Is this like one of those games from Highlights magazine where we have to spot the differences?

The difference is one more sip of rum

Can't wait for the photos of them fitting the cable. I can only imagine how much of a pain in the rear that'll be!

I mean, I like the idea, I love new transportation, but those towers are anything but elegant. The clean lines of a concrete monorail beam they are not.

Not trying to be a downer, I'm actually pretty excited for this, ugly towers (is there any chance they get painted?) notwithstanding.

I am kind of doubtful they will paint...though they could do vinyl wrap graphis on the lower portions.... I think they will just count on the gondolas looking neat and forget aoout the towers...

To the bolded, about as likely as parking lot light posts, IMHO.

Gondola towers will not be painted, with a few exceptions.

All towers are galvanized steel, but the one opposite the IG station is painted go away green and reportedly the one located next to the DHS station is painted, too.

Others may appear, but they'll be the exception, not the rule.

That's what I figured. Didn't think they would galvanize and not paint before installation. It's wishful thinking I guess.

That's what happens when you don't order all the parts you need from the same lot.

And somewhere, there's a project with 49 green towers and one gray one...

Another option is to hang banners from some of the towers similar to this.

I don't see why they would want us to look at the towers. How many times have they painted the monorail beams? The gondolas vehicles are the interesting things they would paint and wrap for your viewing pleasure

I love the Disneyland banners, that would be a great addition as guests are heading to the Gondola stations to get some new guests excited.

The monorail beams look anything but clean nowadays.

Every tower should have a Maypole party. A $58 Maypole Dessert Party.
