Monorail Shut Down

[DougK]

If this has already been posted please forgive me (I know some of you have a problem with that) but we were just at the TTC and could not board the monorail. They said it was a full system shutdown and we saw about 10 Disney execs coming up the exit ramp as we headed down it. I asked one of them and he said it was "probably a maintenance issue" which of course means nothing without more info.

Best laid plans...

I'm not going to argue anymore on here. I'm just going to state my opinions and hopefully add value to the conversation.

Not arguing, just trying to fit in.

No, the monorails already have strobes on the front...

 

[DougK]

All monorails are still down, does anyone have any information?

I knew combining the Fastpass + and Monorail computer systems to save money was a bad idea...

But how else would you reserve your spot on the monorail six months in advance?

Obviously that "extra maintenance" is paying off.

It's 4pm and they are still shut down. 4 trains sitting in ttc and a bunch of starch shirts walking around. A system wide shutdown suggests more than a simple maitn. Issue.

I have been able to find out that it is a complete power failure - now word on the cause or a fix time.

Hopefully this gets resolved before the 10 out of 10 days coming up...

Thanks, Steve. I wonder what single point of failure, power or otherwise, can shut down the mighty rails. I hope nobody got hurt.

Yikes! Sounds like a mess!

 

[cheezbat]

More monorail issues...surprise surprise.

Good thing we have 9 billion busses

Let's decide to laugh instead of cry....

Sad to hear....we had an issue with some flooding back in the 90's that brought them down, back when the "new" trains were coming online. Can't say enough that this famous Disney Icon deserves more.....
Shhhhh, I think I heard Walt roll over in his grave again......

plant problem behind MK at the rectifier facility.. Central shops and the roundhouse are also affected.

Single point of failure = not paying the power bill?

But just pure speculation that it would have to be a single rectifier station near the TTC causing a localized power loss on all three beams for one zone. Other locations have power, they just can't advance the trains because the ones in front of them can't move.

Also how do you have 4 trains in the TTC simultaneously?
