oh dear… that is a bit far off, but it means that you have better chance of PM being up and running again

It’s not too fast, not too slow. The seats face each other so you have the option of side by side or spreading out.
You aren’t forced with others outside your party (mostly).
It’s cooler, both with the mists at loading/unloading. Moving in and out of buildings, plus the wind as you’re moving provide a respite from the humidity.
Seeing people from up top is really cool too. It’s a way to people watch without being too involved for too long.
It’s also one of my favorite ways to watch the fireworks without having to deal with people in my personal bubble.
Lastly, it’s a reminder of the vision Walt had for Epcot.
It’s a top 5 attraction for me personally, and my all time favorite to do with the family, narrowly beating out second place Spaceship Earth due to the fact I I always ride alone on SE. My DS ALWAYS rides with DH.

Are we gonna do this? (well, I am lol)
My top 5:
Splash Mountain
Tower of Terror
Expedition Everest
Rise of the Resistance (I presume)
Soarin’
Of these, 3 are originals, 1 is based on unused IP, and only one is purely current IP.
For me, kinetics (e.g., audioanimatronics), thrill, music, and story are the key.

When I was too short to go on SM, but really wanted to ride it, my parents took me on the people mover to appease me because you could see inside. It was good enough for me, I was so amazed! My kids have never been on the people mover because it has been down every time we go! It makes me sad. They are all tall enough for SM now, so I’m not sure they’ll be as amazed by it as I was. They’ll probably give it the usual teenager snub

In my mind I was making lists including, but not limited to solo vs family, night vs day, private party vs oh my goodness everyone on the planet is in MK right this second, WDW vs DLR. Summer vs Winter etc.
There may have been a couple more but my head is starting to hurt after trying to figure out park reservations with unstable park data and no released hours to date.

Every time I see an update to this thread my heart leaps with hope. They HAVE TO fix it—it’s my favorite ride!
True story: my great-grandma once accidentally rode Space Mountain one time, thinking she was getting on the PeopleMover. Apparently she got some strange looks, as a solo, nearly or actually 80-something year old little old lady. The story goes that she got off and was like, I do not think that was the peaceful ride I meant to go on. 
She was an awesome lady; lived to 97 and loved a beer “with a good head on it.”

It’s my all time favorite to escape the humidity, believe it or not. The perfect hidden attraction that lets me sit and cool down for 5 minutes while I marvel at the set design.

It’s my “reset button” when I’m too hot/tired/cranky.

It would be painfully ironic if they were ready to open because they finally got the ride working, only to have to close it longer because they neglected the moving walkways!
