Dlrr ?

Are they going to update the naration on the DLRR to reflect the fact that there are 5 trains now instead of 4?

I like the traditional voice, but I would be nice to have updated information and the same voice throughout the entire trip around Disneyland.

5 TRAINS? :confused:

E.P. Ripley
Ernest.S. Marsh
C.K. Holiday
Fred Gurley?

Yup another train is supposed to be added to the collection. The new engine is from a private collector and it's being completely refurbised. The engine will be named Ward Kimall, after Disney animator and railfan. The headlamp will feature Ward's paintings of Jiminy Cricket, the character he created and animated in Pinocchio.

No. 1 C.K. Holliday
No. 2 E.P. Ripley
No. 3 Fred Gurley
No. 4 Ernest S. Marsh
No. 5 Ward Kimball

I agree and also like the current voice. Sometimes it's nice (especially when going into Toon Town) to get information on shows (like Snow White) or parades when they are going to happen soon.

its Thurl Ravenscroft and he is still alive so it would be great if they could get him to re-record the narration.

I hope the next train will be a tribute to Ollie Johnston (another RR enthusist).

I'm really glad that they're naming the fifth for Ward. He was one of the last remaining greats of his time. We need more people like him in the company. I think that as long as they keep "the voice" an update would be nice. And I hope that they can get the WK on the tracks by the 50th.

I know I'm stepping in a little late here, but I just wanted to clarify that there will still be four trains (sets of cars). But there will be five locomotives.

I also saw a train being tested yesterday (I don't know which one) but it just had one passenger car with workers and the engine. It was bizarre seeing the train blow right through the Mainstreet station without stopping...
