|custom_value_2= No}}The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros is an attraction located in the [[Mexico]] pavilion at [[Epcot]].==Attraction History=====El Rio Del Tiempo===The attraction that would one day be known as the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros, began as an idea for the unbuilt Mexico pavilion. Initially, Disney's plans called for the pavilion to feature an attraction titled "Las Tres Culturas de Mexico"<ref> http://www.lostepcot.com/worldshowcase.html </ref>. This indoor/outdoor boat ride was to take gusts on a tour of three distinct periods of Mexico's history. Beginning with pre-colombian Mexico, the attraction would then travel through the country's colonial period, before arriving in modern Mexico. The ride's storyline came from a Mayan myth which told about the gods taking the gift of music from the jealous sun, and giving it to the songless Earth <ref name="Martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?p=963 </ref>. The myth concludes with the idea that "Life was all music from that time on”. The attraction's structure was influenced by two Magic Kingdom attractions. Like [[If You Had Wings]], the attraction would feature rear projected film screens in physical sets. Likewise, the attraction's "colonial scene" would feature singing dolls and a repetitive song in the same vein as [[Tomorrowlandit's a small world]]<ref name="Martin"/>.

==History===== Original Concept===When Walt Disney and his Imagineers originally created the concept for the PeopleMoverAlthough Les Tres Cultras de Mexico was far along in its development, they saw it as the transportation of the future. The concept called for a series of trains Disney decided that guests would sit on, which would follow a guided track. When eventually put into practice, Disneyland’s PeopleMover also used Goodyear tires, with their own motors to propel the trains along the tracks. Walt thought that one day, PeopleMover attraction would be the easiest and cleanest method of urban transportation <ref>http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/walt_disney_worldpushed back to EPCOT Center's_magic_kingdom/tomorrowland_transit_authority_peoplemover s Phase II<ref name="Martin"/ref>. If fact, traveling by PeopleMover was going According to these plan's the attraction's lagoon and load area would be one of built, with a space left open for the main modes of transportation in his boat ride itself to be constructed at a later date. These plans changed however when [[Experimental Prototype Community of TomorrowGermany]] ’s planned Rhine River Cruise attraction was cancelled along with the Japan pavilion's Meet the World show<ref> https:name="Martin"//sites>.googleCompounded by the fact that the plans for an Equatorial Africa pavilion were also shelved, Disney had a capacity issue.com/site/theoriginalepcot/With no other rides in World Showcase, the-florida-project area would not have enough attractions to meet its expected guest capacity <ref name= "Martin"/>. As a remedy for this situation, Disney decided to make Las Tres Culturas de Mexico an opening day attraction, changing the attraction’s name to El Rio del Tiempo. In order to complete the attraction (and pavilion) on time, the rides length was shortened by 40% and moved completely inside <refname= "Martin"/>.

Although the technology never became as widespread as Walt might have hopedFollowing a very quick construction, in 1967 the PeopleMover El Rio Del Tiempo opened as an attraction in Disneyland. The attraction consisted with the rest of 62 trains which took guests [[EPCOT Center]] on an elevated tour around Tomorrowland. Since the trains never stoppedOctober 1, guests stepped on 1982 <Ref>https://d23.com/a moving platform -to align themselves with, and board the trains-z/el-r%C3%ADo-del-tiempo/</ref>. Although the track was not covered, each of attraction had been quite popular at the individual cars were. Each time of cars also had their own speakersits opening, from which they could hear attendance began to drop during the rides narration1990s. The attraction was often billed as During this time, rumors were prevalent that the "Future of transportationattraction would be replaced by a new Donald Duck attraction; however when El Rio Del Tiempo closed for refurbishment in 1999, here today!" no such change took place <ref> http://www.yesterlandwdwmagic.com/peoplemoverattractions/el-rio-del-tiempo/news/27jul1999-el-rio-del-tiempo-refurbishment-update.html htm </ref>. Instead, at this time, the attraction was cleaned up and given new paint, just in time for Epcot’s Millennium Celebration.

