Someone tell that dude those modern monos are falling apart and we are only 93 years away from the 22nd century.

Originally Posted By goofy47 I guess if they were going to change the speil... They could incorperate the Jungle Cruise speil... If you look over there you can see the back side of MK...

The monorail is definatley one of my favorite things at the Resort and I can't think of a better way to take a super fast tour of the grounds. So all in all, I like the recordings and I love when the doors close, I totally know that part by heart, in English and Spanish! LOL!

I bet you enjoy going to the movies to watch all those commercials theynow play before the previews and movie. <--that's how riding the monorails feel to me now.
Originally Posted By Lucinda54 I love the monorail spiel! I, too, find it comforting and welcoming - just like an old friend who reassures me that some things can stay the same! (However, I do find Stitch VERY annoying - please take him away!) I am so weary of people constantly asking for everything at WDW to be updated and made more "modern" - for Pete's sake, there are many of us who want to return to our favorite place on earth just so we can return to the familiar. With everything in the "outside" world changing at the speed it is, it is so wonderful to know there is a place where we can re-live wonderful memories! Let Disney fiddle with new things to attract new guests, but please don't change the sweet memories that the rest of us look forward to revisiting.

Originally Posted By beamerdog ^^me, too! If the conversation is getting too heavy in the kitchen, my sons will go over to the fridge and press the button ;-) But I agree that sometimes the speil can be less than charming in person.

Originally Posted By danyoung >Well, they managed to resurrect Rod Serling for ToT somehow...< Good point, although what a lot of people don't realize is that, while the video of Rod is really Rod, ALL of the voice is an imitator. So they cheated on that one . . .

Get over it. We are not going anywhere.
