TTA gets renamed
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority will got a new name!
Here's the story from the Disney Parks Blog:
"Not sure whether it’s a case of back to the future or forward to the past or the past meets the present, but: a long-running Tomorrowland attraction is getting a new (well, sort of new) name …
As of today, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, the “super skyway” that allows guests a glimpse of a variety of attractions in Tomorrowland of Magic Kingdom, will be renamed:
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.
The ride opened in 1975 as the WEDway PeopleMover. It has been called Tomorrowland Transit Authority since 1994.
The ride technology, which uses pollution-free linear induction motors, was developed by WED Enterprises (that’s what Disney Imagineering was called back in the day) and was introduced at Disneyland in California in 1967. While the attraction at Disneyland has long been closed, there is a place other than Walt Disney World Resort where guests can experience an application of the WED technology. Any guesses as to where?"
Well, what do you think? I'm seeing that Disney is going back to the bast this year (see Captain EO, Peoplemover...), and that's great! Now, give us back World of Motion, Horizon, Wonders of Life, Journey into Imagination, Mr. Toad's Wild ride and we'll all be happy!!!
Switching out a name or a film is a little easier than a multi-million dollar refurb to a ride that was removed for being out-of-date.
ReplyDeleteYeah, i know, I was just daydreaming...
ReplyDeleteBut those rides were not out-of-date in my opinion!
Those were really great....