===Creation in Walt Disney WorldGran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros===On January 2, 2007, El Rio Del Tiempo was closed for a major refurbishment <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/el-rio-del-tiempo.htm </ref>. At this time, it was decided that the attraction would recieve a new storyline featuring José Carioca, Panchito Pistoles, and Donald Duck, from the 1944 Disney movie The Three Caballeros. According to director George Scribner:[[Image:PeopleMover1975FietaDonald.jpg|400px350px|thumb|Donald Duck touring Mexico on the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The WEDWay PeopleMover in 1975. Photo Credit: Disney.Three Caballeros]]Although the PeopleMover was not an opening day attraction, there were quickly plans to add the attraction to Disney World’s Tomorrowland. {{Quotation|"When the park opened in 1971I started at Walt Disney Imagineering, Tomorrowland was not yet completevice president Tom Fitzgerald had this idea, and as such there was " George Scribner said. "So I said, 'What if it's a scarcity of attractionsconcert they're going to perform but Donald gets lost? Jose and Panchito would have to find him through Mexico and that would take us to different places. To help finish ' Once we got the landOK, a version of we went to Mexico to film the PeopleMover was constructed along live-action footage that would be combined with [[Space Mountain]]Eric's animation<ref name= "Wade"> https://www. The Disney World version of the attraction was named the WEDWay PeopleMover, and it opened on July 1, 1975mouseplanet.com/8216/The_Three_Caballeros_Return </ref>. }}

Instead of using GM tires as the Disneyland attraction didOverall, the Walt Disney World version used linear induction motors (which were magnetically powered, and thus pollution free)physical sets that had been featured in El Rio Del Tiempo remained mostly intact. Because In fact, the only set changes in the attraction no longer used GM tires howevertook place in the ride's final scene, General Motors decided not to sponsor where the Florida version of carousel was replaced with an outdoor stage. During the attraction. The WEDWay PeopleMover refurbishment, a mural was instead sponsored by also added to the Edison Electric Institute load area <ref> http:name= "Wade"//waltdatedworld.com/id219.htm </ref>. Another difference between the two attractions was that while the Disneyland PeopleMover featured ''covered cars with and uncovered track'', the Walt Disney World, WEDWay PeopleMover featured a ''covered track with uncovered cars''.

The WEDWay PeopleMoverWhile the El Rio Del Tiempo sets remained in place, like its Disneyland counterpart, took guests on a tour around Tomorrowland. The original version of new screens were added throughout the attraction was narrated by Disney voice artist, Jack Wagner, featuring brand new animation of The Three Caballeros. Scribner and art director Eric Goldberg (who pointed out animated the various Tomorrowland attractions characters) wanted this animation to guests. When it opened, have the WEDWay PeopleMover originally passed through, or by: The [[Carousel same look and feel of Progress]], If You Had Windsthe original Three Caballeros film, including the Circle-Vision 360 Theater, Flight work done by Ward Kimball and Fred Moore <ref name= "Wade"/>. In addition to the Moonnew animation, new live-action scenes were filmed in Mexico, and Space Mountaina new soundtrack was written for the attraction. This soundtrack included not only the song "The attraction also drove over Three Caballeros" from the [[Tomorrowland Speedway]] and under the [[Star Jets]]original film, where the loading and unloading station was located but also a new theme titled "Paso Doble" written by Richard Bellis<ref> http:name= "Wade"//land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2009/10/tta_tomorrowland_transit_autho.html </ref>.

===Changes Since 1975===Although the track layout and basic premise of the WEDWay PeopleMover have remained pretty much the same, the narration and the attraction name have changed quite frequently throughout its history. The original Jack Wagner narration was used from 1975 until 1985. During this time the only major change Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros officially opened to the narration came when America the Beautiful closedguests on April 6, and Magic Carpet Around the World replaced it2007 <ref> https://www. In 1985, the rides narrator was changed to, ORAC-1 "The Commuter Computer"mouseplanet. The new narration stuck mostly to the same script; however it was lighter in tonecom/10926/Remembering_the_Magic_El_Rio_del_Tiempo__Gran_Fiesta_Tour_Starring_The_Three_Caballeros </ref>. While ORAC-1 was the narratorFurthermore, Delta Dreamflight replaced If You Had Wings. Due to at this change, time the windows [[San Angel Inn]] was expanded into an area that once looked into If You Had Winds, no longer lined up with the attraction's scenes. Because was previously part of this, the first window was replaced with panels depicting the Delta Dreamflight's barnstormer scene. El Rio Del Tiempo <Ref name= "epcotbook">The second window which looked into Delta DreamflightEpcot Explorer's Parisian Excursion scene, however the angle ruined the forced perspective that the attraction used. The third window (the left one) would have had guests looking directly into a bright light, so it was covered with black fabric which blocked guests view. The only other major change Encyclopedia: A Guide to happen during ORAC-1Walt Disney World's narration was the removal of the Magic Carpet Around the World in the Circle-Vision 360 Theater, and the addition of its replacement American Journeys <ref> http://waltdatedworld.com/id219.htm Greatest Theme Park </ref> .

