If they do, I've got an incredible deal on some oceanfront property in Arizona they'll want to buy before anyone else!

How dare you interject facts into this discussion! J/k! Thanks for your research, and giving an actual answer.

I'd be willing to bet Disney was shrewd enough to retain all the IP rights they need to maintain, update, and/or replace the Mark VI monorails. Remember at one point, the ALWEG company called Walt and told him to stop with the DL monorail because their own train "didn't work." The story is Walt...

LOL, let me put it this way, does the Innoiva 200 run on standard gauge? What about the 300?

Thanks, Captain Obvious. Now check under the hood...and as I mentioned before "rail equipment" is quite different in construction, material, design, requirements, and behavior. ALWEG was not a company that evolved from traditional rail. It is very possible the monorail business unit is not part...

I can't wait to be told again how the park closures in China will have no effect on the domestic parks. As always, thanks for your insight and sharing with us what you can.

Anyone know whether or not this would include "monorails"? The article really only talks about the "Rail Division" business unit of Bombardier Transportation. I'm reading between the lines, but that tells me Alstrom is not buying ALL of Bombardier Transportation. So, that begs the question, what...

Agreed. The film has one of the best stories of all time. Additionally, this movie was an amazing technological accomplishment for it's time. If you ever have the opportunity, watch this film. It's a shame we can't buy legitimate copies of this movie in the U.S.

I believe it was announced yesterday that MMRR was going straight to FP+ on opening day in WDW.

I could not disagree with this more. This show deserves to be restored to completely functional status and pristine upkeep. Bring back the "Metro Retro Historical Society" to present it to justify it's continued existence in Tomorrowland if need be. Parker, you've nailed the problem: dwindling...

I think that's the strategy behind Roadster Racers and Mixed-Up Adventures and then on to the cartoon shorts - new and classic in a nutshell. It's certainly proving to be a successful strategy in my family. ETA: I think the article is clickbait, nothing more. Admittedly, it got me to read it...

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

Nah...sinkhole :eek:

I thought that was the Matterhorn and Harold! :hilarious:

Some of the posters over there were insistent that the park closures in China would have no effect on the domestic parks because of the financial insulation/isolation. They were also contending #ThanksShanghai (from the 2016/17 budget cuts to domestic parks) was silly and had nothing to do with...

@wdwmagic is reporting he's alreading starting to hear rumors of belt tightening in the swamps in response to the Chinese park closures. He's got a new thread about it in the WDW News and Rumors section. Sounds like @TP2000 still has his finger on the pulse.

Some of our folks on the Disneyland sub-forum ought to be enjoying their heapin' helpin' of crow right about now after they insisted the international parks were insulated and the previous #ThanksShanghai of a few years ago was overblown. @TP2000 deserves props for calling this first as to...

No rush, we just miss him and Roger. :cool:

Oh no! I'm going to be turned in to a Ready-Teller, "I'm sorry, you're overdrawn." This is a nightmare!
