The Walt Disney World Resort has given the green light to Transportation to between work on Monorail 12. In the July 5th crash, the cabs of Monorail Pink and Purple were completely destroyed but the passenger cars directly behind the cab only sustained minor damage. In building Monorail 11 (Monorail Teal) WDW used the cabs and the six passenger cars the farthest away from the point of impact. The six passenger car closest to the point of impact have been fixed and are sitting in the Monorail garage. WDW is building two brand new cabs and will use the six passenger cars to build Monorail 12 to be put into service during WDW fiscal 1st quarter. (Oct-Dec 2010).

Hope it's not maroon. I graduated from The University of Texas so I'll have to pass on that one.

Teal and Fuchsia are the respective complementary colors of Coral and Lime, the existing "delta" fleet. Fuchsia would be a bit garish though... but darken it a bit and subtract the blue and you arrive at Maroon. Interesting, huh?

Monorail Maroon was pitched at the Transportation cast meeting as a tribute to Austin, the fallen Man in Maroon. Everyone loves the idea, and while no official announcement has been made yet, I think there is a very good chance it will happen...

Someone had fun with their colors... :lookaroun :lol:

Good point though about the complementary colors, and the Man in Maroon reference is interesting.

I was told maroon as well, back in December. Maroon does seem a bit dark, but... Monorail Black?...

And the Man in Maroon tribute sounds lovely. :)

Just a thought, when the accident happened last year, there were several monorail pilots (former and current) talking of the characteristics of the individual trains - i.e. I think it was Silver trainees want to avoid like the plague on check-out day b/c of the terrible braking, Red throwing random overspeeds. I found the discussion interesting, if not a bit revealing about why certain trains seem to overrun a lot.

Any current pilots care to chime in on what Teal drives like?
