WEDway

WEDway is a people mover system using linear induction motor (LIM) technology to propel vehicles along a pair of steel rails.

This system was developed by WED Enterprises (Disney; standing for the initials of Walter Elias Disney[1]) and has been installed at places such as Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom (as Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover) and George Bush Intercontinental Airport (as Subway) in Houston, Texas, United States.

The PeopleMover, once operated at Disneyland from 1967 to 1995, does not use LIM, but instead uses rubber wheels placed every 9 feet along the guide-way to move the cars

The system was planned to be the main commuting method in the planned EPCOT city.
