The stop at the Polynesian was eliminated for the majority of the construction, but monorail service otherwise continued as normal with the monorail simply running straight through the gutted station.

That is impressive for the considerations @lazyboy97o stated. All they were doing at GF was running materials under the beam (well hopefully) and I think there were a couple lifted over the beam.

I think its more so a why? Why build it there? Why take a lifetime to build it? Why ? The train is legitimately missing the 50th....because some hyper intelligent person decided out of all the 4 parks the MK needs this.

This response only make sense if you ignore the fact that the monorail and the WDW Railroad train are entirely different structurally speaking.

MK did need this.

Neither one is going to do well if a steel beam falls onto it. The Walt Disney World Railroad is also supposed to go through a tunnel that could provide protection not to mention the possibility of providing temporary protection.

Mk needed something but it really didn't need THIS and it didn't need it THERE.

there were lots of other options that would not have put a dark coaster next to a dark coaster and shut down the train for years.
I am guessing that there will be no money for show improvements and additions to the train route either...

The train could be operated in shuttle mode instead of loop mode...

He is a frequent poster here isn't he. Fits right inFunny but true story:
My nephew for the past years: cant believe the train at magic kingdom isnt in operation!
last week we went to Disneyland Paris
me: do you want to go on the train?
My nephew: no its stupid. Just a train that goes around the park…

They reach those states or "joyous" ages where trains at theme parks are stupid, they don't want to be in photos at all, or they are too cool to admit something might be fun enough to do.

The lines would be horrendous…
I imagine it would even out.

Why would you think they would be horrendous? The train would still go from Main Street to Fantasy Land. Sure you will have some people on for a longer time but some will be on it for a shorter time. It will even out on average.
