I agree with you that the Monorail system could use an update and possible expansion. I would love to see a design change to mimic the Disney-Paris design for Space Mountain. A Jules Verne / Victorian science fiction motif. The next best amazing technology from 1880 that has been caught in...

Sorry, I just realized that I missed a post with some info that I just duplicated.

As everyone probably knows, the Seven Seas lagoon was originally conceived to have a ring of resorts as well as some on Bay Lake. The site for the Grand Floridian was originally planned to be an 'Asian' resort. The Contemporary and BLT area was originally theme as the 'Tempo Bay' resort...

Here goes. By upgrading the fleet of diesel powered buses to a hybrid powered articulated and / or bi-articulated TrolleyBus system would address many shortcomings of the present system. In addition, by pairing this system with PRT / GRT systems utilizing the same power supply, pathways and...

Okay, so here it comes. The WDW Resort transportation infrastructure is obviously aging poorly. In a perfect world, the expansion of the Monorail system to include DHS, DAK, DD (Springs) would be ideal. Tying the Monorail system into the “eventual” high-speed rail link from MCO and maybe...

Can you say PodRacer PRTs? How about LandSpeeder Trolleybuses and SkyHopper Monorails. Nice. Oh yea, AT-AT buses, if they are even that fast.

Agreed. Short of a Resort-wide overhaul that could be amortized over decades, there won't be any Monorail expansion. If WDW, Inc. had followed the original plan for EPCOT, then the cost could be justified. I would love to see it happen but it just doesn't make sense. That being said, WDW...

Flavious, if you agree with my premise that PRTs would be overwhelmed as the primary mode of guest transit, then I agree with you that they would be ideal as the more specialized transit for individuals and small groupds. The PRTs would be the most appropriate after-hours transit option. It’s...

I think that we both agree that a multi-faceted transportation system would be ideal. No one system would seem to satisfy all needs (speed, capacity, comfort, flexibility, reliability, scalability, etc.). I agree that PRTs would benefit WDW but I think that there utilization would be best suited...

I would like to propose a compromise that I believe seems to meld many of these suggestions into a cohesive, comprehensive, resilient and sustainable solution. Once again, this is my completely uninformed opinion. BTW, I dont work for WDW or any transit-related industry. There are many...

A point of clarification and/or supplement. I apologize for the length of these replies but there is quite a bit to say on this topic. Using my uninformed and amateur vision, I foresee four basic scenarios for WDW in the future and I hope that the Imagineers are thinking 10-20 years in the...

I am a huge fan of the monorails as a transit system, when & where appropriate. Like many of you, I have designed detailed systems of an expansion across WDW. In one scenario, I have 25 separate stations distributed across 4 "loops" (MK, EPCOT, Animal/Studios & Downtown/Vista. I have stops at...
