Because it reminds us of Walt. It reminds us when things were done WED's way.
Also, WED Enterprises owned the transportation at Disneyland so that Walt could take out the trains when he wanted (because he personally owned them, rather than Disneyland Inc.). Naming it WEDway pays homage to Walt and his love of rail transportation
And on a more practical note the narration was less anoying and more informative than the current narration.

Yes, until it closed in 1995, the PeopleMover (sponsored by Goodyear) in California was propelled by tires. Heres a picture and write-up.
The Florida version always ran on magnets. (A fact now omitted in the current narration.)

I was young too, but I remember just walls of white wood lining eveyrthing. It was very mouse in a maze esque, haha. And the white walls were really tall too, not your standard refurb wall.

Oh no! I'll be devastated if it's not open on my trip. 
These things must be done, though. Maybe I'll luck up.

Oh I like the current narration to. I don't know who the narrator is though, but if they could bring him back and the famous jingle/tone with a better revised script of course with tom morrow, mr. johnson, etv would be nice.

Why did they change the name to TTA? I loved the name WED Way. And does anyone know where that concept art is of Tommorowland like 2050 or somthing? It had spaceships, lasers, it was pretty cool
The WEDWay was renamed to keep in theme with the future that never was - since New Tomorrowland was meant to be a city, a city has transit systems and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Metro Blueline was born. Just don`t ask why a city`s transit line has only one station!
There is some concept art of New Tomorrowland, but it looks pretty much how it turned out. Disneyland`s original Tomorrowland 2055 concepts were butchered by the Pressler and Harris accountanteers.

While I was there last month, the TTA broke down right before we entered Space Mountain. It was a little bit scary because the cars in front of us just stopped suddenly and we kept moving full speed towards them. All the cars kept slamming together. I always keep my eyes closed while I'm relaxing on the ride, but I opened my eyes up just in time to see us slam into the car in front of us. We sat there for about 30 minutes before the CMs came and let us out. We had to walk along the side track and climb down steps along the side of Space Moutain.

I am all for a refurbishment but this, along with all the other "classics", is one of those rides I would be furious if it would ever be changed. I LOVE the Peoplemover (sorry it will never bre the TTA to me) and it is hands down one of my top 5 favorites.

I would just be thrilled if they would just make TTA ADA accessible....As its one of the only attractions in the park that is not.

WED enterprises was not one of Walts "fake company names." WED enterprises was the original name for Walt Disney Imagineering.malcolm347 said:

thats prob one of the reasons it hasnt been shut down for a rehab (no offense) If it shuts down even for a minor rehab it prob cant reopen till it can be fully accessible.UltimtMickeyFan said:
