Monorail is too expensive and there isn't really the density to support it. Between DHS and AK Plus at MK they kinda overlook the expense of it since its also an attraction that's part of the entry experience. There are definitely other fixed track options that exist that are cheaper though...

I really hope they don't do that. It's much more visually intrusive than the monorail beam. Plus it's nice to have variety, so would rather see them explore something else. After no new non bus transportation options since the monorail hate to see them settle for an off the shelf product...

Thanks The arrival experience seems rather underwhelming. A fake elevator vs a spaceship ride. The whole place seems rather small without much recreation, but guess we will have to wait and see what storytelling part adds

While I doubt they will, would be cool if instead of just pulling up in front of the hotel like a normal hotel. They should build an Earth Launch center, where you arrive and board a shuttle to be launched up to the spaceship. Could use the same launch bay and vehicle as the Hotel to Galaxy...

Yea whenever people mention the demise of the monorail it's simply not going to happen. And unlike if it was a transportation system that was expected to be self funding, like the Sydney Monorail that was torn down. The Disney monorail is as much attraction as it is transportation, along with...

Oh so it's some star wars reference. If they didn't want to commit to a full system, a baby system connecting Star Wars Land to the Star Wars Hotel could be a good small scale testing ground .

The main difference would be no need for drivers or an additional cost for guests (other than possibly All Stars) But your right Disney of the past was about trying new technology and taking risks, the Disney of today is all about the safe choice. Hence the decision to build the Skyliner...

What's X-S tech?

This could also be built to the west of the west side. A reimagining of the Hyperian Warf project in a different location. That would really utilize all the land around the lake. Next would be redoing Saratoga Springs from the ground up to turn it into a mix of accommodations and...

Disney PRT (Personal Rapid Transport) System to Connect Southern End of Disney World I've had this idea for awhole and think it would be pretty cool and also right in line with Disneye recent moce of building the Skyliner as an alternative transport option. A PRT SYSTEM Like the one at...

I agree, I don't really see this system ever being expanded, just like the monorail was never expanded (though I disagree that they'd ever get rid of the monorail, especially with all the money recently spent on automation. What I'd love to see would be a PRT system that could branch from CBB...

Doesn't seem so bad during the daytime with the Triton lift, but at night in the dark this would be insane. Hopefully they never have to do it. Would be especially bad if all 3 lines needed evacuation at the same time.

Probably charge a flat rate for a meal upfront that way if someone did skip the meal Disney would still get paid for it. That would be easier than holding a deposit if people didn't eat.

They really don't keep old stuff around like many people think. Once the Backtour closed at DHS the teams were almost immediately sold off. As much as it would be cool to have a history of Disney museum, Disney simply just doesn't think that way and once something is no longer useful and...

It could never be a removable band like the current magic bands. It would also mean making all current magic bands a one time use fixed on design. Otherwise people could buy say 2 cheaper bands and 2 regular bands and just swap them between members of the family. While an option like this...

Glad to see this thread got renamed. Since there's NO RAIL PROJECT in the USA that is true HIGH SPEED RAIL at least in the European or Japanese sense. While it's faster than Amtrak that's mostly due to a slightly more direct route and less stops.

Anything less than a complete total system failure they should be able to move the cabins a few feet. Plus this is probably why the fire department was involved with the training as their equipment has a further reach than the primary rescue vehicle. On the epcot line this could also be why...

Definitely a cool tool. Looks like they modified it special for this with platforms and gates on the ends.

Definitely it would be the option on last resort, but just like on the coasters and many other attractions there must be a plan. That's one advantage of Disney having the Reedy Creek Improvement District, it's easier to train the fire department for rescues when their main focus is events on...

They definitely could have included a few gondolas with A/C only accessible via a daily upcharge. Surprised the bean counters didn't think of that.
