That'd be great ideas, Ant and never2old... I guess that wouldn't be too difficult to create such new videos for the screens?

But right, I also don't really listen to them anymore :lol: But for people who have never been on the Studio Tram Tour it'd be great if they created headphones or something like that in different languages, so everybody can understand the infos...

I really like the idea of a disney character to be the moderator. I guess especially children would like it. But I understand that it might not fit into the real Holywood theme.
Also I like the idea with the headphones like in HISTA.
I like the Studio Tram Tour and when I'm riding it it always seems as if people would like it too. Of course, some parts might be boring. But on the other side it's  a really relaxing and comfortable ride. To be honest I can't understand why it's so unpopular. Of course it's not the best ride in DLRP but also not the worst.

Maybe the change in route will also get something new added to the tram tour? We can only hope!

After all the cast members get soooo bored of the tour they tend to fall asleep! ;)



This was taken in December whilst we were waiting for the tour to start, the other tram was heading to Reign of Fire, they were great tho, when they saw me taking pictures they gave me a wave :)


I don\'t know when, I don\'t know how, but I know something is starting right now.
Watch and you\'ll see, someday I\'ll be Part of Your World.

The drivers have such a boring job on the tram tour, they do very little and have no guest interaction to give them a bit of variety.

The Tram tour is so flat these days, there is nothing pulling me towards the ride anymore, I can't stand hearing Jeremy Irons talking about Dinotopia much more.

I think a live host would add some variety to it (with up-to-date jokes and more modern spiels) but the old language barrier would make an apperance again.

I like the idea of a live host, maybe set up with regular slots like Stitch Live with one English tram and one French tram, but it probably wouldn't solve the attraction.

Actually if anything it'd make it worse -- they'd have nothing to talk about! At least the current video screens can fill the gaps with pointless movie clips (that just make the real-life tour look even more depressing) and hilarious jokes.

I still don't understand why DLRP/WDI/whoever didn't try to get any of the Pirates/National Treasure/Narnia/Enchanted props. It's just crazy how dull this attraction is considering their recent catalogue.

I agree with you Anthony I started several years ago going on the tram tour within a year I was totally bored of it even though it does have some good bits there are so many other areas in the tour that let it down even the upkeep of the trams is questionable with big cracks forming in the Fiberglass seats, Half the letters missing of the side of most trams and on some weekends there are only 2 trams running creating unaceptable queue lengths because of out of service trams break downs etc.

Last time I went on the Tram, in October, the CM onboard was doing his own commentary, between the clips. He was really funny!! He was speaking French, so not sure how many people understood him, but my brother and I had a great time. Not sure how official his commentary was (since it mostly involved mocking the video one or saying some ride bits were very boring), but he really livened it up!

I think it'd be great to see some live commentary on the STT, it would add something a little nit more special to the ride, a bit like the skippers on the Jungle Cruise in the American parks. However I do feel that they need to implement it if or when they completely re-do the ride, at which point they would really need to add to it and make it a lot more exciting, interesting and re-rideable... :)

A blue bird told me that the Tram Tour road should be finished around May 2009.  :)

I was there last week and they've got alot of construction taking place on the ride. Big boards are up so you cant see anything and some props and tour tram video bits were missing.

I have to say it is one boring ride now!!
