Sorry, wasn't sure on the rules of posting links http://disneybrit.com/2011/10/fire-in-tomorrowland/

There is a pic posted on another website that shows a Reedy Creek fire engine blocking the entrance to Tomorrowland in the hub area. Pretty crazy to see.

So although Peach was supposed to come out on 10-7, it turns out it has not made an appearance yet on the beams. Which goes to show how similar Peach is to either Gold/Yellow/Coral or whatever color the OP thought was Peach.

I was thinking the exact same.

They no longer park Monorails nose-to-nose at any station, since 2009. Yes, the Contemporary CAN and HAS had four trains in there, but the most you will see in there is 1 now, on the Resort side. The rules have changed as to where "stay-outs" can be, and each stay out has to have a platform on...

Peach Joins the Fleet Monorail Peach has officially passed all of it's testing, and is expected to officially join the fleet today. I would look for it on the beam if you are in the parks today.

Well as far as I can tell that is the only time a complete train has been covered where no portion of the colored stripe is visible at all. So basically, when you saw a completely "black" train coming towards you at night, you knew it was Coral. If anything, the wrap made it easier to know it...

Supposedly this train is going to try to make an appearance on the 7th.

Really? The limit there is 15mph on Express. Was it 25 before?

I have also hit 24 in Contemporary. I always P-5 half way through, at the elevators. I've been told my the Resort side loaders that 24 through there is extremely loud!

I saw 47 personally, but that was just because the person who was driving (not me) was going for top speed and didn't put the train into braking, he just kept it in P-5 until it Overspeed stopped (which it stopped right at pylon 15, but I was never tempted to overspeed down the hill if the train...

Yes the speed limit there is 30, my record there is 38 in Green. The fastest we can hit is around 47, just at the bottom of the hill from Contemporary, on the Resort beam.

They are all supposed to only go 40mph. I have driven some trains on the Epcot beam that only go 38, for whatever reason, but most go 40. And like s8film40 said, you can get them to go faster on hills. I guess the proper question would be "Which Monorail CM is fastest?" :lookaroun

All of Peach was sitting outside of Shop today and in the bright sunlight. The color is slowly starting to grow on me, still not my favorite, but it isn't terrible. It's kind of like how "Teal" isn't really teal, "Peach" isn't really peach. The difference is, Teal is my favorite train color...

Learn something every day!

Great footage. I just have to laugh though, at 2:46 when the guy with seemingly no fall-protection whatsoever jumps from one Monorail beam to the other, and as if that wasn't enough, is jumping into the path of a moving Monorail. I'd love to see someone get away with that today without being...

I can't tell you the number of times I have almost been rear ended because the car (usually a clean, late model minivan or Chevy....) in front of me slams on their brakes in the fast lane to pull off the road right in front of those EMERGENCY STOPPING ONLY signs. I am all for taking photos, but...

But one of the factors in choosing the new color (as told to me by Blackwell) was having one syllable for radio reasons. Even though "Green" sounds like "3" (and "Coral" sounds like "4") on the radio....

From today. I'm sorry but it just looks too much like Gold to me, especially at night. It will be very hard for Pilots to tell them apart from a distance. And it's hard to tell if they painted the vent window surrounds black on Car 1 to match Cars 2-5.

Just the cabs are new (where the Pilot sits), the passenger sections of 1 and 6 are old, original Purple and Pink.
