===The Tomorrowland Transit Authority (1994-2009)===
In 2009, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority was closed for renovations. Originally, it was stated that the ride was closing to facilitate the 2009 Space Mountain rehab. To the surprise of many, when the TTA re-opened it had a brand new narration. This time the narrator was Mike Brassell, who delivered the narration in a much quieter and emotionless tone. The new narration eliminated all of the references to the New Tomorrowland and it's backstory. Instead of having a plot, the attraction now served as a simple tour around Tomorrowland, referencing all of the lands attractions as it passed by. Attractions such as the [[Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor]] and [[Stitch's Great Escape]] which had not previously been mention on the TTA, were now included. Another new feature of the narration, was the addition of characters. Buzz Lightyear, Stitch, Mickey and Roz (from Monsters Inc.) now have lines in the narration. The ride vehicles are now referred to as the PeopleMover as opposed to the Metroliner. When the attraction re-opened, it was also renamed the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority begins with the narrator telling guests to sit back and relax. He tells them that they will see many of the attractions that they may want to visit later. He also explains that the PeopleMover is ththe perfect vehicle to people watch from. After leaving the station, the train rolls above Stitch's Great Escape. Here, the narrator tells guests that they can report for duty for the Galatic Federation, to try to keep Stitch under control. Guests then here Stitch taunting them saying, "I don't think so!".  After passing Stitch's Great Escape, guests enter the tunnel where Progress City is held. The narrator then tells them that the model was inspired by Walt's ideas for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrrow. To their right, guests can still see the intersection of the Red and Green lines. This seems to simply be a remnant of the old TTA, as the lines are never mentioned in the narration. After going past Progress City, the PeopleMover rolls through another tunnel, past Mickey's Star Traders. The narrator then tells guests that Mickey's Star Traders has the greatest goods in the galaxy. Mickey then agrees saying, "That's right it's out of this world!". As guests emerge from the tunnel, they can see the Tomorrowland Speedway below. The narrator invites guests to try the attraction and "race to the checkered flag".  After passing the Speedway, guests enter Space Mountain. Here, the narrator then tells guests:  {{Quotation|"We're now entering one of the real wonders of our world: Space Mountain. Blast off on a high speed rocket adventure and convene to the cosmos."}} Inside Space Mountain guests also here a slightly altered version of the famous Tom Morrow line. A female voice now is heard saying, {{Quotation|"Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow, please contact Mr. Johnson in the control tower to confirm you flight to the moon. Both Tom Morrow and Mr. Johnson are references to the defunct Tomorrowland attraction [[Flight To the Moon]] and its predecessor [[Mission to Mars]]. While inside Space Mountain, guests are also able to hear the attractions new soundtrack and see part of the new postshow. As they are exiting the tunnel, the narrator reminds them to, "Be sure to visit Space Mountain for an adventure that's out of this world". Continuing on, the Peoplemover once again travels over the Tomorrowland Speedway. Guests are able to see the Astro Orbiter in the distance, that the narrator informs them that, "For a different high-flying adventure take a spin around the Astro Orbiter.". After passing the Astro Orbiter, the train runs alongside Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. As the train moves by, the narrator explains the basic premise and the history of the attraction. He tells guests that the show celebrates progress, and to remember that their is always a "Great big beautiful Tomorrow, shining at the end of every day.". After leaving the Carousel, the PeopleMover arrives at Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. Once again, guests can look through the right windows to see both the Inter Steller Hair Salon, and the attraction itself. As guests are looking down into the attraction, Buzz Lightyear can be head over the speakers, inviting guests to report to their Space Cruiser, and help him stop the evil Emperor Zurg. The trains then pass by the final Tomorrowland attraction, the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, where Roz tells them to "keep it moving.". The PeopleMover then arrives back at Rockettower Plaza where the narrator tells them that although this is then end of their tour, the PeopleMover itself never stops. ==Fun Facts and Trivia== *20% of the magnets on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority can fail, and the attraction will still run properly.  *The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover travels at a speed of about 10 feet per second. *In the loading and unloading area however, it travels at 2.7 feet per second. ==References==http://waltdatedworld.bravepages.com/id219.htm http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/magic-kingdom/attractions/tomorrowland-transit-authority/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6EnR8fxcs4
