The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom has a new narration track, just in time for its 47th birthday today, July 1. We noted earlier this year that Disney had posted a casting call for “ORAC.” The PeopleMover narrator from 1985 to 1994 was named ORAC-1. In the casting call, ORAC was described as an “enthusiastic AI” who would take guests “on a tour of a futuristic land.”

It seems Disney found their new ORAC and the updated narration can now be heard on the highway in the sky. Watch our video featuring the new narration and read our list of major changes below.

How do you feel about the new narration for Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover? Let us know in the comments.

I think you also missed the references right off the bat to “If You Had Wings” and “Take Flight”, two extinct attractions.

OH MY GOD THEY BROUGHT THE CHIME BACK!!!!!! Really needed to get that off my chest, but I couldn’t be more happier about this update. With the return of the chime, ORAC, early Tomorrowland Easter eggs I think we needed this.

My only complaint is that there’s some gaps on route that have very lack of narration specifically before entering Space Mountain. That is if they’re waiting for Tron to be completed so that they can add more. But overall, this was a pretty good update and a very nice throwback.

Nice! Can’t wait to ride in Oct.

Fantastic update! Thank you so much for posting the whole ride-through – can’t wait for next visit to WDW to experience it “live”, but this video made my day! Thank you!

Huh… ORAC was the name of the sentient computer in the 1979-1981 British SF series “Blake’s 7”. I wonder if there was a connection.
