    Default Paperboy is talking again

    the once silent paperboy in SE facing the wall is hollering again. i was suprised when i went on it last wk, as when i was there in Sept he was silent. nice to hear him again though.
    maybe someday they will turn him back around...and add the animated horse back in leaving Rome

    I get so mad that the paperboy is facing the wrong way.
    Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom

    I didn't know he wasn't talking for a while. I was surprised to see that he no longer faces the riders, but instead has his back to us.

    But all in all, I'm just glad that he doesn't sound like he has a two-lighter-a-day habit.
    Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?

    Maybe he was a bad boy and had to go to the corner?

    I don't know but I liked him better the other way lol

    Also with the horse and chariot it was there last time I rode I know occasionally they take the animatronics out to do rehab on them it is easier then walling an area or shutting down the entire ride.

    I wondered why he was turned around too. Glad to see he's talking again though.

    I miss that too! It was rather cheesy, in my opinion, but I loved it! There was just something neat about it. I remember getting stuck there during the ride and watching that horse and chariot for five minutes. I found it quite enjoyable! But then again, I'm insane.

    I belive they are talking about the horse/chariot animation which was removed when they updated the attraction.
    Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

    and i thought i was the only weirdo who loved that horse and chariot part..we would be passing it and i would still be looking back at it..to see if i could catch it just one more time...lol..i loved it for some unknown weird reason..lol..

    Besides talking again, I also noticed that he moves a lot more than he used to. I wonder if he's a new audioanimatronic?
