Apropos of nothing, Tokyo has announced that their just under 20 year old monorails will be replaced starting from next spring. https://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/tdrblog/detail/pr190925/

Speaking of East... I wonder what's up with the former Computer Central these days? It still housed critical server infrastructure as of a few years ago. The trifecta of Guest Relations, Computer Central, and Electric Umbrella Chicken Nuggets gives me faith and hope that quarter of...

Sun is finally out :cool:

❤️❤️❤️

Maybe I’m biased but I felt this deserves its own thread. :D

Well. Hope this isn’t as serious as it looks. I fear expensive damage would not bode well for a sponsorless, non-IP attraction.

Yes, the door opening should have triggered a door alert and an automatic stop. The driver would then be required to engage the door override to get the monorail moving again at a greatly limited speed. Guests putting weight against the door to break the seal is sufficient to trigger the alert...

As for the World Drive water bridge crunch problem, I could see them circumventing that by sending TTC/GF/Poly buses the long way around on Floridian Way once the road improvements in that area are complete. It's a much longer route but would benefit from splitting the load and being almost...

It's true but I misspoke slightly. Mark V were the brand new bodies on the Mark III chassis. Mark VII is a restyling of the existing V bodies plus new noses. Still the Mark III chassis from the late 60s underneath!

Disneyland only put new fiberglass bodies on their existing (very small) trains. Didn't replace them. That whole project was peanuts compared to the cost of developing new trains for WDW.

It even has a fireworks view! Truly a Premium offering that guests will love! $$$

The falling collector shoe incident that was all over social media a couple months back hopefully served as a wakeup call in that regard...

Disneyland has suffered the blemish of the abandoned Peoplemover tracks for going on two decades now and no one really seems to care. I can't imagine the WDW monorail beams will be any different.

When the system finally degrades to the point that the meager maintenance budget cannot keep it running then yes, at that point the monorails will be replaced. Unfortunately the replacement will be new bus routes.

Epcot '18 :eek:

Automatic frosting windows could hide the unmagical backstage areas. This is already used on urban transportation systems worldwide. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_glass

The military-style ribbon bars are a little bizarre but otherwise the new consumes are okay I guess. Maroon was so dated that any change is an improvement really.

The Boardwalk Ballyhoo tour is no longer offered. Sorry to bump this old thread but I just wanted to mention that since I didn't see it confirmed online when I was planning.

Expo feels pretty dead this afternoon. We were out in about an hour and that included picking up the missing party ticket and buying merchandise. Apparently a lot of people didn't get their party ticket but at least the process for picking up the replacement was very smooth. Kudos to...

We fly out tomorrow morning and I have my party ticket but my girlfriend's never came. Same address. :mad: Guess we'll be waiting in line at the expo Welcome Center tomorrow.
