More than 400 cast members work in Walt Disney World's Central Shops, repairing and refurbishing hundreds of attraction vehicles each year.

Disneyland's newly announced Tomorrowland overhaul has reignited calls from fans to bring back the PeopleMover, a classic attraction shuttered more than three decades ago.

Thomas Mazloum, chairman of Disney Experiences, unveiled the Tomorrowland plans during the D23 fan convention on Aug. 15.

Mazloum offered few specifics about what the reimagining would entail, instead framing the project around Disneyland's upcoming 75th anniversary in 2030 and its future.

"As we approach Disneyland’s 75th anniversary, with an eye toward the horizon and the park's centennial, I think it’s time to renew that promise once again in a way that deeply honors the original and imagines the future with optimism," said Mazloum, as SFGATE and other outlets reported.

"And that starts with Tomorrowland."

The announcement quickly renewed speculation among fans about whether the reimagining could include the return of the PeopleMover.

The PeopleMover was an elevated attraction that carried guests above Tomorrowland. It opened in 1967 and closed in 1995.

The ride carried more than 50 million guests during its 28-year run at Disneyland, according to D23, Disney's official fan organization.

Fans posting comments on a Reddit forum dedicated to Disneyland were quick to call for the PeopleMover's return.

"Just add the PeopleMover and people will be happy," one Redditor wrote.

"PeopleMover, please!" another person pleaded.

Not everyone was convinced the Tomorrowland overhaul would pave the way for the PeopleMover's return.

"It is so light on details it could mean anything," one person wrote. "I wouldn't get my hopes up about it — this could easily be 5-10 years out."
