Anyone else hoping for more sinage, and a rename to the WEDWay?

I'm sure my friend is wrong, however ....................... He tells me the TTA track goes right around SM? When you enter SM on the normal route you turn to the right to enter while part of the track goes to the left (this much is true I know). He claims that left track is used to store the spare people movers and actually encircles SM and rejoins the track as you leave SM on the usual route :shrug:
He tells me that you will in fact use this circular 'storage route' until the SM refurb is complete? Just to verify, I live in the UK and have no confirmation of this other than the word of a friend in Orlando. Please don't shoot the messenger this may be complete rubbish :shrug:

He is right - you can see the switches as you enter and leave the mountain.
As for using the backstage route, I doubt it. It`s backstage and looks like it, has a spur line with winch and pit, staircases and the like - it looks like a regular workshop garage.

why was it renamed the TTA

It was done as part of the big Tommorrowland refurb/redecoration in the 90's. They introduced a single semi-cohesive theme to the land, and the Peoplemover was themed as part of the fictional transportation company of the new Tomorrowland.

It was part of the TL94 Refurb...I guess for more cohesive theme?

:lol: No thanks. I like TTA. Peoplemover sounds so obvious, to tell you the truth. TTA fits in with that theme that New Tomorrowland has.

TTA just fits the area. Now if or when it becomes "SciFiCity", who knows?

Nah....nostalgia aside, TTA fits New Tomorrowland better.
(If I can't get Rocket Rods 2.0, at least let me keep the updated name.)

If the original concept for Sci-Fi City would actually be done right (and if they got rid of ToonTown to expand the land) I would be amazed. Also, I would like to see the Discovery Mountain idea come to fruition. Maybe this will actually happen when the next Disney park is built.:shrug:

Discovery Mountain? Never heard of it. Sounds good but what is it?

Space Mountain over at DLP...This is exactly why they changed the name.

When Disneyland Paris was in the planning stages there was a plan (for Discoveryland) for a massive showspace that would house several attractions.
Enjoy!

More exactly, what the concept was before it became the SM they have now.Space Mountain over at DLP...This is exactly why they changed the name.
The true Discovery Mountain was about 4 or 5 times the size, and contained multiple attractions, restaurants, walkthroughs...etc.
