It does just sound like they've cut out the 'brace yourselves' and so it now sounds rather odd to me. Wonder why they removed that- asides from the obvious 'they wanted to change the announcement'- I wonder whether there was another reason behind the cut, probably not I guess haha.
I haven't heard 'brace yourselves' in my most recent visits, it seems a bit odd without the third point in there; things do often sound better in threes, the flow of the announcement has pretty much gone in my eyes. Still a fab ride though.
