My wife and I were recently at WDW for a conference (our last visit was back in 2001). I had noticed that the voice on the monorail was different from the one I remember in the 90's.
Poking around the net a little, I pieced together a list of folks who had done the voiceovers on the WDW monorails. My incomplete list is as follows:
1. Jack Wagner
2. Kevin Miles
3. Matt Hansen
4. [New guy]
I believe Hansen is the voice I remember during my trips to WDW (with Jack still doing his classic "please stand clear of the doors" spiel). From what I've read, Hansen now works for Disney Cruise Line in Florida. I believe he does the intro to WDW's new podcast as well.
Does anyone have more detailed info about the monorail voices of WDW, perhaps with dates of when certain voices were used (or additions to the list above).
Personally, I'm not a fan of the "new guy", but maybe that 's just tradition. The spiel has also been heavily loaded with advertising more than before. Just comes off as somewhat robotic.
I've got audio clips of the Hansen and Wagner spiels... can't say I remember what Miles sounded like. Anyone have insight on this "Monorail Guy" story at WDW?
