Published: Dec. 16, 2009, 4:59 a.m.

b'In this episode Matt and Nate revisit their Tomorrowland 1994 RetroMagic series by visiting one of everyones favorite attractions at Walt Disney World, the ever popular Tomorrowland Transit Authority.\\xa0 As Nate says, "Its hard to pinpoint why this attraction is so popular; It isn\'t exciting, There arent any audio-animatronics, and there are no real special effects.\\xa0 However, it is nostalgic, its easy so the whole family can ride it and theres hardly ever a line."\\xa0 For the first ten years the WEDway Peoplemover was basically a tour of Tomorrowland voiced by the legendary Jack Wagner.\\xa0 Then in 1986 the attraction changed to a commuter computer and the focus changed from a tour to\\xa0focus more on the linear induction motor.\\xa0 In 1994 the attraction changed again with the Tomorrowland refurbishment and the ride turned into an attraction that had depth and a story and seemed like so much more than a tour.\\xa0 In 2009 the attraction changed back to more of a tour of the area and less a part of a sytem of transit throughout a fantasy world of tomorrow.\\xa0 Theres just something about the TTA that makes us all feel a little closer to Walt Disney himself.\\xa0 This\\xa0may be the best podcast ever\\xa0produced.\\xa0 We added that last line\\xa0just so it would appear in Mush\'s Blog.\\xa0 In the news this week we discuss the new walkway being built to connect the once temporary Bugs Land\\xa0at DCA to the Hollywood Pictures Backlot.\\xa0 Also the closing of the Aladdin Show at the Hyperion Theater is discussed.'
