I just realized this is Monorail Silver. I guess new paint and seats doesn’t make monorails more reliable. 🤣

I mean if it was a car on ground level it’s considsred a crime and has killed many people. Obviously they can remove the emergency windows, but they didn’t likely do that until it was really bad.

To be fair it’s pretty hot today. Being trapped in a enclosed car in this heat can get really bad pretty fast.

I don’t think there’s any issue with the land. It’s been listed as suitable for a very long time. Disney has used far less suitable areas to build on.

There’s no reason to build in that little patch and deal with sight line issues when they have a huge hotel expansion area just to the west large enough for multiple hotels. They could then have watercraft transportation as well as connect walking paths to this path.

They would have to build a dock and like I said that would be a VERY long dock. I highly doubt Disney would put any large money into the EWP. I think we’re lucky they haven’t eliminated it just to cut the handful of CM’s who operate it.

That sounds like a lot more trouble than a drawbridge. I’m all but certain they wouldn’t move forward with this plan with anything other than a drawbridge or swing bridge or something like that. Didn’t someone mention that watercraft has already been informed of this and that they would operate...

They would still need a drawbridge for the riverboat.

I highly doubt they would move the EWP. That would be a lot of work and money for no real benefit. I do think it could possibly close periodically during construction. Theres already a path from the Contemporary, they just need to make a more established path to there and then guests could use...

Yes

The future land use plans have in the past shown an extension of the lagoon in that area to another smaller lagoon with space for several more hotels.

I highly doubt they would build an elevated walkway. Anything elevated over the canal needs to be the same height as the monorail (around 65 feet I believe) to allow the boats to travel out of MK to dry dock for refurbishments. A drawbridge seems like the simplest and cheapest option to me.

While I don't know much about DL policies I know WDW has a policy of not getting involved. Security is basically just supposed to watch and give instructions. Some more seasoned security CM's are much better at being forceful in their demeanor while not actually doing anything. I witnessed a...

Yeah the costume is great! I also heard the entertainment department did this on their own initiative and presented it to Dreamworks who approved the idea. So it seems it was a bit of a passion project for the entertainment team. It’s nice to see things come about that way rather than corporate...

Not that I want to defend anything about that ride, but I believe it’s supposed to be a drone not a helicopter.

I have serious doubts this will happen with all twelve, unfortunately. Disney doesn’t seem to be able to stay consistent long enough for things like this to make their way to all of them.

I don't think it means anything. I don't think we're getting new monorails, but even if we were they would be so far out time wise that these refurbs would still make sense.

Yeah I spent 10 years working in Monorails. I can recall many times where medical emergencies arose on the trains and indeed even times were people unfortunately didn’t make it. There were also many times were confusion of the train involved led to Reedy Creek showing up in the wrong place. When...

It’s not unreasonable for someone to not know what color monorail they’re on. There’s no indication on the inside. Maybe you didn’t realize this?
