New Spiel on Monorail and it sounds....

[lttlmc3]

Maybe I don't go down to WDW as often as you guys or maybe I didn't sit and listen to all 16 minutes but i didn't find anything too wrong with it.

I totally agree!

"Monorail Crawl"? Is that when you've had so much to drink that you can only crawl along following the curb?

Google Monorail Crawl and you will see what it is.

Love it!!!!! I only have use of my left hand, so do I hold on to the hand rail, or the beverage????

I have heard of the "Monorail Crawl," but never have done it.

Hold the beverage!

 

[Justin Jett]

Hold the beverage!

.....and stay clear of the doors.

I've heard the spiel - And though it doesn't sound bad it is a little more mundane than the previous voice/version. Hearing it almost puts you to sleep.... ZZZZZzzzzz!

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. Do not want.

I may be alone in this, but I actually like the new spiel. It sounds clean and serves its purpose. The last thing I want at 8AM is an overly enthusiastic narrator and a "magical" music bed.

It sounds like Richard Kiley to me. Now, eventually you might have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour...right?

I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

If it has indeed changed because they are using a computer to generate it I think that's a good thing. It means they can update it more frequently and maybe even seasonally.

It's expensive to book voice actors, and not always convenient. This way they can have it wish you "Happy Holidays" at Christmas time, and maybe even tell you about festivals, events etc happening at the parks.

I think it'll be interesting to hear what they do with it in the future.

It doesn't give you that happy loving welcoming feeling that the pervious one did. Not the Disney feeling we have all come to love but more like this is a company spiel with what they feel you need to know and that's it.

It's a computer voice right? One less voice actor means more bonus for Iger.

 

[15isto2]

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. Do not want.

Agree

For the cost of developing and implementing the software to do a voice that life like would buy a lot of studio time from a voice actor.

I think the computer generated voice makes the spiels more flexible. Believe it or not, there is more to worry about than money at the parks. It's definitely one of the largest concerns, but not the only one.

It sure isn't the same, but when I listened to it I still thought for a second that I could smell that special, monorail "barnyard" smell!

 

[nickyb720]

I think the voice is fine. Not as monotone as some think. But, it kind of sounds like this voice that you first hear when getting to Disney.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGqWlWOs3UQ

It isn't a computer voice. It is ok, just not like the old voice. I just don't get the warm fuzzies with this voice.

 

[*NikkiBell*]

Double yuck! I also don't think the monorails going near MK should have the silly movie decorations. Save that for by Epcot. The ones near MK and the MK resorts should be traditional.

 

[sunshine girl]

I don't get the warm fuzzies either. The old voice had more personality -- it made the spiel feel more "personal" and friendly. I can't figure out why they'd go away from a friendly voice in favor of something kinda void of emotion. Not Disney's usual M.O.!

We're at the contemporary this week (blt) and it took me several monorail rides before I even remembered to listen for the change. It seems fine to me.

And they kept all the monorail history on the epcot loop.