In 1995On December 4, in order to correspond with the opening 2015, Animatronics of the New Tomorrowland, the WEDWay PeopleMover went under a significant refurbishment. The original track which was white and very smooth looking was replaced with a darker, metallic looking track. A new narration was also Three Caballeros were added to the attraction, this time done by Pete Renaday. The new narration focused on TomorrowlandGran Fiesta Tour's new backstory, and made references finale <ref name= "D23"> https://d23.com/after-35-years-historic-three-caballeros-figures-return-to -walt-disney-world-resort/ </ref>. The figures had previously appeared in the fact that Tomorrowland was an intergalactic meeting placeformer [[Magic Kingdom]] attraction the [[Mickey Mouse Revue]], although they had been absent from Walt Disney World for 35 years <ref name= "D23"/>. Additions and changes during Pete Renaday's time as the narrator include:

* ==Plot=====El Rio Del Tiempo <ref name= "epcotbook"/>===[[Image:ElDancersskel.jpg|400px|thumb|The Carousel mariachi skeletons in Festival of Progress being renamed Walt Disneythe Children scene in El Rio Del Tiempo]]El Rio Del Tiempo began with guests boarding their boats and heading off towards a large Mayan pyramid. The boats then entered ancient ruins. Here, a statue of a Mayan High Priest would come to life and speak to the passing boats. Guests were also told that long ago a great civilization had flourished in Mexico. All around the room, one could see various natives performing different rituals. The first ritual, was an elaborate dance titled "Nature and Science". This dance spoke to the native's Carousel understanding of man's relationship with the universe. The second ritual performed was titled "Mathematics and Astronomy". This dance highlighted the advanced understanding that the Mayan people had about these subjects (including their understanding of absolute zero). Finally, the third ritual shown was titled "Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca". This dance spoke of the native's views on the never ending struggle between good and evil, as personified in a battle between the feathered serpent of light and the tiger god of darkness. Before exiting ancient Mexico, guests would see Aztec King Moctezuma II (who would lose his kingdom to Spain) predicting the subjugation of Progresshis people.

* A change in As Panchito and Jose fly high above Mexico, Donald Duck is shown below wearing souvenirs and taking photos. As guests enter the narration so next scene, they see that Federal Express was removed as Panchito and Jose are still searching for Donald. Other screens in the sponsor room show points of Space Mountain interest in 2004Mexico, including a Mayan pyramid and a gondola.

In 2009 in conjunction with the Space Mountain refurbishment, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority was once again closed for refurbishment. Disney said that it was necessary to close the attraction, so that maintenance workers could work Continuing on Space Mountain. At this time, guests enter the attraction also received next room where they see Donald chasing after a new narration <ref> http://attractionsmagazine.com/video-ride-the-updated-tomorrowland-transit-authority-tta-at-the-magic-kingdom/ </ref>. The narration eliminated the New Tomorrowland backstory, and many of the in-jokes and references parasailing boat that came is driving away with ithis swimsuit. New attractions such as [[Stitch's Great Escape!]] Overhead, Jose and the [[MonstersPanchito leave a smoke message for Donald, Incwhich reads, “donde esta Donald?” (where is Donald).

During the time that Mike Brassell When they ask a waiter if he has narrated seen a duck, the attraction; the only major change has been the re-addition of the famous Tom Morrow lineman humorously shows them a roasted duck, now located in [[Space Mountain]]causing them to flee (this scene rotates with other gags, and may vary).

