Comments by "Colorme Dubious" (@colormedubious4747) on "EPCOT: Walt Disney's City of the Future" video.
A lot of commenters have been arguing about the term "PeopleMover," as some note the existence of different urban and airport PeopleMover systems. Let's clear that up. "PeopleMover" is commonly a generic term for smaller-scale AGT (Automated Guideway Transit) systems of varying design. Disney's PeopleMover is just one of MANY such designs, specifically known as the "WEDway PeopleMover." There were three of these built in the USA: two in Disney parks and one at IAH in Houston TX. The tracks do NOT "move," as was incorrectly stated in the video. Instead, the WEDway design uses LIM (Linear Induction Motor) technology to propel the trains magnetically. The Detroit PeopleMover is a rail-based design that also uses LIM tech. The Miami MetroMover is a PeopleMover that is basically an elevated electric bus network. The Jacksonville Skyway uses conventional small-scale monorail tech.
