I enjoy the TTA- it's very relaxing. It's actually my husband's very favorite ride, though!

I am a big fan of the TTA. No trip to Tomorrowland is complete without an initial round on the TTA and the ride is even better at night, with Tomorrowland all aglow and the spectacular view of the lit-up castle.

I love it. I wish the original People Mover was still there at Disneyland.

I love the TTA as well. As Aaron said it is a great way to start out in Tomorrowland. You get a great view of Tomorrowland and the castle; and it's nice to be able to board a ride quickly and get off your feet for a few minutes.

Absolutely loved it. Brought back found memories of the People Mover.

I love the TTA. It's a very relaxing trip. What a great ride when it's raining. You can usually just stay on and ride a few times in a row too. That helps when you are waiting for a break in the rain. So, fun in the day or night. I love seeing the model of Walt's version of Epcot. And the nice view of Space Mountain too. The only time we didn't ride it was at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Too much to do!

I like it a great deal. Once, I took my shoes (costume boots) off in it, and that was a welcome relief! I'm not sure that I was technically allowed to do that, but after walking throughout a theme park in pre-Victorian era heels all day, I say the rest was deserved.

TTA is one of my favorite rides in the park...I think it is probably my favorite in Tomorrowland. I think it is a brilliant invention. Did you know it is propelled by magnets? Walt had the technology developed because he intended to use it for people to commute with at Epcot.

While I love the ride, I think they failed to utilize its potential in the park. On the ride they pretend it is a mode of transportation about Tomorrowland. I think they should have really used it to transport you around the land. For example, they should have put a station at the Fantasyland end of the Tomorrowland Concourse (sp?). They should have also put stations by Space Mountain, at the entrance of Tomorrowland, and in the center of Tomorrland (under the Astro Orbiter as it is now). Wouldn't it have been cool if the ride really was a demonstration of what the technology was developed for?

I enjoy the TTA. Almost no lines, very relaxing, a way to cool off, and a great way to see Tomorrowland.

Sometimes, I try to imitate the announcer... "Next stop: Space Mountain" :D

It's nice to know that we're not the only ones- my husband always says, "Next stop, Ameebamee!" (since that's one of my nicknames...)

I like it. I like the relaxing stuff. One of the reasons I LOVE the Disney parks and don't care for other theme parks is that the Disney parks have so many rides that are just relaxing/entertaining without attempting to make you sick.

I love the TTA as well. Whenever I visit the park, Tomorrowland is usually the last land I like to end at for the day, and I find it's just a nice relaxing way to end the day by seeing all the lights of that area of the park.

I try to ride it twice. Once during the day when it's hot out to get off of our feet and once at night to see Tomorrowland all aglow. I like this ride much more than the rest of my family. Of course, I like Disney World more than my wife does.
