Not sure how "Opinions on Twitter" are any different than the "Man on the Street" interviews TV stations used to do, for those of us old enough to remember, but I digress........
First choice: Billy Connolly
Second choice: Bob Dylan.

Thats exactly my point...Twitter hot takes are worth as much as the opinion of Jeb from the trailer park.

Keeping with the backwoods image of the country currently I understand that the choice will be Larry the Cable Guy. The descent is just going to be a continuous loop of "Get r' Done!I agree, David Attenborough would be the best choice for a new narrator!

With the Fox buyout, Disney could make Dr. Nick (from the Simpsons) the narrator:
Dr. Nick: And now everybody we are passing by the Library of Alexand- Inflammable means flammable? What a Country!

Some cruel irony in the Fox purchase right there...
I would argue few things have damaged monorails as a valid form of mass transit more than that Simpson’s episode...
Disney was one of the pioneers of the monorail, and will soon own its destructor.

Sorry if it’s already been mentioned... can only read back so many pages! So just ignore if I’m late to the party lol.
My understanding is that there could be significant demo being done at the rear of the attraction to accommodate a new load/unload and fastpass. I have no idea how but something is also in the works to allow for easier load and unload for those guests with disabilities as well (prevent stoppage).
On a positive note, this should allow for the vast majority of the queue to be indoors in the AC but I have to admit, if this does turn out to be accurate, I’ll miss waiting under this amazing, iconic structure.
Regardless, my vote for the new narrator goes to Mike Rowe.

If we are voting on new narrators, Im voting for @marni1971 ...
There are just large blocks of words in a sans serif font floating in front of each scene...each one silently describes what is going on.

Given that we now have a Play Pavilion, maybe Spaceship Earth will become the Sleep Pavilion...

He would be a good choice. He was a great narrator for HOP. Let's just say he didn't want to do that again. He would be a good fit for SSE.
