Rocket Rods, man. I could never remember what they were called. They were only at Disneyland for like, 2 years.
“The Rocket Rods completed the course of the 16-minute PeopleMover in only about 3 minutes. Because the Rocket Rods project was not given a large enough budget to bank the track’s curves, the Rocket Rods had to slow down substantially to maneuver most of the turns. The support structure and track originally built for the PeopleMover was not meant to be used for a high speed attraction and began to weaken. The constant changes in speed caused the vehicles’ on-board computer systems to fail, shutting down the entire attraction. The attraction broke down at least once a day, causing queues of up to three hours. It was not uncommon for guests to receive rain check passes to ride on another day.”
So in other words, this ride was going to start fucking killing people, so they shut it down. Haha.
