I’m talking about this one….
New rumor: WDW to rename Tomorrowland to "Theme Park Land With Nondescript Roller Coasters.""I don't agree with your assessment, therefor I will be dismissive and state that you are thinking too hard about it."
It is officially called the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover. The sign should say the official name. Even if people don't typically refer to it by the full name. Don't seem like too crazy of a concept to me. Should they replace the "Spaceship Earth" sign with "Epcot Ball" since ThAtS WhAt PeOpLe CaLL iT?
It is also well known that the departments within WDW don't communicate which is why we get stuff like official merchandise incorrectly labeling a character as "Master Gracey" and such. Or why the previous (awful) TTA narration mentioned that the Carousel of Progress was "four families". With the wildly varying levels of talent and experience doing things at WDW these days it would not surprise me in the slightest if the team behind the sign did not even bother to learn the full name of the attraction.

Looks better in front of the support beam compared to the other 2 being behind it..Never understood why they had it that way for the longest time..Some more photos of the new PeopleMover signage.

I forget, do we care about maintenance or do we not? Several months ago, folks were livid over something as minor as temporary vinyl overlays on FastPass signage while they were changing it out for Lightning Lane. Now we're apparently annoyed that they preemptively refreshed a sign before the old one crumbled.This was groundbreaking! I mean... now I can visit the parks. We don't to worry about anything else. Nothing was or could be as pressing as replacing this sign......![]()
And then I show up andI like to think that this is how debate threads from wdwmagic would work in real life.
The implications in the new signage leads to rampant speculation about why the term "TTA" was removed, and maybe that's why there's such angst over this.I forget, do we care about maintenance or do we not?

The only angst seemed to be over the incongruity between the stated official name of the attraction online / in maps versus what appears in Tomorrowland. The new signage actually matches the new narration, where a distinction is made between the TTA as an organization / system and the PeopleMover vehicle itself.The implications in the new signage leads to rampant speculation about why the term "TTA" was removed, and maybe that's why there's such angst over this.

Of all the things to get upset about, this is one of them."I don't agree with your assessment, therefor I will be dismissive and state that you are thinking too hard about it."

I guess it depends on when your childhood happened. For me, it's a return to the way I remember it. Just plain "Peoplemover."Over the years there seems to have been a dimunition of the phrase in signage that probably prefigures dumping "TTA" in lieu of just "People Mover."
Missing accomplished: Childhoods destroyed.
FTFYThis is all just part of a gradual transition to rebranding it as Olivia Rodrigo's Peepsmover.
Especially when one of their personalities was 75% Disney, but now it's all a void, or something!"Remember, when you stop to argue with a crazy person, other people walking by can't tell who's crazy!"
