Whether you call it Tomorrowland Transit Authority, the TTA, or the WEDway People Mover; it’s still the classic we all love.  Weaving slowly around and through many of Tomorrowland’s attractions, the TTA allows riders to view this area of the Magic Kingdom from a unique perspective.

A long-time favorite of veteran park goers who know it’s the perfect spot for taking a break, parents have also found that the gentle motion will coax a nap out of an overtired baby.

Since it’s generally not crowded, a smile and a wave to the cast member after the first ride will usually be sufficient for several uninterrupted circuits of the route.  The ten-minute journey is accompanied by a humorous narration which continues the theme of a busy metropolis of the future.

Closed for the refurbishment of Space Mountain, the TTA is also expected to receive some enhancements of its own including new LED lights that will be synchronized with the music of Tomorrowland, fresh paint, and a new audio system.  Reopening has been rescheduled for September 12, 2009

If there are lines for this attraction, which is generally a walk-on, you can be certain that the Magic Kingdom is having a very busy day, indeed.
