Originally Posted By brotherdave Perhaps it's the audio quality, but the new narrator sounds like he has some sort of cartoonish style speech impediment or lisp, almost like the beaver from Lady and the Tramp or Gopher from Winnie the Pooh. If that's true, that's very dissapointing. But it didn't sound that way during the entire recording, so perhaps it's a recording echo of some sort by the person who made it. However, the use of the name "Peoplemover" is very encouraging and welcome as is using the original Monorail theme. A major plus there. The use of Disney characters seemed rather minimal, only when going near or through that attraction giving a one or two line 'plug' for their attractions. (Like Stitch for Stitch's Great Escape, Buzz Lightyear for Space Ranger Spin). That I can live with. It's not that intrusive and mildly plugs the attractions in question. Overall, the new narration isn't that bad from what I could tell. I just hope that the lisp is just feedback on the audio...

There would still be trenches in the streets. Regardless, it sounds like they are going retro and back to the way it originally was. So those that couldn't handle change back then are given a gift. I really wouldn't be surprised if it ends up completely different then what we just heard when it is all complete anyway.

Originally Posted By leobloom I can't believe how many people are complaining about losing the Tom Morrow line. You'd think it was written by Walt Disney himself, the way some people have acted like the ride is ruined without that ONE line (which was a cute in-joke but nothing more in the first place).

As you leave it is still silent till you reach the entrance for space where he talks about the astro orbitor... There isn't even a mention from the lawyers about keeping your arms and hands in the vehicle when heading into the parallel section towards and from space mountain. It sounds like they are still finishing the positions of the sound and such, and Mickey sounds like the new voice to me..
