Cool, but not much of a difference, huh? I can't imagine not calling it the TTA (aka "place to go in Tomorrowland when it's POURING) at this point..

Yeah, it really isn't enough, especially after they just recently added that new soundtrack (which does mention the name Peoplemover at one point).
Looks like the link is broken somehow, but it's a link to the official Disney Parks blog which reports that TTA will now officially be known as Tomorrowland Tranist Authority Peoplemover.

Here is the text of the blog:
Not sure whether itâs a case of back to the future or forward to the past or the past meets the present, but: a long-running Tomorrowland attraction is getting a new (well, sort of new) name â¦
As of today, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, the âsuper skywayâ that allows guests a glimpse of a variety of attractions in Tomorrowland of Magic Kingdom, will be renamed Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.
The ride opened in 1975 as the WEDway PeopleMover. It has been called Tomorrowland Transit Authority since 1994.
The ride technology, which uses pollution-free linear induction motors, was developed by WED Enterprises (thatâs what Disney Imagineering was called back in the day) and was introduced at Disneyland in California in 1967. While the attraction at Disneyland has long been closed, there is a place other than Walt Disney World Resort where guests can experience an application of the WED technology. Any guesses as to where?

Just guessing but could it be the monorail shuttles between the terminals at MCO (Orlando Int. airport).

So are we supposed to call it the TTAP now?
I fully appreciated the TTA when it was the WEDway..so I can't say I am a purest but I do like when Disney incorporates vintage Disney into the parks.

It feels like a pretty dry bone! They're just re-naming, right? I'd like to hear the difference in the narration -- I know the recent changes left a lot of the favorite lines out.
With this and MSEP, should we expect World of Motion back in EPCOT Center, soon
