That's a train. Not a monorail. Are you really suggesting a monorail should be wrapping around a swiss village? It was a stupid decision that St. Walt approved of and it led to years of going back and forth between Matterhorn being in Fantasyland, where it belongs, and Tomorrowland, where it physically is. The monorail has no place in Fantasyland. It's right up there with my 6-year olds remarking on the nonsense of seeing Mad Tea Party behind Cosmic Ray's (like, physically behind Sonny Eclipse).

If it ever became as widely used as trains it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that it would go the same places trains go.

By that point, they'll have to completely redo Tomorrowland...but they already need to redo Tomorrowland.
I somehow doubt monorails are actually the transport system of the future. They just look fun.

The Skyway beam was so much more immersive.

If i was a ride operator in Space mountain, i would probably keep filling out work orders for the lights every time it was my shift. Maybe the constant annoyance of being told about it would force management to do something about it.
I do that here where i work, fill out work orders for anything i see needs fixing and just keep bugging maintenance to do their job. Somehow it gets done instead of it just being brushed off when its repeated multiple times

Disneyland needs to add this train to GE.
That would probably be a fun coaster if they could pull it off.

There are rail coasters out there. The trick is to put a car on both sides of the rail. It's sad that we see this kind of coaster first everywhere else before Disney gets around to it. Disney's Tron coaster is just cycle coaster in the dark. If Knott's Pony Express were in a dark room with projections it would be the same thing.

What’s you re point? It’s a sleek, aesthetically pleasing monorail that glides by every few minutes. Not the factory where it was built.

Disney really hasn’t been a leader in coaster tech for decades at this point.There are rail coasters out there. The trick is to put a car on both sides of the rail.

Those RMC raptors are pretty awesome though and can cost a lot less, but deliver poor capacity.

It’s thematic nonsense in Fantasyland. Why do you think Matterhorn has flipped and flopped between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland.
What else in Fantasyland is sleek, aesthetically pleasing, and futuristic? The monorail looked ridiculous on the Golden Gate Bridge, too. Also looks stupid gliding through the Grand Californian.

Where did I use the word “thematic” in my post?
Yes, you can see a Monorail in Fantasyland. Space Mountain from Main Street. A Courtyard Marriott from Tomorrowland (oops different conversation). Yet these things are aesthetically pleasing and have a certain whimsy to them. They re not warehouses, industrial buildings and business parks. I was speaking about aesthetics. Thematically, DCA is all over the place so I don’t even hold it to any standard. I don’t think anyone can argue that Bugs Land didn’t look better off DCAs Main corridor next to Maters and Grizzly Peak than Spidey-Town will. What value it could bring to the park is a different conversation.

Also @MansionButler84 and this is more subjective now, for those of us who grew up with the monorail (which is all of us unless we have a 90 year old lurker here who yearns for pre 1959 Disneyland) it’s just as whimsical as anything in Fantasyland and is part of its identity. I suppose that can happen with buildings that look like circuit city after many years too.
And to go back to your original point. Let’s not forget that the monorail is a transportation ride that never stops in Fantasyland (unless it breaks down) and not a stationary building.
