CM drivers : which monorail is the fastest?

[s8film40]

I have also hit 24 in Contemporary. I always P-5 half way through, at the elevators. I've been told my the Resort side loaders that 24 through there is extremely loud!

You should see 35 through the Contemporary.

What would be great is to close down the tracks and platforms. Put 2 monorails on the resort loop and let them race. :ROFLOL:

That is if my memory serves me right and there are 2 rails that go all the way around the loop.

Yes but one is shorter. In any case that would be lots of fun.

Really? The limit there is 15mph on Express. Was it 25 before?

I like to believe whichever Monorail I'm in is indeed the fastest

Sometimes when the TCS would have problems, like continuous tachometer discrepancies maintenance would put the bypass relay in the train to disable the speed control system.

Meaning you could hit 45 in a 20 zone??

Coral was my first and my last, so I do have a soft spot for her. I haven't seen Coral in person since she shed the TRON nonsense. Can't wait to see her again in person!

Red is my favorite for 2 reasons...first the COLOR (red is my favorite color), and secondly I loved the way Red drove from Cab 6. And Resorts was my favorite beam to drive. The Cab 6 horn of Red is the best sounding of the entire fleet. The false overspeeds were a PITA but we all have our issues I guess! Wasn't really a fan of Red from Cab 1 because of the MCU being a bit loose. I was able to hit the mark every time coming into a station in B1, but sometimes the slightest movement in my arm was just enough to bump me into neutral and I overshot my mark.

My favorite train to drive on express was either Lime or Black. Lime I think is the best accelerator and I never had a problem with its brakes. Black is also a decent accelerating train, but the brakes are AMAZING. I loved speeding into a station with that train!

I didn't really have a train preference for Epcot. There were a few trains that would only do 37 or 38. I forget which train it was, but it held 42 going down Epcot.

My top speeds were decent. 40 on Express coming out of the Contemporary with Lime and 48 out of the Contemporary in Black on Resorts, both without an overspeed stop.

But to answer the original question, no matter what train you board you are going to get to your destination in about the same time.

It was always 15 and I have some documentation from the mid 90's that also shows it as a 15 zone. The only 35 zone is on Epcot.

I have hit 33 in the Contemp.

OK I propose we set up some kind of time trial. maybe we can convince a driver to log his/her time on a common stretch of track for each train preferably coming out of a station. like a drag race. that way we can finally have an answer to which one is fastes

I don't think that's going to happen...

 

[ob1thx1138]

I don't think that's going to happen...

Not even a timing of zero to speed limit coming out of the ttc heading to the shed at night?

I'd pay good money for a 65-70MPH ride from the TTC to EPCOT Center.