==Attraction Plot==The plot of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority revolves around guests taking a tour of Tomorrowland. Originally, this involved pointing out the various attractions located within the land. With the creation of New Tomorrowland in 1994, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority also told the land's new backstory and the narration became more creative. Since the 2009 refurbishment the attraction has gone back to being a simple tour of Tomorrowland.''José Carioca'''-Rob Paulsen

===WEDWay PeopleMover Plot (1975'''Panchito Pistoles'''-1994)===[[ImageCarlos Alazraqui <Ref> http:ttaposter//www.jpg|thumb|400px|The original WEDWay PeopleMover posterwdwradio.]]On the WEDWay PeopleMover, guests would board their trains from the moving platform. The narrator would then welcome guests on behalf of the Edison Electric Institute. After leaving the loading area, the PeopleMover would head towards [[Mission to Mars]]. The narrator would point out the attraction, and also mention that across the way, guests could see [[America the Beautiful]]. This part of the attraction was changed when America the Beautiful became [[Magic Carpet Around the World]] and then again when American Journey's replaced that. After passing Mission to Mars, the trains would enter a tunnel, where guests could see the model for [[Progress City]]. The narrator would tell guests that this was a preview of the future in the City of Tomorrow. After exiting the tunnel, the PeopleMover passed over the [[Grand Prix Raceway]]. After pointing the attraction out, the narrator would also tell guests that [[Space Mountain]] was ahead. After the train went into Space Mountain, the narrator drew guest’s attention to RCA's Home of Future Living, which was located in the postcom/2014/09/disney-show, as PeopleMover riders could get an excellent view of some of Space Mountain’s posttwenty-show scenes. The narrator would also remind guests that they did not have to ride Space Mountain to see the Home of Future Living. something-gran-fiesta-tour-starring-three-caballeros/ </ref>

As the trains left Space Mountain, the narrator pointed out the [[Skyway]] which hung above guests. He also informed them that there were "no moving parts in (the PeopleMover's) clean, quiet motor". The narrator also told guests that across the way, they could see the Contemporary Resort, and the monorail that ran through it. After seeing the hotel, riders would move past the [[Carousel of Progress]]. As they did, the narrator would inform them about some of the history behind the attraction, including its introduction at the 1964 World's Fair. As the PeopleMover continued on, it would enter a tunnel which ran alongside [[If You Had Wings]]. Originally, when passing through this tunnel guests could look down into the attraction, through three windows. The first window showed the Trinidad scene, the second window the Jamaica scene, and the third window the Mexico scene. As the PeopleMover went through the tunnel, the If You Had Wings theme song would play. After If You Had Wings was replaced by Delta Dreamflight, the left window was covered, leaving only the two right windows. 'Director'''-George Scribner

After exiting the tunnel, the narrator would tell guests that in the distance, they could see Cinderella Castle. He would also mention that they could dine at King Stefan's Banquet Hall, which was located inside the castle. After this, the PeopleMover would arrive back at the loading station and the narrator would then thank guests saying:''Animation Director'''- Eric Goldberg

{{Quotation| “Now as we approach the PeopleMover station, our Grand Circle tour of Tomorrowland is coming to an end, but not to a stop, aboard this transportation system that never stops. On behalf of the Edison Electric Institute for your electric company, we hope you've enjoyed your trip aboard this electric transportation system of tomorrow, here today."}}''Art Direction (Animation)'''- Susan Goldberg

===The Tomorrowland Transit Authority (1994'''Music Arrangement'''-2009)===[[Image:Redline.jpg|400px|thumb|A glimpse of the Red Line can be seen inside the Interplanetary Convention Center.]]The WEDWay PeopleMover was refurbished in 1994, as part of the New Tomorrowland. When the attraction re-opened it was renamed the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and Pete Renaday took over as the narrator. The attraction now focused on the New Tomorrowland backstory, and included a much more creative narration. Richard Bellis

