wdwtube has provided a great video with good audio quality of the new narration.
OUT WITH POCOHANTAS TIE IN AND IN WITH THE JACK SPARROW SYNERGY!
The big changes as expected were mentioning of the new fantasyland area in the works as well as managing to fit in jack sparrow.
The timing seems to need work yet.
here is a link to the video. http://www.wdwntube.com/2010/12/24/walt-disney-world-railroad-122310/
Overall nothing offensivly different. I have a feeling much of this one is temporary besides just the obvious fantasyland bit.
Personally, I am gonna miss the jungle music and noises when going into Adventureland.

It's a totally new voice. New talk about strollers, blah. Pocahontas is gone, that is better, since she was never there. The old Tomorrowland area music is gone 
and it seems like there is no music at all
It's standard, and it's alright, kinda feels like it has less character than the last narrator.

I will agree there. I was just expecting worse with what we get a lot of times anymore. I especially agree on the music. I miss the jungle sounds and music. to me, seeing the shakey lanterns on the train and hearing that chime in with the narration...was me knowing I really was there at MK when growing up and going over the years.
We know it will at least have to change or be altered come Febuary.

I listened and I think its okay. Not great, but not bad either. The only thing I didn't like was the mention of Jack Sparrow. I like how the narrator is still a "character" and not just a generic voiceover like on TTA, and the spiel still gives you some insight into the lands and a little bit of history. I also wish it didn't mention the attractions, but the previous spiel did this too.
Call my crazy, but I think it is better without the music.

Yeah, but something isn't always better just because it came first.

While it may play a huge role, all it does is bring back memories for the person, or it could affect the seriousness of the ride...as long as they maintain the theme the ride was going for, why does it matter? I feel that with TTA they still kept the gist of what it was meant to do. :shrug:
Was the original horribly written and did it have irritating character interruptions? Didn't think so. I'm so sick of people like you trying to remind those of us that hate it that we're obviously uninformed about how it used to be. It's not the style that's offensive, it's the quality. :brick:

^ Exactly, like how the spiel refers to two seperate things as "out of this world!", tells you that Carousel of Progress is "four families", has generic filler like "share the fun!", etc.
Its a horrible, HORRIBLE narration and script no matter how you look at it.

Could you be more specific? :ROFLOL:
To be honest, I believe the Walt quote saying "Disneyland will never be completed" is one of the most overrated quotes attributed to Walt. It's simply bad business if you don't add anything to a theme park, nevermind the stuff about dreams and imagination. If a theme park is ever "complete", it will go out of business.
On topic, I prefer the new narration. There was nothing to suggest the Indian village was from Pocahontas...it just seemed like someone stipulated there had to be some sort of tie-in. The narration seems cleaner, and embodies the fact you're on a train seeing the Magic Kingdom, nothing more.

Horribly disappointed. Guess I'll be listening to the old narration on my ipod.
To me, this is WDW's biggest problem - Fixing things that aren't broken. Change is great if necessary. Change like this adds absolutely nothing to the attraction. It only takes away what many loved. Same with the TTA narration.

Im shocking myself by saying this, but I dont mind the new narration, I like the new voice and even the script I was very suprised. They infused quite a bit of American western history.. I am miffed they took away Pocahontas, that was something that was unique to our train route and for some reason I always enjoyed it, and they took away the other little tidbits of music and such that made it a little extra ambient.
I think they are still tweaking and playing with it, all it needs is some pockets of background music.

Yeah, I never understood why he says that. The family is only one, it's the house that changes through the years!!! It's completely wrong.

Not bad! My only complaint is the lack of music; put some transitionary BGM in there and it'll be a decent change.

Speaking as someone who loathes, LOATHES the new TTA narration, I can honestly say I have a hard time finding anything to hate about this new narration.
Even the music being gone - I never really liked how the first thing you would hear when leaving main street wasblaring music, when the ride should be relaxing and peaceful.
Yeah, its shocking that things like this made it passed the editing stage. Or how the narrator adds in "share the fun!" after the description of MILF.
I can just picture it... "we have a little bit of a gap here, we need to add in something, like, I dunno, share the uh... fun. There, done."

I just don't see the point in it. As I said, it adds nothing, only takes something away. The old narration with the music had a certain vibe to it. This just feels empty.

That's your opinion, though. They think otherwise, as do I. :shrug:
