EPCOT Resorts Cancelled Monorail Loop

[PeterAlt]

Read my prior post where my position is stated and supported with the subsequent post.

I have. You requested a fact-check but instead got more of the same bashing I'm stating to get used to and you replied "thanks, that's the back-up I wanted."

In other words, you had no real serious interest in checking facts. It's just "fun" to give me grief. That is anti-logical.

Post your facts and figures. End the bashing....

My equilibrium is fine, and that movie doesn't have much to do with it. Much like this thread having anything to do with double-secret probation plans for expanding the monorails....

See, even though I've stated over and over again that I never even suggested that there were secret monorail plans, you keep saying this and people begin to think I said that because you said that I said that when in fact I did not. Slanderous.

You can't even quote me accurately......

If you're serious, thanks. I mean it and ignore my previous post.

Whatever. Can we please end the bashing?

Can you provide any facts and figures?

When I was like 12, it was soon after EPCOT opened. I snuck into an off-limits room at Communicore. It had renders of future attractions. There was also a gigantic plaster board with the US Geological Survey of the WDW property. It showed the property boundaries. It also showed a solid line for the monorail system and a dotted line, defined in the key as "future monorail". The dotted line ran east of SSE and wrapped around the WDW Village Lagoon. When I first looked at it, I thought that was the monorail that loops around the Seven Seas Lagoon, but when I took a closer look, I saw that loop was near the top of the survey.

Since then, everyone I told this to said I didn't really see what I saw and it was the product of child's imagination. It wasn't until recent years that I begin to find pieces of things that showed that maybe I did see what I saw. I am confident now that my memory of it is a correct memory.

Ahem.....

No one is bashing.

Right! We just want to see your photographic evidence, and also your strategic plan - with facts and figures - for the new transportation system.

Can you provide the evidence footers were poured despite multiple people saying they weren't?

Well I believe PeterAlt when he says he saw plans for a monorail loop around the then WDW Village, because some people who were given the early sales pitch for Saratoga Springs were told that there were tentative plans to have a monorail go by DTD. I do clearly remember threads about that (although possibly on another forum) at the time of Saratoga Springs construction. So this does coincide with his memory of a map like that. Those plans were scrapped, however, obviously. That doesn't mean they aren't still thinking about how to overhaul the transportation, not just there but property-wide.

Other than the overlay, I have no other evidence yet. I am looking, though. I've said this how many times?

And why does it matter?

Thank you

That's true. Also in this room were renderings of a travel through the human body ride that used sets not the simulator that was built. Also rendering for Living Seas that used lots of special effects, unlike what was built. They had renderings of a space pavilion that let you explore a space station. A Tron Arcade was also rendered. As well as Equatorial Africa, Israel, and Spain for WS.

Fine. Provide the facts and figures of your plan.....

I have an idea that could settle this once and for all. I'm not sure if Edie Sotto is allowed to talk about it, but this was definitely something that was in the works during his tenure at WDI. If this is something he can discuss, feel free to summon him.

So how can you post that you have seen secret plans for monorail expansion, then post you have never "even suggested" that there were secret monorail plans?

Current plans. That was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Okay, same galaxy. But a long time ago.

PeterAlt, was this possibly around 1991 that you saw that in Communicore? Because I remember being in Communicore around that time, and remember seeing a sign about a new section to be opened in Communicore about upcoming attractions, but it wasn't opened yet. And I remember thinking about wishing I could see that.
