Who is your favorite narrarator for the Peoplemover/TTA?

[figmentgirl]

There have been four narrators for the Peoplemover since it's opening in 1975. Who is your favorite and why?

good question, although I'm wondering what percentage of folks on the DIS remember the first 2.

I chose ORAC-1 myself. My first trip was in summer of '82, but I was 5 and honestly can't remember a single thing about the original narration. I made a couple trips when it was good ole ORAC. While I don't have that narration memorized, what i remember likeing about it was it was a friendly voice, and it also tried to explain a little about how the people mover worked (very brief and very high level, but how it works is a very important part of the attraction)

The 3rd narration was one I never liked while it was there (always felt it was cold and harsh), but now that it's gone, I miss it. Funny how lots of things work that way. The current naration really doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother some, but it doesn't get me excited either.

This is almost exactly how I feel too.

Also, the original narrator is also the guy you here on the monorail (please stand clear of the doors)

Here's a ridethrough with the ORAC-1 for a stroll down memory lane

I've only gotten to experiece the 2 most recent and mostly voted for the pre 2009 one b/c I HATE the new script. Even putting back in Tom Morrow helped but it is still not the same. Nothing against the guys reading it, that script just stinks.

I don't have any knowledge on the first two, as my first visit to WDW was in 1997. However, I really miss the old narrator that they just got rid of!! Not a fan of the new one at all.
