I heard recently that Disney has been thinking about building a light rail system between some of the parks! Tell me what you think about this idea!

Light rail is sort of like a subway but above ground and mostly elevated, it is used as a mass transit system, hope this helps!

I hope they dont do this. Think about Disney is Supposed to be innovative for the future of transportation. So why would they built a system that has been in cities like chicago and New York and they've been there for awhile. I really hope this doesnt happen.

Well I was thinking that they would just have look like Chicago light rails. To me the buses are normal on roads. But it would not be normal to see a light rail. What they should do is design a light rail, but design the car to look like a monorail, at least on the outside, and also have the track kinda look like a monorails.

It doesnt look like a monorail though. It looks like a subway, but aboveground.

Another difference:
Monorail is more of an attraction
Light Rail is a pratical means of transportation

you really think that most people view the monorail as an attraction? i never thought of it that way.

It's the only place I'll ever go that I can ride one (except DL someday). You feel like you are flying in the air. I go out of the way to ride it into EPCOT each trip. I am always excited when I first see one when entering the property.
Yes, I view it as an attraction. The buses I view as a means of transportation. The monorail I ride for fun.:sohappy:

yea, i understand that a lot of the WDW enthusiests (sp) might view it as an attraction, but i'm not sure that i think that the general public views it that way, and there are a lot more of them than there are of us.

I think I found it an attraction way before I became an enthusiest. Think about some of the first things people relate to WDW, especially people who have never been before:
1. It's just for kids (but let's not get into that one)
2. The Big Golf Ball
3. Mickey Mouse
4. The Monorails
5. The Castle
6. Expensive (let's not touch that one either)
The monorail is always in the minds of people when they think WDW, even more so than DL. My nephew is going with us in Nov. and one of the few things he asked about was Shamu and the Monorail ride (he's never been to Florida, he's also 15). For any child, the monorail is an attraction compared to a bus. My main statement was that the monorail is more "like" an attraction, whereas Light Rail is more "like" typical transportation. I really don't feel this is a Disney-holics view of the Highway in the Sky, but maybe I'm too drunk on Disney to see clearly.
