A message from Mr. Tom Morrow

transitauthority · Oct 4, 2009

Hi everyone,

Mr. Tom Morrow here.

Was anyone paging me today? I was expecting one but I DID NOT HEAR ONE LIKE I WAS EXPECTING TO.

All I heard was a list of attractions that I previously knew about by reading my map.

Also, my friend with forward facing tentacle now has no idea what he should do with them.

Missing Perfect Park Acres,

Tom Morrow

I was fun Mr. Morrow, I will miss you!

SheenaXena21 · Oct 4, 2009

I hope you are paged soon!!!

GoofyBaby · Oct 4, 2009

I hope you are paged soon too! The new spiel is YUCK-A-ROONEY!

What's particularly disturbing is the apparent lack of ALL regard for the story that was TTA! Mr. Morrow, by removing your page (and everything else about the story from the transcript) they completely removed what was special about the attraction.

You can take your calls from our house; I think I hear the party from Saturn now....

Hey, Tom.

It was sure nice to hear from ya.

Missed you the last time we passed by.

I hope you got a new cell phone battery.

Because, when it dies, we can't page you any more.

When ya get a chance, give me a call.

But, don't try to page me.

By then WDW will have cut off my page, too.

What? I'm confused by this post. We were there Sept 22-27 and heard Mr. Tom Morrow's page and the announcement about forward-facing tentacles.

It changed Friday

Maybe DISers could create a petition with our names signed in a thread and then someone could send them a feedback email with the total number of names and a link to the thread lol. Strength in numbers and all that Mr. Morrow.

jennyraye · Oct 5, 2009

Oh NO! We were there the end of Sept and heard the page. I had looked forward to it the whole trip...and now it's gone?!?! I'm so glad we were able to hear it. Why mess with a good thing?

Kae · Oct 5, 2009

Are you kidding me? they changed it. Now I am bummed. I will report back my thoughts on this after I get back. What a Monday.

This just in from WWDW News-Dis News Agency:

Tom Morrow has been abducted!!!

Although we have never officially met or seen Mr. Morrow, we all know he is a very popular person at Magic Kingdom. Sources deep inside the MIA, (Mickey's Intelligence Agency) has confirmed that Mr. Morrow was abducted while answering a page at the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Offices, by the notorious, maniacal, and just plain ole' not nice guy, Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. From our same source at the MIA, we have uncovered a plan to free Mr. Morrow and restore his good name to the TTA. The plan to rescue Mr. Morrow is being lead by a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal of action, who has a beaver's tail and a bill, and is know to make woman swoon with his call to action. He is none other than Perry the Platypus!! We here at WWDW are with you Perry!! God Speed!

We will keep all of you informed as more information is uncovered about this horrific hostage situation.

Now back to your regularly scheduled postings:

Extra Extra!
Tom Morrow spotted in EPCOT!
Quoted to say he "kept getting harassed by an unseen voice!"

PoohsFan1 · Oct 5, 2009

Mr. Tom Morrow will surely be missed....my DH and I always quote the page no matter where we are at because it cracks us up so much (we have even gotten our girls to say it from time to time). TTA will not be the same. Was that the only thing that has changed about the TTA? I know there was a new lighting system that went in, but the spiel, is it just as corny as the old one? So Mr. Morrow, in your honor, my family will ride TTA in December and salute you just as we hit the area where your page was.

Ktharee · Oct 5, 2009

Wow, we JUST rode it on Tuesday and it was the oldie but goodie.

That was great!!!!!!!!!

FINFAN · Oct 5, 2009

again, true entertainment, originality and unique magic gets booted for generic, mundane dribble. I acknowledge that Disney makes many updates that are indeed improvements. However, they also should leave some as they are/were. Tiki room and TTA narration are 2 of those. Geez, if they wanted to take time to change something, "Sounds Dangerous ( or whatever it's called) with Drew Carey is available! Rarely do you have the opportunity to have nostalgia, humor, sentimentalism, and tribute to Walts vision in one enjoyable ride that does not require FP, skilled timing or leaving out of family members due to size/thrill ride restictions. Is there any part of the new narrations that stands out? That families and friends can relate to and remember? Not really. Was it the actual track ride/tour that makes TTA great, maybe , but the narration was just as respoinsible for the enjoyment of the ride.
Mr. Tom Morrow, I am so sorry you were victimized in such a needless way, and I HOPE if enough of the public informs WDW of their disappointment in your disappearance , you will be returned to your rightful home and contimue to entertain visitors of Tomorrowland. Hear that Disney? TOMORROWland!

Nice one OP

But i to am saddened to this change! :sad1:

johnGorski · Oct 5, 2009

Another threat is saying that they have changed it all togeather when they announce going into each attraction, there is even a U-tube vid of the new one and the old one. Wow it totaly blows! I like the old one with that shouting voice sounding like Phil Hartman.
