    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    Apropos of nothing, Tokyo has announced that their just under 20 year old monorails will be replaced starting from next spring. https://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/tdrblog/detail/pr190925/

    News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

    Speaking of East... I wonder what's up with the former Computer Central these days? It still housed critical server infrastructure as of a few years ago. The trifecta of Guest Relations, Computer Central, and Electric Umbrella Chicken Nuggets gives me faith and hope that quarter of...

    Monorail Lime finally out of shop — Blue deltas are back!

    Maybe I’m biased but I felt this deserves its own thread. :D

    News Spaceship Earth is Leaking

    Well. Hope this isn’t as serious as it looks. I fear expensive damage would not bode well for a sponsorless, non-IP attraction.

    News Monorail Red in motion with guests on board and doors open

    Yes, the door opening should have triggered a door alert and an automatic stop. The driver would then be required to engage the door override to get the monorail moving again at a greatly limited speed. Guests putting weight against the door to break the seal is sufficient to trigger the alert...

    Fix or replace the monorail

    As for the World Drive water bridge crunch problem, I could see them circumventing that by sending TTC/GF/Poly buses the long way around on Floridian Way once the road improvements in that area are complete. It's a much longer route but would benefit from splitting the load and being almost...

    Fix or replace the monorail

    It's true but I misspoke slightly. Mark V were the brand new bodies on the Mark III chassis. Mark VII is a restyling of the existing V bodies plus new noses. Still the Mark III chassis from the late 60s underneath!

    Fix or replace the monorail

    Disneyland only put new fiberglass bodies on their existing (very small) trains. Didn't replace them. That whole project was peanuts compared to the cost of developing new trains for WDW.

    It even has a fireworks view! Truly a Premium offering that guests will love! $$$

    Fix or replace the monorail

    The falling collector shoe incident that was all over social media a couple months back hopefully served as a wakeup call in that regard...

    Fix or replace the monorail

    Disneyland has suffered the blemish of the abandoned Peoplemover tracks for going on two decades now and no one really seems to care. I can't imagine the WDW monorail beams will be any different.

    Fix or replace the monorail

    When the system finally degrades to the point that the meager maintenance budget cannot keep it running then yes, at that point the monorails will be replaced. Unfortunately the replacement will be new bus routes.

    Automatic frosting windows could hide the unmagical backstage areas. This is already used on urban transportation systems worldwide. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_glass

    New Monorail Costumes

    The military-style ribbon bars are a little bizarre but otherwise the new consumes are okay I guess. Maroon was so dated that any change is an improvement really.

    Boardwalk Ballyhoo Tour

    The Boardwalk Ballyhoo tour is no longer offered. Sorry to bump this old thread but I just wanted to mention that since I didn't see it confirmed online when I was planning.

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Expo feels pretty dead this afternoon. We were out in about an hour and that included picking up the missing party ticket and buying merchandise. Apparently a lot of people didn't get their party ticket but at least the process for picking up the replacement was very smooth. Kudos to...
