/* The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover (2009-Present) */
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 however, 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 New Tomorrowland and its backstory. Instead of having a plot, the attraction once again served as a simple tour around Tomorrowland, referencing all of the land's attractions as guests 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 in the narration. Another new feature of the narration was the addition of characters. Buzz Lightyear, Stitch, Mickey, and Roz (from Monsters Inc.) now have speaking lines within the narration. During the renovation, the ride vehicle’s names were once gain changed and are now referred to as the PeopleMover (again) as opposed to the Metroliners. When the attraction re-opened, it was also renamed the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.

He tells them that they will see many of the attractions that they may want to visit later in the day. He also explains that the PeopleMover is the perfect vehicle to people watch from.

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, the PeopleMover enters [[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."}}
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 attraction's 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 and guests are able to see the [[Astro Orbiter ]] in the distance. 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 encourages guests to remember that there 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 Stellar Hair Salon, and the attraction itself. As guests are looking down into the attraction, Buzz Lightyear can be heard over the speakers, inviting them 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. Here 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.
