Jack Wagner's Famous Monorail Message - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Can any one tell me where I can find the "please stand clear of the doors" ring tone for my cell phone? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

The new spiel is just terrible. Doesn't sound natural at all. It is probably all computerized so that they can change and update through the year for events, etc.

I will miss hearing Joe Hursh's voice over the monorail for his enthusiastic tone, rather than the new bland voice over. I realize that this new voice is more similar to the original, but it just doesn't have the same Disney feeling to me.

Does anyone know if the buses have the new voice, or is it still Joe Hursh?

Yes. I was there yesterday and it is new. The "Please Stand Clear of The Doors.." is still the same. Just the other stuff is new. I really dont kind the new voice!!!

I've quoted the first part of the article....

Quote:

That voice you've been hearing on the monorails at Walt Disney World has changed.

Disney recently made the subtle change to a new narrator aboard the monorail system, shifting from Orlando-area veteran voice actor Joe Hursh.

Hursh's voice has been heard by millions of visitors to Walt Disney World every year since 2004. He had been the one who said, "Welcome aboard the Walt Disney World express monorail, your highway in the sky to the Magic Kingdom."

Hursh still does voice work for Disney and other companies like Party City and AAA plus runs a paper-shredding company, Shredder Experts, in Altamonte Springs.

"I've been in the business for about 25 years," Hursh said. "I do so much stuff, I didn't even know it was gone."

There is one featured voice of the monorail that isn't changing, and that's the original voice of the monorail system, a voice actor named Jack Wagner who famously speaks the lines, "Please Stand Clear of the Doors. Por favor manténganse alejado de las puertas."

If you need a new voice ok yeah I get it but why did you employ Microsoft Sam to do the job? Yeesh.

I'm a little surprised that I'm surprised that some of you know the names of the voice actors doing a monorail or bus speil and care if it is changed.

And Jack was the voice of Disney for so long.

Jack's voice is still being used

It's Joe Hursh who is being replaced.

I posted this week on the "Transportation" thread that the announcement on the tram at the Orlando Intl. Airport had been changed. It seems that Jack Wagner was also the voice of the announcement but now is gone.

Really? I wonder why. But I'm going there next Fri. I will see what the new one is hopefully it isn't bad like the new monorail.
