11PM
Check out this YouTube Video: http://youtu.be/Oggal7RY2ks - DisneyDavidEMT  453.3 #272 5:56PM
Love this picture...it's how I remember it as a kid - cdeley  393.2 #343 3:29PM
I wasn't old enough to have complete memories of this, but I do remember seeing the people mover and sky way. I kinda wish I was able to ride them. Guess I'll never know what it was like :( - DarksidePooh  220.4 #1355 4:06PM
No "Global Warming" Matterhorn like what we have today - KAJi  285.1 #703 4:18PM
Wow! I'm so glad you all enjoyed the picture and I'll let my dad know.πŸ˜ƒ I knew MWers would appreciate seeing these things. - CherryTreeLane  456.5 #270 5:27PM
It's stunning! Tell him thank you! And thank you for sharing! - MrsSchnooks  609.9 #179 5:47PM
Ahh the memories - Dizkid  284.2 #707 5:48PM
I remember the rockets (not sure of the attraction's name unless it's astro orbiter), but I don't think I was ever brave enough to go on them. I loved the people movers because I could experience what space mountain was like before I went on it for the first time. - HasAnyoneSeenMyGlassSlipper  324.3 #507 5:53PM
Thanks for sharing this is a very cool shot. Brings back alot of memories of finally being able to run around the park with my friends. - sstarlight  294.4 #642 9:32PM
Brings back memories when they used to have company parties after hours & we would get on people mover to nap. We were young teenagers & felt so grown up being up late! - ShariRenee  1562.5 #51 9:35PM
Wow, never realized they were up this high. Love seeing old pics of the attractions. - madsdad  1130.7 #72 9:35PM