Beginning in 1994, The Tomorrowland Transit Authorities’ vehicles were called Metroliners, and the attraction was narrated by an announcer in TTA Central. In conjunction with the New Tomorrowland backstory, the Metroliners were referred to as one of the many possible methods of transportation in Tomorrowland. According to the backstory there were also three different "lines" that the TTA offered, which were: *The Blue Line, which was what guests were currently riding on. The line was an elevated train system that ran throughout Tomorrowland. *The Red Line, which was the transportation system that would take riders "off planet". This was the line that Tomorrowland residents could take to anywhere in the galaxy.  *The Green Line, which was a line that would take guests to the "Hover-Burbs", Tomorrowland's suburbs. Although the Red and Green Lines were referenced, guests could only catch a glimpse of the Red Line. Inside the Interplanetary Convention Center, the two lines would intersect and guests could see stationary dioramas of a robot waiting for his rocket to launch on the Red Line. Although the Blue Line narration referenced many stations, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority consisted of a round-trip ride to Rockettower Plaza. Guests boarded the attraction underneath the Astro Orbiter, and the TTA announcer welcomed them to the TTA Blue Line. He then explained to guests that they were about to take a round-trip tour from Rockettower Plaza, aboard "Tomorrowland's Super Skyway!".  The first sight that the Metroliner passed was the Interplanetary Convention Center. On their left, guests could see the model of Progress City. The narrator informed guest's that the model was sponsored by the Tomorrowland Metro Retro Historical Society. On the rider’s right, they could see a scene that depicted the Red Line. As the Metroliner continued on, it would pass through a tunnel which overlooked MickeySenior Show Producer's Star Traders. Here the narration told guests that "For your convenience, the ground crew will be glad to rocket 'ship' you to any planet in the galaxy". After emerging from the tunnel, guests would pass over the Tomorrowland Speedway. Here Mr. Johnson gave the Tomorrowland traffic report. He would always remark that, "As usual the traffic was always perfect on Tomorrowland super-highways".  The narrator would then announce that the Metroliner was approaching Space Mountain. As the Metroliner entered the building, the narrator informed them that Space Mountain was Tomorrowland's gateway to the galaxy (from 1994-2004, he would also mention that it was sponsored by Federal Express). Inside Space Mountain, guests could look down into the pre and post show scenes. It was also possible to see the Space Mountain trains fly by in the dark. A dispatcher from Space Mountain would announce: {{Quotation| "Greetings from Space Mountain dispatch. High-speed rockets are now boarding to blast off to all intergalactic destinations. Departures out of space every few seconds from all launch areas"}} After exiting Space Mountain the narrator would say, "As you can see, Space Mountain makes ordinary space travel an adventure. Another fine service provided by the Tomorrowland Transit Authority." Just outside of Space Mountain, riders would often pass other Metroliners going into the attraction. The trains would run within an arm's length of each other. A female would then begin talking, saying "All visitors from Galaxy M31, please keep forward facing tentacles clear of oncoming Metroliner vehicles (a tongue-in-cheek safety announcement).  As the TTA moved forward, guests could see the Astro Orbiter in the distance. The Narrator would then inform guests that:  {{Quotation|"The center of piece of Rockettower Plaza is the League of Planets Astro Orbiter. This symbol of universal harmony and inter-planetary fellowship provides all beings with an exhilarating spin around the planets."}} The female voice then told guests that the "TTA services all of Tomorrowland's outlying areas, including the personal rocket ship docking lot, and of course Perfect Park Acres, the latest in Hover-Burb Communities". She would then utter the attractions signature line:[[Image:blueline.jpg|400px|thumb|The Tomorrowland Transit Authority logo from 1994-2009.]]{{Quotation|"Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow, your party from Saturn has arrived.}} At this point, the Metroliner reached the Carousel of Progress, which the narrator pointed out to guests. After passing the Carousel, the TTA drove through a tunnel which was located next to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. Here, the narrator told guests that they could join Buzz and help stop the Evil Emperor Zurg. If guests looked to their right, they would see two windows. The first showed a diorama of the Inter Stellar Hair Salon. The second window allowed guests to look down into the Robot Attack scene of the attraction. From 1994 until 2005, when the TTA came out of the tunnel the narrator would announce that the TTA was" Now Approaching Metropolis Science Center". He would then continue:  {{Quotation|"Be here today at Metropolis Science Center is the greatest invention of all time. A Time Machine! Be sure and stop by to meet the inventor, the Timekeeper. He'd Love to take the time, to take you through time!"}} This announcement was a reference to the [[Timekeeper]] attraction, which operated in Tomorrowland from 1994 until 2004. Following this announcement The Metroliner would then come back around to Rockettower Plaza, where the narrator would give one final line: {{Quotation|"Welcome back to Rockettower Plaza at the heart of Tomorrowland. Come now, re-join us, and believe in the promise of tomorrow!"}} ===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. [[Image:TTAnewentrancesiebyside.jpg|500px|thumb|The TTA entrance sign (left) and the new Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover sign (right)]]The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover 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 in the day. He also explains that the PeopleMover is the 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 Galactic 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 tells them that the model was inspired by Walt's ideas for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. To their right, guests can still see the intersection of the Red and Blue Lines (from the old TTA backstory). This seems to simply be a remnant of the old TTA, as the lines are never mentioned in the new 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, 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."}} Inside Space Mountain guests hear 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 your [[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 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.Lori Coltrin
