Tinselman (AKA Myst co-creator Robyn Miller) has written a terrific essay titled "Yesterday's transport of tomorrow," in which he fondly presents the history of novel ways to move people from point A to point B.
Disneyland was chock full of clever transportational devices. Monorails, trains, People Movers, tram cars, boats, buggies, and yes, even a few moving sidewalks. Walt was big into this transportation thing: from an entertainment point of view, convenient transportation was the key to getting tired guests off their feet and keeping them happy. But perhaps more importantly, these vehicles were all part of Walt's vast laboratory – Disneyland was his place to tinker, evolve and perfect some of the hardware required for his much larger vision: a city.
Included in the essay, a link to Walt's last film: "EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow."
