Or maybe "Don't forget to hang on to them hats and glasses, folks, cuz this here's the wildest ride in the WILderness" from Big Thunder. I don't think any of us Disney enthusiasts really care about those classic lines, anyway.
They did sorta mess with Big Thunder when they added the spanish version of the spiel, half the time I miss it now because it feels rushed and muted

I understand things have to evolve with time, but can't we keep just a little of the old too? Now I am even more worried the changed Star Tours will be more of the same...
Agreed. Spaceship Earth's redo was terrible and I am sure the Mexican people are proud that Donald Duck is such a rich part of their heritage. As for Star Tours, well George Lucas will play a big role, so I am sure it will be as good as Episode 1-3

Maybe we should send Disney some e-mails regarding our disappointment, just in case they really are going to see how the change is received?

I also read somewhere that this new spiel is closer to what the original spiel was for the PeopleMover in DL. But I have no memory of that.
Anyway I noticed in this thread a lot of complaints about the "commercial" aspect of rides at WDW. And I just wanted to share this thought for some perspective. When Walt originally built DL he intended it for two main purposes 1)a place where parents can have fun with their children 2)to promote his products.
Just make it entertaining...and I think that is what is missing from the new TTA spiel.

I feel the the refurbishments being made lately leave off the fun factor. I am 51 and love the slap stick in the rides, it is the kid in me. I think sometimes Disney takes the goofy stuff out because the "crowd is older", but we are all kids when we enter the gates. I will miss the old verbage. I love the ride.

Okay, so I read through each and every one of the 65 replies to this thread. Some of us posted more than once, so being more than generous and tossing 15 posts that would leave 50 individual responses in this thread.
Not one person said they were happy about this change. Not a single, solitary, ONE.
Which truly begs the question ... does Disney even know what their guests want anymore??? Do they even care???

We've stayed away from WDW for four years because of stupid changes like this. We're coming back so we can enjoy the things that aren't at Disneyland. I sure hope that I'm not going to find disappointment after disappointment.

there's a youtube of the "WEDway Peoplemover Front Car Ride-through 1991"
where you can hear the audio. Back then it was pretty much a tour of tomorrow land too pointing out different attractions, but also giving fun facts (how the wedway works, that it could travel up to 40mph but is going to stay at 10, that space mountain is Florida's third largest mountain). I think the current audio (from what i can hear) could use some livening up and levity added.
There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere.

I understand what you're saying. However, I think Walt's intention was to more promote or tie in his movies and television shows to attractions in the parks. I don't necessarily think a ride in Tomorrowland needs to advertise OTHER rides in Tomorrowland. It was one thing when the TTA audio would say "Now approaching...", because it was supposed to be the TRANSIT AUTHORITY, and when you're on public transportation, that's what happens.
But the way they are wording the audio these days on the attractions sounds more like the Resort T.V. channel that exists SOLELY to do this sort of "advertising". It's cheesy.

I don't disagree with your statement. The Now Approaching...way was still technically advertising but it was clever and fit with the theme of the ride. The new is bland and doesn't fit as well. I hope they can make it better.

Just wait until they re do fantasy land! I'm sure they will get rid of alot of the older stuff that we are used to. What that will be I'm not sure but I'm sure it won't be the same as it is now.

Yea at this point they might as well replace the main character in CoP with Wall-e. The classic announcer voice goes hand in hand with the theme of CoP....Bummer dude.
Pimpin aint dead.... its just renamed.... Frozen.

OK, I just watched a video of the updated version with the audio. I really wasn't bothered by it at all. Oh sure, I missed hearing Mr. Johnson in the Skyview 1 Hovercraft but it really wasn't bad at all. I read the posts on here about the entry in Stitch on the ride but was relieved that all he said was "I don't think so" in answer to a comment about keeping him under control. That's it. Thank goodness.
The audio also includes Mickey Mouse commenting on Star Traders and Buzz Lightyear.
The majority of the ride is quiet with interspersed comments from the narrator. That's fine with me. I liked the audio before but, aside from expecting certain commenst at various points, I was pretty much there for the relaxing ride.
Y'all had me scared on this thread. This wasn't nearly as bad as it was led up to be. We go in 24 days and I'll sit back and relax and enjoy as I always do. I love the TTA......
