It's in the Details #9

  In this series, we'll be looking at details that are hidden all around you at the parks. The Imagineers do a great job placing in many hidden gems and things to try that one has to take a moment to notice, or explore. Many of these are obvious and in plain sight, and some are hidden quite well, you just have to know where to look.

  The Peoplemover of WDW has always been a fan favorite, ever since the WEDway Peoplemover appeared at Disneyland in 1967. It's also one of our favorite places, one we try to frequent and ride at least once each trip to the Magic Kingdom. It also happens to be special for another reason now. 
  For many years, it had changed its name to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Blue Line. It was one of several modes of transportation alluded to within Tomorrowland. However, what many people don't know, as they zip along the rails, that they pass by two other lines, Green and Red, once mentioned in the spiel. You just passed a transportation hub for Tomorrowland's denizens! While the name has reverted back to the Peoplemover, you can still find Red and Green in the first tunnel along the route, just after you pass by Walt's Progress City model remnant.



  Technically, you don't actually see Green line, but apparently, crossing the path of your Peoplemover to the left takes you to the Green line, with service to the Hover-burbs of the Land.


    The Red line is interplanetary, taking you across the galaxy to many locations. Here you can see it's a rather snug rocket, ready to take off with its two robot passengers. The current occupant appears drowsy and ready for the trip, while his portly partner appears with ticket in hand.
